Hm, this could be more than one option, but gaining electrons makes a negative charge, so

If atoms of a halogen nonmetal (Group 17) gains one electron, the atoms the have "a negative one charge".

Answer : If atoms of a halogen nonmetal (Group 17) gains one electron, the atoms the have (-1) (or, negative) change.

Explanation :

Periods : A row in the periodic table is known as periods.

The common features about the elements of a period are :

Each periods has elements with the same number of electron shells or energy levels or shell.

They transition from metal to noble gas that means they move from metal to non-metal and then non-metal to noble gas.

Groups : A column in the periodic table is known as groups.

The common features about the elements of a same group are :

Each groups has elements with the same number of valance electrons.

The elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.

The elements in the same group have similar physical properties.

The group 17 is a non-metal and known as halogen. The number of valance electrons present in group 17 are 7 valence electrons.

The general electronic configuration of group 17 is:

ns^2np^5

As per question, when atoms of halogen gains one electron then the  atoms have (-1) (or, negative) charge and attain stable electronic configuration as noble gas.

For example : The element chlorine belongs to group 17 and the electronic configuration is:

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

When chlorine atom gain one electron then the chlorine atom have (-1) charge Cl^-.

The characteristic flame test colors of metal ions are due to atomic emission spectra. Duscuss the relationship between the abso
vesna_86 [32]

The characteristics flame test color of metal ions are because of the atomic emission spectra.  

When an atom absorbs a particular wavelength radiation, the electrons within it, move from lower energy level to the higher level of energy. Such a procedure is called absorption. When this stimulated electron to come back to its ground state, it loses energy in particular color on the basis of the frequency of the absorbed radiation. Such a procedure is called emission.  

As an atom exhibit, distinct levels of energy, the level close to the nucleus possess less energy in comparison to the level, which is far from the nucleus. So, electrons move from lower energy level to the higher level by attaining particular energy, and after excitation, it comes back from high energy level to a low energy level with the emission of light.  

According to Planck's concept, there is a specific difference of energy between the two energy level, so such energy difference is quantized. Only those radiation are absorbed, which are equivalent to the difference of energy between the two levels.

A log has a density of .8 g/cm³. What will happen to this log in freshwater, which has a density of 1.0 g/cm³?
Inga [223]

Answer:

The log will float on the water because its density is lower than the liquid, so it will stay at the top due to Archimedes' principle.
