Answer: b- it is always a substance
Explanation: matter can be any liquid, gas, or solid that takes up space so the answer cannot be C or D. For answer number A to be true, you would have to remove the word more, because matter just has mass and takes up space it does not have "more mass"
Silicon has 14 protons Potassium has 19 electrons The neutrons are equal to the mass number minus the atomic number. Or the big number minus the small number on the periodic table. hydrogen 1 does not have a neutron.
iron =56 -26 for 30 neutrons in the nucleus
Chlorine 17 protons and 17 electrons. 18 or 19 neutrons on average.
Answer:
sublimation
Explanation:
immediately into a gas when thermal energy is added to it. The process is called sublimation. Sublimation is the change of state from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid state.
The options
Select one:
a. a 3- ion forms.
b. the noble gas configuration of argon is achieved.
c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.
d. the atom gains five electrons.
Answer:
c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.
Explanation:
Aluminium atom has atomic number of 13 , hence the number of electron is 13 for a neutral atom of aluminium. When aluminium atom reacts with other elements it usually gives out three electron to attain the octet configuration.
The cation representation of aluminium is Al3+ because it has loss three electron to attain the octet rule. Aluminium will be left with 10 electrons after losing 3 of it electrons. The electronic configuration will be represented as follows after losing three electrons;
1S² 2S² 2P∧6 .
At this stage the octet rule has been achieved as it will be represented as
2 8. The first energy shell now contains two electron and the second energy shell contains 8 electrons.
The configuration of Neon has been formed in the process.
