Answer:
Barium has the same number of valence electrons as calcium
Explanation:
Valence electrons is the number of electrons of an atom on the outer shell.
Those valence electrons can participate in the formation of a chemical bond (if the outer shell is not closed); in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.
<u>Calcium</u> is an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons.
<u>Sulfur </u>is part of a group 16, called the chalcogens or oxygen family. Those atoms have 6 valence electrons. They can form a bound with atoms of group 2 such as calcium, but do not have the same number of valence electrons.
<u>Potassium</u> is part of group 1, called the alkali metals or lithium family. Those atoms have 1 valence electrons. That means Potassium do not have the same number of valence electrons like calcium.
<u>Neon</u> is part of group 18, the noble gasses. Those are stable atoms, which means they have 8 valence electrons. They do not have the same number of valence electrons like Calcium.
<u>Barium</u> an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons. Calcium is also part of this group.
This means barium has the same number of valence electrons as Calcium.
Elements in the same group have the same amount of electrons.
Elements in the same period have the same amount of atomic orbits.

Answer:
7.3 × 10¹ m²
Explanation:
The language "product" means that we must multiply the numbers given to get our answer.
9.0 × 10⁻⁴ m × 8.1 × 10⁴ m = 7.3 × 10¹ m²
The significant figures rule for multiplication is that we must us the amount of significant figures in the number with the least significant figures, in this question this is 2 significant digits from both 9.0 × 10⁻⁴ m and 8.1 × 10⁴ m.
Ok so first you need to figure out the energy of ONE photon with that wavelength. Using E=hc/lambda, you get E= 1.99 * 10^-20 J/photon. Now, how many photons do you need to add up to get to one kilojoule=1000 joules? 1000J / (1.99 * 10^-20 J/photon) = approximately 5 * 10^22 photons
hope this helps
