Answer:

Protons: 2.

Electrons: 2.

Neutrons: 2.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since an atom's atomic number is equal to the number of electrons, considering the electron configurations, taking into account that helium-4 is neither positively nor negatively charged, we can infer that the number of electrons equal the number of protons, which in this case are 2, due to the fact that is atomic number is 2.

Moreover, as helium-4's atomic number is 4 as a whole number, we compute the number of neutrons by using the shown below equation:

$Neutrons=mass\ number-atomic\ number\\\\Neutrons=4-2\\\\Neutrons=2$

Regards.

If ice is warmed and becomes a liquid, which type of process is it?

ser-zykov [4K]

If ice is warmed and becomes a liquid, the process is endothermic.

The process requires heat in order to proceed. If ice stays in a very cold place, it will not melt unless it's heated. If ice is placed outside where it melts on its own, it gets the heat from the surroundings.

Tollens’ test, also known as silver-mirror test, is a qualitative laboratory test used to distinguish between an aldehyde and a

Makovka662 [10]

Explanation:

Tollens' reagent is prepared by using two-step process : -

Step 1:

Silver oxide is formed by mixing aqueous silver nitrate with base like sodium hydroxide. The reaction is shown below as:

$AgNO_3 + NaOH &\rightarrow AgOH + NHO_3 \nonumber \\ 2AgOH &\rightarrow Ag_2O + H_2O$

Step 2

Ammonia solution is drop-wise added until all the silver oxide dissolves to form the reagent. The reaction is shown below as:

$Ag_2O + 4NH_3 + H_2O \rightarrow 2Ag(NH_3)_2^+ + 2OH^-$

leva [86]

Answer:

A) carbon - 2

B) cobalt - 3

C) sulfur - 2

D) fluorine - 1

E) titanium - 2

F) germanium - 2

Explanation:

Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:-

Firstly, every orbital which is present in the sublevel is singly occupied and then the orbital is doubly occupied.

(A) Carbon.
