True The positive electric charge of a proton is equal in magnitude to the negative charge of an electron; therefore, the net electric charge of an ion is equal to its number of protons minus its number of electrons. Ions are highly reactive species.
there is no conversion between the two due to one is time and one is weight
Answer:
Elements in the same period have same number of electronic shell and electron is increased by one in every coming element with in same electronic shell.
Explanation:
Consider the second period of periodic table. This period consist of eight elements lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon.
Electronic configuration of lithium:
Li₃ = [He] 2s¹
Electronic configuration of beryllium:
Be₄ = [He] 2s²
Electronic configuration of boron:
B₅ = [He] 2s² 2p¹
Electronic configuration of carbon:
C₆ = [He] 2s² 2p²
Electronic configuration of nitrogen:
N₇ = [He] 2s² 2p³
Electronic configuration of oxygen:
O₈ = [He] 2s² 2p⁴
Electronic configuration of fluorine:
F₉ = [He] 2s² 2p⁵
Electronic configuration of neon:
Ne₁₀ = [He] 2s² 2p⁶
All these elements present in same period having same electronic shell and number of electron increased by 1.
Argon is a suitable choice for light bulbs because it is inert. Compared to a reactive gas like oxygen, the metal filimant would burn up in a reactive environment, which is why a noble gas is used.
