All are true except the statement that ions are formed by changing the number protons in an atom’s nucleus.

A neutral atom contains the same number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge).

If there are more electrons than protons, the atom becomes a negative ion.

If there are fewer electrons than protons, the atom becomes a positive ion.

The protons are in the nucleus, where we can’t easily get at them. The electrons are outside the nucleus, so other chemicals can easily get at them and either remove them or add to their number.

Metals have only a few valence electrons, so it is fairly easy to remove them and form positive ions.

Why is there not a corresponding drop in ionization energies between Bi and Po in the sixth period as N and O?

Stels [109]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to the Journal of Chemical Education, Volume 80, No.8 (2003); "The first ionization energy of bismuth appears to be anomalous......It has been claimed that spin– orbit coupling by the Russell–Saunders scheme would lower the ground state of Bi+ ..."

However, the involvement of d and f orbitals in Bi and Po implies that the outermost orbitals are poorly screened hence the drop between nitrogen and oxygen is not observed between Bi and Po.

The same argument could be extended to explain the reason why there not a corresponding drop between Ba and Tl is the sixth period even though they are in the same group as Be and B.

a substance did not change its chemical nature in a reaction. which most likely describes the reaction

Mkey [24]

This substance most likely is an inert. It is a substance that is not chemically reactive. It does not change its chemical nature in a reaction. It does not easily react with other chemicals. Most of the group 8 gases in the periodic table are classified as inert, due to their having full outer electron shells.

Rocks and sand are nonliving .all organisms are

solong [7]

Hey there!

Rocks and sand are nonliving. All organisms are living.
Living organisms have five characteristics. Living organisms respond to a stimulus, need energy, grow, reproduce, and get rid of wastes. All living organisms consist of cells.

Hope this helps! Have a Brainly day! :D
