If the substance mixes with water it's polar. If it doesn't it ms non polar.
This element is found in group 3A, period 3
<h3>Further explanation
</h3>
The maximum number of electrons that can be filled in the nth electron shell is 2n²(n=shell)
-
K shell (n = 1) maximum 2 x 1² = 2 electrons
- L shell (n = 2) maximum 2 x 2² = 8 electrons
- M shell (n = 3) maximum 2 x 3² = 18 electrons
- N shell (n = 4) maximum 2 x 4² = 32 electrons
Electron configuration of element X : 2.8.3 , so :
K shell = 2 ⇒1s²
L shell = 8⇒2s²2p⁶
M shell = 3⇒ 3s²3p¹
Block p: group 13-18 (has a 2p-6p configuration), also called a representative element because it includes metals, non-metals and metalloids
The outer shell 3s²3p¹ : located in group 3A and period 3
group⇒valence electron ⇒3
period⇒the greatest value of the quantum number n⇒3
You should make a density trap, you get different liquids with different density's ( corn starch , water , alcohol , syrup) and pour them into a big vase and the different density's will sit on top of each other . the best thing to do is to use food coloring so that each level is a different color.
