<span>Valence electrons are those in the outer most orbital shell (the valence shell). Elements in the same column (group) have the same number of valence electrons. Hydrogen is in Group 1. If you were to look at a periodic table of the elements, Lithium is right under Hydrogen.
You are correct, the answer is D. Lithium.</span>

Answer:
No
Explanation:
Chemical equilibrium is reached by the forward reaction rate equaling the reverse reaction rate. If the reaction is not reversible, this could not occur.
Answer:
Sulfur: -1
Carbon: 0
Nitrogen: 0
Explanation:
The thiocyanate ion SCN- can have only two resonance structures, which are:
S - C ≡ N <--------> S = C = N
In the first structure, we have one single bond and one triple bond, in this case, the negative charge is located in the sulfur. This is because Sulfur have 6 electrons and those electrons are present in the atom, (see picture below), and counting the electron that is sharing with the Carbon, the total electrons that sulfur has is 7 (It has one more than usual). Carbon and nitrogen are already stable with 0 of formal charge, because carbon can only have 4 electrons which 1 is sharing with sulfur and the other 3 with the nitrogen, and nitrogen have 5 electrons, three sharing with carbon and the other two kept it for itself.
In the second structure, the negative charge of the sulfur is transfered to the nitrogen, meaning that it has 6 electrons the nitrogen (formal charge -1) and carbon and sulfur with 4 and 6 electrons respectively.
Between these two structures, the most stable is the first one basically because Sulfur is a better nucleophile than the Nitrogen, and can form stronger hydrogen bond in acid, giving more stable structure.
Answer:
Number of Protons 48
Number of Neutrons 64
Number of Electrons 48
Explanation:
The mass number of an atom is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of that atom
