Answer:
The nucleus is a collection of particles called protons, which are positively charged, and neutrons, which are electrically neutral. Protons and neutrons are in turn made up of particles called quarks. The chemical element of an atom is determined by the number of protons, or the atomic number, Z, of the nucleus.
The best answer between the two choices would be the first option TRUE because the scientific method is used to do more advance research and investigation on things.
Answer:
that's because....
group 1 (e.g Na, K) those tend to lose one electron to gain noble gas electron configuration.
they can achieve that by just losing one electron from their outer shell.
as you go down the group 1, element gets bigger in size, which means there is more space between nucleus (which is in center of atom) and electron of outer shell. the more far away they are the less attraction force between them.
so its easier for potassuim to lose one electron than for lithuim.
so that means potassium will easily give up 1 electron to react with non metal or other element therefore it is more reactive than lithuim
but in case of non metal, the opposite happens but simple to understand.
as you go down the group 7 (halogen- Cl, Br, I) element will get bigger therefore force between nucleus and outer electron is getting smaller. they have to gain 1 electron in order to fill the outer shell (to gain noble gas electron configuration.)
as florine is more smaller in size than clorine it is more reactive because florine has more tendency to pull extra electron from metal or other element towards its side. so it easily gain 1 electron to react.
I’m pretty sure the answer is D :)
