Answer:

8

Explanation:

The atomic mass of an atom refers to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Hence, an element with 6 valence electron mean that it has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.

The atomic Number of elements with 6 valence electrons cannot necessarily be the same, however, elements with 6 valence electrons belong to group six on the periodic table.

From the options given above, :

Atomic number of 8 :

Configuration : 2, 6

Atomic number of 10 :

Configuration : 2, 8

Atomic number of 12 :

Configuration : 2, 8, 2

Hence, only the element with atomic number of 8 has 6 valence electrons in its outer most shell, hence, the answer.

Carl walked 12m north then turned around and walked back 4m south. What was his
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Distance: 16m Displacement: 8m North

Explanation:

Total distance is the total amount traveled, regardless of direction. So, you would just add 12 and 4 to get a total distance of 16m. Displacement is the distance/direction from the start to the end point, regardless of which way you got there. So, to find displacement, you just subtract:

12m North - 4m South = 8m North
