Answer: K only has 1 valence electron. It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.
Explanation: A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons. But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell. Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals. Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1. The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level. So it has a valency of 1. This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4). When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1. The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.
The answer is number 2. That releases massive amounts of radiation and by the way, that is how atomic bombs are made to detonate.
Answer:
v = 23.96 cm³
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass = 15.0 g
Density = 0.626 g/cm³
Volume = ?
Solution:
Formula:
D=m/v
D= density
m=mass
V=volume
Now we will put the values in formula:
d = m/v
v = m/d
v = 15 g / 0.626 g/cm³
v = 23.96 cm³
Light moves in a straight line except at surfaces between different transparent materials, where its path bends.
