Answer:

The correct answer to this is Mg.

Explanation:

Mg is the second element at the Periodic Table, down Be. As its the oxidation number is 2, it can release two electrons to form compounds. Not like C that is tetravalent, or Na that is a monovalent element (1e-). Si, as C has 4 oxidation states, and phosphorus can lose or get 3 e- (for example PCl3), also get 5e- (for example  P2O5)

which of the following correctly identifies the composition of an oxygen atom? A.8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons. B.6 pro
Ulleksa [173]
<span>You can answer this question by getting the atomic number and atomic mass of Oxygen from a periodic table. There you will find that the atomic number is 8, that means, by definition, that it has 8 protons. This is, because atomic number is defined as the number of protons of an element. Given that the atom is neutral, that implies that the atoms have the same number of electrons than protons. So you already know that the oxygen atoms has 8 protons and 8 electrons. The number of neutrons can vary, which is what defines the isotopes. Given that the atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999, that means that most atoms of oxygen has 8 neutrons (8 protons +8 neutrons = 16 atomic mass). But you can not be sure that a specific atom of oxygen has 8 neutrons, nevertheless, given that the other options are discarded (because they do not have 8 protons and 8 electrons), the only correct answer is the option A. 8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons.</span>

Which statement accurately describes a potential danger of radiation?
dsp73

Answer:

Even small amounts of radiation over a prolonged period of time can be dangerous.

Explanation:

We all get exposed to radiation, such as through x-rays, and it's fine as one off experiences. However, if you're constantly dealing with radiation without any sort of protection, no matter how small the amount is, it could potentially lead to consequences like cancer. This is due to the fact that radiation can alter our genes
