The atomic number of Li is 3
Electron configuration of Li : 1s² 2s¹
The atomic number of Na is 11
Electron configuration of Na : 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹
Thus there is one electron in the valence shell of Li (2s¹) and that of Na (3s¹). However, the valence electron in Na is in a shell that is farther away from the nucleus compared to that of Li. As a result, the Na valence electron will be held less tightly by the nucleus i.e. it will experience a reduced nuclear attraction and can be removed easily than the Li 2s electron.
2. 3H2 + N2 means you have 6 Hs and 2 Ns. NH3 has one N and 3 Hs, so you need 2 NH3s in order to have the 2 and 6 of each that you need on both sides of the reaction.
True. Ions can have a positive or negative charge.
Answer:
6 electrons
Explanation:
The p orbital can hold up to six electrons. We'll put six in the 2p orbital and then put the next two electrons in the 3s.
Answer:
You may be referring to the gas that makes up 21% of the earth's atmosphere, which is oxygen.
Explanation:
According to NASA, the gases in Earth's atmosphere include:
Nitrogen — 78 percent
Oxygen — 21 percent
Argon — 0.93 percent
Carbon dioxide — 0.04 percent
(Trace amounts of neon, helium, methane, krypton and hydrogen, as well as water vapor)
