In which of the following atoms are valence electrons in the lowest average potential energy states?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andrej [43]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C) F

Explanation:

Valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom and have the highest energy level of an atom whereas electrons at ground state or lower orbitals have less potential energy.

This is so because <u>orbitals nearby nucleus are strongly bonded with the atomic nucleus and have less energy than an outermost shell.</u>

So, the potential energy states of an atom depend on the number of orbitals. In the given options fluorine with atomic number 9 has less number of orbitals that is 2 orbitals and valence electrons will be present in second orbitals, so fluorine will have the lowest average potential energy states.

Hence, the correct option is "C) F".

A human body, just like a dog's, will sweat. Dogs will pants and sweat through the pads of their feet to cool down, and human will sweat through their foreheads, armpits, etc.
Dogs will tend to, in hot environments, lay on the floor or where the surface is cooler. Since they cannot simply strip their clothing to keep cool they tend to find cool surfaces, fans, sources of air, etc. to keep cool from the heat.

Compare and contrast epithelial and muscle.
jekas [21]

Answer:

Epithelial tissues act as coverings, controlling the movement of materials across their surface. Connective tissue binds the various parts of the body together, providing support and protection. Muscle tissue allows the body to move and nervous tissues functions in communication.
