Answer:
6
Explanation:
This atom is sulfur (if the electrons are equal to the protons/not an ion). You can tell the number of valence electrons by looking at the individual shell. The first shell (1s) can only hold 2 electrons. The second shell (2s and 2p) can hold 8 electrons. The third shell (3s and 3p), which is the valence shell, only has 6 out of its possible 8 electrons, so this atom has 6 valence electrons.
Answer:
Rubidium is used in vacuum tubes as a getter, a material that combines with and removes trace gases from vacuum tubes. It is also used in the manufacture of photocells and in special glasses. Since it is easily ionized, it might be used as a propellant in ion engines on spacecraft.

It is true that substances that have a high melting point and conduct electricity in the liquid phase are ionic substances, and if one of your options is NaCl, then that is the correct answer.
Answer:
Sugar
Explanation:
Defintion of a solute-dissolved in the solvent, sugar dissolves in water and is therefore the solute
Answer:
Ionic compounds have a metal and nonmetal.
Ionic compounds are made up of ions.
Explanation:
You did not provide any formulas for me to correct, but:
- ionic compounds tend to have metals and nonmetals. (EX: NaCl)You can look at the periodic table to see which elements are metals and which are not.
- ionic compounds are made up of ions. Ions are elements that have a charge (Like
or 
). To have a correct ionic compound, make sure that the ions inside of it "cancel" each other out.
EX: Na has a +1 charge. Cl has a -1 charge. When they are paired up, they successfully cancel each other out (become neutral) and become the ionic compound NaCl.
The chart below shows you the charge of each element. Make sure the charge of the elements in an ionic compound "cancel" each other out.
The very last chart shows the metals and nonmetals
