B. They may be gases, liquids, or solids at room temp.
<span><span>When you write down the electronic configuration of bromine and sodium, you get this
Na:
Br: </span></span>
<span><span />So here we the know the valence electrons for each;</span>
<span><span>Na: (2e)
Br: (7e, you don't count for the d orbitals)
Then, once you know this, you can deduce how many bonds each can do and you discover that bromine can do one bond since he has one electron missing in his p orbital, but that weirdly, since the s orbital of sodium is full and thus, should not make any bond.
However, it is possible for sodium to come in an excited state in wich he will have sent one of its electrons on an higher shell to have this valence configuration:</span></span>
<span><span /></span><span><span>
</span>where here now it has two lonely valence electrons, one on the s and the other on the p, so that it can do a total of two bonds.</span><span>That's why bromine and sodium can form </span>

Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1) Find the z-scores:</u>
a) z-score for 22.6 inches length
- z = [ 22.6 - 20 ] / 2.6 = 1.00
b) z-score for 17.4 inches length
- z = [ 17.4 - 20 ] / 2.6 = - 1.00
<u>2) Probability</u>
Then, you have to find the probability that the length of an infant is between - 1.00 and 1.00 standards deviations (σ) from the mean (μ).
That is a well known value of 68%, which is part of the 68-95-99.7 empirical rule.
The most exact result is obtained from tables and is 68.26%:
- 1 - P (z ≥ 1.00) - P (z ≤ - 1.00) = 1 - 0.1587 - 0.1587 = 0.6826 = 68.26%
The sand provides a rough surface on top of the ice for the cars' tires to grip onto. It provides more friction. Salt melts the ice and often provides more friction (the disadvantage is that it eats concrete!).
