<h2>Changes Occurs when a Barium Atom - Option 3 </h2>
When a barium atom loses two electrons it becomes a positive ion and its radius decreases. Barium (Ba) has atomic number 56 so it has 2 electrons in first shell of an atom to become stable according to duplet rule. Then other 52 electrons revolve in the shells according to octet rules.
Another 2 electrons are in the outermost shell. To become stable electrons lose to form barium ions (Ba+2). Hence, by losing 2 electrons the outermost shell will be diminished so its radius decreases and by losing electrons it becomes positive ions.
Answer:
The difference in the absorbance of the sample and reference is too small at A = 0.05.3. If the absorbance is too high (A = 2.5),
