Atoms of oxygen have a total of 8 electrons. Are these atoms stable, and why or why not? a.) Yes, because the Octet Rule says st

able atoms have 8 electrons. b.) No, because only atoms with 2 valence electrons are stable. c.) Yes, because oxygen is in the air we breathe and it doesn�t hurt us. d.) No, because the atoms have only 6 valence electrons, but need 8 for stability.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

It is because the object that is charged attracts the uncharged because it is giving electrons and passing it on to the object. As shown in the image the balloon is attracting the paper that is not charged. Actually telling,the charged object will cause the uncharged object to become charged, with a positive charge on one side and a negative charge on the other side. This process is called induction.

Light shining on a strip of metal can dislodge electrons. Do you think this is more consistent with light being made up of waves
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "Particles".

Explanation:

  • A particle seems to be a little component of something, it's little. When you're talking about a subatomic particle, that would be a structured user likely won't see because it's quite unbelievably thin, but it has a tiny mass as well as structural integrity. Such particles seem to be tinier than that of the particles or atoms.
  • Such that the light which shines on the bit of metal could dissipate electrons, the particles seem to be more compatible with the light.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Erosion is the washing away of the uppermost part of the earth crust. Once erosion starts it only gets worse because, erosion wash away further soil, causing the eroding channel to futher expand, increasing the erosion.

Lack of vegetative cover allows erosion which washes away soil nutrients, further worsening the soil against soil vegetative cover.

Atoms of which two elements have a combined total of 23 protons?
Alik [6]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Sodium has 11 electrons and Magnesium has 12 electrons. Since here you need to consider atoms, they must have equal amount of protons as electrons to be considered neutral, and so an atom.

So simply 11+12 =23
