Answer:
Option C is the correct. Valence electrons have a higher energy level than those in other filled shells
Explanation:
Electrons must lose energy to move from the first to the second shell. FALSE
The electrons always win energy to move from the first to the second shell.
All the electrons in an atom have similar energy levels FALSE.
They are not neccesary similar. In hydrogen these are the level energy -13.6 eV
, -3.4 eV
, -1.51 eV
, -85 eV and -54 eV
Electrons do not have potential energy, just kinetic energy. FALSE
They have both.
Valencia electrons are the last electrons in the last layer. They have as much energy as possible and are responsible for forming bonds with other elements.
An element or compound which occurs naturally in the earth is a mineral. Minerals are substances formed naturally in the Earth.They have a definite chemical composition and structure. For example, the minerals gold or diamonds you’d find by mining or panning for gold since they are found naturally in the Earth.
The answer is (B).
Hope this helps :).
