Answer:
See the images below
Step-by-step explanation:
To draw a dot diagram of an atom, you locate the element in the Periodic Table and figure out how many valence electrons it has. Then you distribute the electrons as dots around the atom,
a. Silicon.
Si is in Group 14, so it has four valence electrons.
b. Xenon
Xenon is in Group 18, so it has eight valence electrons. We group them as four pairs around the xenon atom.
c. Calcium
Calcium is in Group 2, so it has two valence electrons. They are in a single subshell, so we write them as a pair on the calcium atom.
d. Water
Oxygen is in Group 16, so it has six valence electrons. The hydrogen atoms each contribute one electron, so there are eight valence electrons.
Chemists often use a dash to represent a pair of electrons in a bond.
Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter present, for example, the mass of gold. Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of matter present, for example, the density of gold. Heat is an example of an extensive property, and temperature is an example of an intensive property.
Answer:
the atomic number is 5
the atomic mass is 11
Explanation:
The atomic number is the amount of protons inside the nucleus, and this number also equals the amount of electrons. Since it shows you the nucleus and the electrons, all you need to do is count the protons (positive charge inside the nucleus) or count all the electrons (negative charge outside the nucleus, in the rings) and you should have your atomic number.
As for mass, all you need to do is count all the protons and neutrons inside the nucleus and add them up. Protons = 5, Neutrons = 6. (you add them since the equation for atomic mass is Atomic Mass = Protons + neutrons. This works every time)
5+6= 11, so your atomic mass is 11
I hope this helps :)
Answer:
Explained below
Explanation:
Metalloids are elements that possess properties between that of metals and non - metals or that have properties that a re a combination of those of metals and non - metals. Whereas a metal is one that conducts electricity and heat very well.
Now, the property they both share is that they both possess valence orbitals which are highly de-localized over macroscopic volumes, thereby allowing both of them to be conductors of electricity although it has to be said that Metalloids don't conduct electricity as much as metals.
