Answer:

Absorption and emission spectra

Explanation:

This is occurs when an atom either absorbs or emits energy when bombarded by a source.

Neils Bohr predicted that electrons moves round in the atom in distinct orbitals according to their energy. An electron in its ground state can become excited if it gains sufficient energy which surpasses that of its ground state configuration. An atom can also move from higher energy levels to lower ones. During the descent, energy is given off in form of emission spectra.

Absorption occurs when electrons in an atom absorbs energy from incoming radiation and they re-radiate it in all directions. This is given off as a spectra and can be observed for such electron.

Atomic size of inert gases do not affect you inertness why

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Because your body has built-in resistance to certain gases, no matter the size of the gas cloud.

That is why we are able to stay non-inert to these types of gases, like Carbon dioxide.

The electronic configuration of an element is given below.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

It is reactive because it has to gain an electron to have a full outermost energy level.

Explanation:

The electron configuration of oxygen is 1s2,2s2 2p4.

Oxygen is in group six in the periodic table so it has six electrons in its valence shell. This means that it needs to gain two electrons to obey the octet rule and have a full outer shell of electrons (eight).

• Draw lewis dot structures for an atom of each of following elements:

marin [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Lewis dot structures represent the symbol of an atom we're looking at and the number of valence electrons it has. This number is represented by the sum of dots around the symbol.

Potassium is in group 1A, this means it only has one valence electron, so we draw K with one dot in its Lewis diagram;
Argon is in group 8A, this means it has eight valence electrons, so we draw Ar with 8 dots around it in its Lewis diagram;
Silicon is in group 4A, this means it has four valence electrons, so we draw Si with 4 dots around it in its Lewis diagram;
Arsenic is in group 5A, this means it has five valence electrons, so we draw As with 5 dots around it in its Lewis diagram.

Those are represented in the image attached below:
