Explanation:

Metals and non-metals can be identified either by their position in the periodic table or by their properties.

he metal elements are found on the left hand side of the periodic table, and the non-metal elements are found on the right. You can imagine a zig-zag line, starting at B-Al-Si, separating metals from non-metals.

The atomic number is determined only by the number of ________ in the nucleus of an atom. But, in a neutral atom it also represe
sveticcg [70]

Hello!

The atomic number is determined only by the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. But, in a neutral atom it also represents the number of electrons in the electron cloud.


Neutrons are only important in the nucleus for helping us find atomic weight, which varies as we move along the perodic table and does not always equal the same amount of it's atomic number. Which is why it would not be a suitable answer for the first blank space. Electrons do not work either as they do not exist inside the nucleus but rather outside the atom.

The second space, since it states is in the electron cloud, we can deduct that electrons would be an appropriate answer there.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask, but I hope this answers your question.

  • Bleach

Turn paper Red - these substances are acidic in nature.

  • Lemon Juice
  • Vinegar
  • Cola drink

b. i. A wasp sting - Lemon juice

ii. A bee sting - Toothpaste

iii. A wasp sting is alkaline which means that running an acidic substance like lemon or lemon juice on it should neutralize it.

A bee sting is acidic so an alkaline substance such as toothpaste should neutralize it as well.

An atom has the following electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4 . How many valence electrons does this Atom have
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

This atom is sulfur (if the electrons are equal to the protons/not an ion). You can tell the number of valence electrons by looking at the individual shell. The first shell (1s) can only hold 2 electrons. The second shell (2s and 2p) can hold 8 electrons. The third shell (3s and 3p), which is the valence shell, only has 6 out of its possible 8 electrons, so this atom has 6 valence electrons.
