Answer : The element is belongs to the group 17 having the seven valence electrons and they will usually form one chemical bonds to another element.

Explanation :

As per given in the question that the element has seven valence electrons that means the seven electrons are present in their outermost energy level or shell.

Form the given information we conclude that, the group number is, 17 (because there are 7 valence electrons in outermost shell).

The elements belongs to group 17 are fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine and they are the halogens.

The general electronic configuration of halogens are, ns^2np^5 that means they have seven valence electrons in their outermost shell and they need only one electrons to complete their octet. So, they will usually form one chemical bonds by accepting one electrons from the other elements.

Hence, the element is belongs to the group 17 having the seven valence electrons and they will usually form one chemical bonds to another element.

Now select a longer period, say the fourth period, starting with the element in the 1A group. Again, go from left to right. What
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The pattern of change in the electron configuration increases from left to right across the period.

Explanation:

In the periodic table, elements having the same number of electrons in the outermost shell of their atoms are placed over one another in vertical columns. Each of the vertical columns is known as a group or family. while each of the resulting horizontal rows is known as a period or row.

There are 18 vertical columns and seven periods in the periodic table. Each period begins with an atom having a valence electron and ends with an atom having a complete outer shell structure of an inert gas.

The fourth period of the periodic table (d-block) consists of the transition elements.

The electron distribution into the energy levels of sublevels of atoms  can be shown in any of the tree important electronic configuration.

Electronic configuration shows the sequence of filling electrons into the orbitals of the sublevels as guided by some principles.

The maximum number of electrons in the orbitals of sublevels are two for s-sublevel(one orbital) ; six for p-sublevel( three orbital); ten for d-sublevel ( five orbitals) and fourteen for f-sublevel( seven orbitals). This indicates that the maximum number of electrons in an orbital is two

In the Periodic table ,The sublevels with lower energies are filled  up before those with higher energies. One important thing about this principle is that the sublevels do not fill up in numerical order. The pattern of filling is as follows:

1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f etc.

Vapor pressure can be described as: A) the temperature at which bubbles of vapor appear in a liquid. B) the pressure exerted on
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by the vapors which are present on the surface of a liquid.

For example, vapor pressure of water at room temperature is 0.0313 atm.

On the other hand, the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals atmospheric pressure is known as boiling point.

For example, boiling point of water at room temperature is 100^{o}C.

Thus, we can conclude that vapor pressure can be described as the pressure exerted by a gas above the surface of its liquid.

Why the bond in water molecule os polar covalent bond, while than in chlorine molecule is pure covalent bond? Give reason? ​
erastovalidia [21]

Explanation:

The unequal sharing of electrons between the atoms and the unsymmetrical shape of the molecule means that a water molecule has two poles - a positive charge on the hydrogen pole (side) and a negative charge on the oxygen pole (side). We say that the water molecule is electrically polar.
