Answer:
Krypton
Explanation:
When Selenium forms an ion, it is trying to become krypton which is a noble gas.
Selenium belongs to the oxygen group on the periodic table. In this group, the atoms prefers to gain two electrons to complete their octet. When selenium gains two electrons, its octet is complete.
This will make the atom resemble krypton on the periodic table of elements.
This structure which is an octet confers a special stability on the element.
The correct answer is A.
B is incorrect because that only applies to nuclear fission.
C is incorrect because it only applies to nuclear fusion.
D is incorrect because energy can be neither created nor destroyed meaning that this statement is physically impossible,
Answer:
The structures shown by dots and lines to give the exact number of electrons in the outer most shell is explained by Lewis Structures.
Explanation:
Lewis structures are those structures in which the diagram is shown using the electron representation. They are easy to understand as the diagram completely depicts where the electrons are shared and where they are transferred. The diagram also explains where there is a single bond and where there is a di covalent bond or tri covalent bond explaining where the single , double or triple electron pair is shared. The electrons are shown by dots or lines.
For example CCl₄ can be shown as follows
..
.. Cl..
.. ..
..Cl..----------C----------..Cl..
..
.. Cl..
The picture shows that each chlorine has six electrons in its outer shell and then a pair of electron is shared with carbon forming a single covalent bond.
Similarly methane CH4 can also be shown.
The hydrogen has one electron and it shares an electron from carbon stabilising itself forming methane.
Answer:
Melting butter
Explanation:
You can reverse the change of butter back to its original state but you can never reverse the rest back to there original state
Thermal energy is the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of all the particles in an object. The figure shows that if either potential or kinetic energy increases, thermal energy increases.
