Answer:
D) forms hydronium ions in water
Explanation:
Texture and conductivity are physical properties which makes answer A and B wrong. Answer C does not refer to a chemical reaction.
Electronic Configuration of elements in a period is same because If you see the electronic Configuration of elements in a period you will notice that the valence shell electrons for all elements are present in the same Shell. For example, in first period consisting of Hydrogen and Helium, both the elements' valence electrons are present in the same Shell.
Electronic Configuration of Hydrogen,
1s^1
Electronic Configuration of Helium,
1s^2
Both elements' valance electrons are present in the 1st shell
(This is just a small example to understand the concept because other periods are long but the first period is short that's why I gave the example of the first period)
A polyatomic ion is a group of elements that has a charge that is not 0. for example the charge of P04 is -3
They can decay through one of three ways:
alpha decay
beta decay and
gamma decay
ALPHA- particle with two neutrons and two protons is ejected from the nucleus of the radioactive atom. this particle released is called an alpha particle. Only occurs with heavy metals.
BETA- pretty much when a proton is transformed into a neutron, or vise versa. in a beta minus decay, the nuetron decays into a proton and in a beta plus decay, a proton decays into a neutron
GAMMA- the nucleus changes from a high energy state to a low energy state by releasing electromagnetic radiation (photons). the number of protons and neutrons stay the same during this reaction therefore the element is still the same.
