If they are in the same row they have the same number of outer electrons on the same main shell also known as valence electrons
if they are in the same column they have the same number of valence electrons but on different main shells
Argon is a suitable choice for light bulbs because it is inert. Compared to a reactive gas like oxygen, the metal filimant would burn up in a reactive environment, which is why a noble gas is used.
Particles of the substance have the most kinetic energy when the substance is(a)1. A gas. The part of the graph that represents where the substance has the least amount of potential energy is labeled(b)1. Solid.
Gas molecules have the highest average velocities among the three states of matter so gas has the highest kinetic energy. During freezing, a substance loses a lot of potential energy so solid has the least potential energy.
<span>Cations mix with anions, so you know NH4+ won't mix with K+ and SO4(2-) won't miix with F-. For the reason that NH4+ and F- together have single charges, they'll mix in a 1:1 ratio, NH4F. There's two charges on SO4(2-), so it'll need two K+ to mix with, K2SO4.</span>
