Answer:
1
Explanation:
For non metals to attain a noble gas configuration, they gain the number of electrons needed to attain the noble gas configuration of the noble gas at the end of their periods. This means that these non metals would only take up the configuration of the last element on their periods which of course is always a noble gas.
The last element on the hydrogen period or more conservatively the only other element on the hydrogen period is helium, with an atomic number of 2. The atomic number is the number of protons in he nucleus of an atom. For an electrically neutral atom, the number of electrons equal the number of protons.
Hence we can deduce that helium has 2 electrons while hydrogen has one electron. Thus for it to attain the configuration of helium, it just needs to gain one more electron
Answer:
B. Alpha
Explanation:
Alpha decays always split into an element and He.
Beta decays always split into an element and e- (eletrons).
Gamma decays always split into an element and radiation.
For example we are going to use this unbalanced chemical reaction:
H₂ + O₂ → H₂O.
First, calculate number of atoms (hydrogens and oxygens) on left and right. There is two oxygen and two hydrogen on left and two hydrogen and one oxygen on right.
You can not change molecular formula of compound, only you can put coefficient in fron of compound to balance reaction.
Put 2 in front water to balance oxygen (now you have two oxygens on left and right). But now you have four hydrogens on right, so you must put 2 in fron hydrogen on the left.
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.
