If two different elements combine separately with a fixed mass of a third element, the ratio of the masses in which they do so are either the same as or a simple multiple of the ratio of the masses in which they combine with each other.
Answer:
Explanation:
N and P will have similarity
Electronic configuration of N
2,5
1s²2s²p⁵
Electronic configuration of P
1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁵
Electronic configuration bears similarity.
Both have 5 electrons in their outermost orbits . So they exhibit similarity in their properties. Both belong to the same 15 th group of periodic table.
Sr and Rb too bear much similarity . Both are strongly electro-positive metal , difference in their atomic no being only one.
H
Since K stands for potassium, C stands for Carbon and O stands for Oxygen
Answer:
.
Explanation:
Based on the electron configuration of this ion, count the number of electrons in this ion in total:
.
Each electron has a charge of 
.
Atoms are neutral and have 
charge. However, when an atom gains one extra electron, it becomes an ion with a charge of . Likewise, when that ion gains another electron, the charge on this ion would become 
.
The ion in this question has a charge of . In other words, this ion is formed after its corresponding atom gains two extra electrons. This ion has 
electrons in total. Therefore, the atom would have initially contained 
electrons. The atomic number of this atom would be 
.
Refer to a modern copy of the periodic table. The element with an atomic number of is sulphur with atomic symbol 
. To denote the ion, place the charge written backwards ("
" for a charge of ) as the superscript of the atomic symbol:
.
