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.

hydrogen decomposes quickly when exposed to light. the reaction for decomposing hydrogen peroxide is:
Svet_ta [14]

The decomposition reaction for hydrogen peroxide is given below:

                                     2H_{2} O_{2} → 2H_{2} O + O_{2}

This is a decomposition reaction.

Reactions in which a reactant breaks into two or more products are known as Decomposition reactions.

                                          AB → A + B

here, AB represents the reactant that begins the reaction, and A and B represent the products of the reaction

The decomposition reaction of decomposing hydrogen peroxide is exothermic. When the hydrogen peroxide undergoes a decomposition reaction, heat is also released along with water and oxygen.

Hence the  reaction for decomposing hydrogen peroxide is :

         2H_{2} O_{2} → 2H_{2} O + O_{2}

An analysis of a sugar compound is found to contain 132 grams of carbon (C), 22 grams of hydrogen (H), and 176 grams of oxygen (
ddd [48]
132 g of C  ,   22 g of H   , 176 g of O

132 + 22 + 176 => 330 g <span>of the substance

</span>Now convert the masses in <span>moles :
</span>
C = 12.0 u        H = 1.0 u       O = 16.0 u

C = 132 / 12.0 => 11 moles

H = 22 / 1.0 => 22 moles

O = 176 / 16.0 => 11 moles

Using the values obtained the lowest proportion in mols of elements present, simply divide the values found for the least of them<span>:
</span>
C = 11 / 11 => 1

H = 22 / 11 => 2

O = 11 / 11 => 1

 formula empirically <span>is : CH</span>₂O
