Answer:

carbon and silicon

Explanation:

Various groups of elements in the periodic table have different outermost shell electron configurations. Actually, elements are classified into groups on the basis of the number of electrons on the outermost shell of those elements. All elements with the same number of electrons on their outermost shell belong to the same group in the periodic table.

For elements in group 14, they all have four electrons on their outermost shell. Their general outer electron configuration is ns2 np2 as shown in the question. Two prominent members of this group are carbon and silicon. This ns2 np2 is the ground state outer electron configuration of all group 14 elements in the periodic table.

On a planet where the temperature is so high, the ground state of an electron in the hydrogen atom is n = 4. What is the ratio o

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

1:16

Explanation:

The ground state of an electron on the planet is n = 4 compared the ground state of an electron at n =1. For a hydrogen atom, the electron energy level is given as:

$E(n)=\frac{13.6}{n^2}\\ \\Where\ n\ is\ the\ ionization \ energy$

$E(4)=\frac{13.6}{4^2}=\frac{13.6}{16}\\ \\E(1)=\frac{13.6}{1^2}=\frac{13.6}{1}\\ \\The\ ratio\ of\ their\ ionization\ energy=\frac{E(4)}{E(1)} =\frac{\frac{13.6}{16} }{\frac{13.6}{1} } =\frac{1}{16}=1:16$

Hence the ratio of their ionization energies is 1:16

PLEASE HELP

Deffense [45]

The answer is A. Isotopes only differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus of their atoms. Otherwise, all other subatomic particles are the same. The isotope with the more neutrons in its nucleus is therefore, heavier (have higher mass number). They share the same chemical properties but have slight physical differences such as boiling points with the heavier element having a slightly higher boiling point that the lighter element.

What is the net charge of C

sashaice [31]

Explanation:

Sorry, I don't know, but I can tell you that when an atom, or a body, has the same amount of positive charges (protons) and negative charges (electrons), it is said to be electrically neutral. ... The net charge corresponds to the algebraic sum of all the charges that a body possesses.
