What are valence electrons?

Biology
2 answers:
Ksivusya [100]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The simple answer is the electrons in the outermost energy level.

Hydrogen has 1 electron in the outermost energy level.

Magnesium has 2 so this tells you that magnesium has a charge of 2

Oxygen has 6  oxygen has a charge of - 2

Fluorine has 7

For most elements, the electrons in the most outer ring determine the valence of the element.

Notice that the non metals work differently than the metals. Mg may have a charge of 2 and that is the number of electrons in the valence right.

Oxygen is a non metal it has a charge of - 2. It gets 6 electrons by subtracting the number of its charge from 8.

Explanation:

There are a lot of materials which are used to neutralize the acidity of soil.some examples of such materials are slacked lime, quick lime, and liquid lime etc. Lime increases the PH and the concentration of calcium which helps in removal of phosphate from water. Raising PH also cause to remove the carbon dioxide from the water. But keep in mind that rapid increase in PH is harmful for the fishes.calcium oxide also causes the rapid increase in Ph therefore, it is not advisable to use in fishpond.
