Answer:
4
Explanation:
Carbon configuration- 2,4
Valence electrons means the outershell electrons
That means valence electrons=4
Remark
The given thing on the right is a positron. The mass for these subatomic particles is considered to be 0. It's atomic number is 1 which means it is a blood relative of a proton.
So essentially what happens is that X is one space to the left on the periodic table. But let's solve this a little bit more formally.
Solution

y stays the same at 147. It is z that changes.
65 = z + 1 Subtract 1 from both sides.
64 = z
So the chemical with 64 as its position on the periodic table is
Gadolinium and the answer is C
Answer:
C. number of particles
Explanation:
Entropy is the measure of disorderliness of a system. Remember that when you dissolve salt in water, you increase the number of particles in the solution. The greater the number of particles in solution, the greater the entropy of the solution system.
Hence dissolution of a salt in water increases the entropy by increasing the number of particles in solution leading to the inequality; Ssolution > Swater + Ssalt.
Covalent compounds are compounds that share electrons. They tend to have properties like lower melting points and lower conductivity.
