Hydrogen and Oxygen by themselves have 1 and 6 valence electrons, respectively. 8 valence electrons is stable, so the atoms form bonds with each other to achieve 8 valence e-.
1 H atom + 1 H atom + 1 O atom = 8 valence e-
The appropriate answer is a. it involves a change in the molecular structure of the substance. A change in phase or state is referred to as a physical change. For example...liquid water freezing is a physical change because the state changes but solid water is still H20. Separating water into its constituent atoms, hydrogen and oxygen is a chemical change because the molecular structure of water is now non existent.
When alpha decay takes place, two protons and two neutrons are forcefully ejected from the nucleus in a way that looks very similar to a Helium nucleus. This type of decay causes the atomic mass of the parent particle to drop by four (four particles lost), but the atomic number drops by only two (two protons lost). Therefore, your answer is C.
They are also called the noble gases or inert gases. They
are virtually unreactive towards other elements or compounds. They are found in
trace amounts in the atmosphere. Their elemental form at room temperature is
colorless, odorless and monatomic gases. They also have full octet of eight
valence electrons in their highest orbitals so they have a very little tendency
to gain or lose electrons to form ions or share electrons with other elements
in covalent bonds.
Answer:
Australia is correct
Explanation:
Because it is not attached to any other place
