Use your periodic table of elements. Take any element of your choosing (from period 4 or above) and answer the following questio
ns: ( I choose silicon)
What is the element's name and symbol? Is it a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid? Which family does it belong to? How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does its neutral atom have?
Thanks!
Silicon's element name is Silicon. Silicon's symbol is "Si" Silicon is a metalloid. Silicon would belong in the Semi-Conductor's family. 14 Protons, 14 Neutrons and 14 Electrons (if the silicon element is neutral and the most common of it's atom.)
Yams are produced through slips, which have been generated again from sprouts of mature yams, rather than seeds, as most other crops are. Split a yam in part and place one half in a bowl of cool water to develop sprouts.
