Answer:
The correct option is;
Group 12
Explanation:
A metallic element that is shiny and silver colored that can exist in the +1 and +2 ionic states and which forms a bright red compound with sulfur is mercury, Hg
The compound formed between mercury and silver is one of the earliest synthetic compound also known as vermilion and cinnabar. The bright red pigment of the HgS is used widely and is one of the most favorite pigment found in medieval European outstanding works of arts and in Chinese decorated wares made of lacquer as well as in mesoAmerica.
Answer: It loses electrons to another element.
Explanation:- Oxidation is the process in which an element loses electrons and there is an increase in the oxidation state. On losing electrons it combines with a electronegative element such as oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen etc.
Reduction is the process in which an element gains electrons and there is a decrease in the oxidation state.
Answer:
From Top to Bottom:
- Democritus coming up with the concept of an atom
- Dalton discovering that atoms are the smallest part of an element
- Rutherford discovering the nucleus of an atom
- Thomson discovering electrons
- Bohr modeling electrons orbiting the nucleus
- Schrodinger modeling electrons in the electron cloud
Explanation:
The best way to think about this is from the inside out. Democrats (who lived long before any of the other scientists mentioned) was the one who thought of the idea of the atom. - Therefore, this must be first because all other choices are elaborations on the idea that atoms exist. Next must be Dalton. Dalton saw atoms as "cannonballs" if you will; a solid mass. So then after that, Rutherford and his gold foil experiment (he discovered that some rays he shot through gold foil were deflected back; ie the existence of concentrated areas in an atom, ie the nucleus). Then we get into the information on electrons. We must start with discovery (Thomson). Heres where it gets complicated. Electrons don't <em>actually </em>orbit the nucleus, they exist in electron clouds. So it would be Bohr, who came up with the idea that electron exist outside the nucleus, then Schrodinger, who elaborated on Bohr's theory. Hope this helps!

An Insulator.
Insulators prevent flow of electric current. Example is wood, clay.
