Answer:
Measuring its density and comparing your result to a list of known densities, or other properties that give you useful info
Explanation:
You can use observations about substances to form a hypothesis about the substance by comparing it to others. Ex: if something is magnetic it must be made of one or more of the elements iron, cobalt, or nickel.
Explanation:
use the term electron sheilding, the more electrons between the valence el3ctron and nucleus the easier to lose the valence electron (more sheilding = easier to lose)
the fire spreading is what represents the form of heat transferring from one atom to another within an object and direct contact
Answer:
Charge= -2.
Gains two electron into the 4p^4 to become 4p^6.
Explanation:
The element in the periodic table/chart that matches with the valence electron configuration is Selenium with full electron configuration of [Ar] 3d^10 4s^2 4P^4 which is a non-metal that is found in group 4 of the periodic table/chart.
Selenium can receive 2 more electrons on the 4p^4 to give a -2(minus 2) ion that is Se^2-.
Selenium can also loose 2 electron from 4s^2 to give a +2 ion that is Se^2+.
Selenium can also loose 2 electrons from 4s^2 and 2 electrons from 4p^4 to form Se^4+.
Selenium can also loose 2 electrons from 4s^2 and 4 electrons from 4p^4 to form Se^6+.
Thus, in order to form a monatomic ion with a charge(we will be making use of the most stable one). Thus, it will gain two more electron since this is easier to become 4s^2 4p^6.
