Answer:

c) selenium

Explanation:

Selenium is present in group sixteen.

It has six valance electrons.

Its atomic number is 34.

Atomic mass of selenium is 78.96 amu.

Electronic configuration pf selenium:

Se₃₄ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁴

we can see there are six valance electrons are present in selenium (4s² 4p⁴).

Valance electrons are those electrons which are present in outer most  electronic shell.

Other options are incorrect because,

There are  4 valance electrons in carbon.

2 valance electrons of barium.

one valance electron of lithium.

Mendeleev put elements in groups while creating the periodic table. What important role do groups play in the structure of the p
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Groups show similar chemical properties about the elements

Explanation:

The periodic table is divided into groups and periods. Groups are vertical while periods are horizontal.

All elements in the same group possess the same number of outermost shell electrons. This number of outermost shell electrons controls the reactivity of the elements in the group.

Hence, groups show similar chemical properties of the elements in them, Groups separate elements into families which assist in the speedy study of elements.

Can any of you guys help me with this. Can y’all give me some facts about nucleus protons netrons and electrons :)
Mumz [18]

Answer:

the nucleus is the center of the atom, made up of protons and neutrons, without the nucleus you'd just have a bunch of electrons floating around; the nucleus is positively charged

protons are the positively charged particles that sit within the nucleus

neutrons are particles of no charge that sit within the nucleus, and because they have no charge, they do not cancel out the positive charge of the protons, making the nucleus positive

electrons are negatively charged particles that float around the nucleus in an area known as the electron cloud, they orbit around the nucleus because they are attracted to the positive charge of the nucleus (caused by the protons), with charges, opposites attract
