Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an atom or element gains an electron then the atom acquires a negative charge whereas when an atom or element loses an electron then it acquires a positive charge.

for example, atomic number of fluorine is 9 and when it gains one electron then fluorine atom acquires a negative charge. Hence, neutral atom of fluorine changes into $F^{-1}$ ion.

Thus, we can conclude that $F^{-1}$ ion is formed when an atom of fluorine (F) gains one electron.

If a tube contains 2.0oz of sunscreen, how many kilograms of benzyl salicylate are needed to manufacture 325 tubes of sunscreen

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Now it is given here that there are 325 tubes that are manufactured for sunscreen. And we also know that the percentage of sunscreen in benzyl salicylate is 2.5% here in one tube we have 2 Oz of sunscreen.

Explanation:

So sunscreen in 325 tubes will be 2 x 325= 650 Oz. Since we know the amount of sunscreen in 325 tubes the amount of Benzyl salicylate in all 325 tubes will be 650 x 0.025 = 16.25 Oz

Now this can be converted into kg as 0.46 kg.

How does the shape of the periodic table relate to electron configuration?

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The answer is rather simple, if you understand electron configurations: the shape of the periodic table mimics the filling of the subshells with electrons. The shape of the periodic table mimics the filling of the subshells with electrons. ... The next two electrons, for Li and Be, would go into the 2s subshell.
