Answer:

C. Their properties change completely.

Explanation:

The electron configurations of the elements show a periodic variation with increasing atomic number. Consequently, there are also periodic variations in physical and chemical behavior.

When atoms interact to form a chemical bond, they combine in order to <u>achieve a more stable electron configuration.</u> As a consequence, the compounds formed exhibit completely different properties.

For example, when solid magnesium burns in air, it forms both magnesium oxide and magnesium nitride, which are gases.

Solid-solid homogeneous mixture give one example

likoan [24]

Example of solid - solid homogeneous mixture is copper metal - silver metal like coins and alloys. Homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which one of the substances often changes in form as in a solution of sugar in water. It contains variable proportions. Solution can contain two substances, three substances or more, in a single physical state. The component of a solution that is present in greatest quantity is usually called the solvent and all other components are called solutes.

What happens when an electron in its lowest energy level or ground state when it is by absorbs energy?

tester [92]

Explanation:

atom changes from a ground state to an excited state by taking on energy from its surroundings in a process called absorption. The electron absorbs the energy and jumps to a higher energy level. In the reverse process, emission, the electron returns to the ground state by releasing the extra energy it absorbed
