Answer:
it would be a cation ... i believe
Explanation:
To become a cation, a positively charged ion, an atom would have to lose at least two electrons
The atomic number is the total number of protons in the nucleus. The mass number is the total number of particles in the nucleus. That includes the neutrons and the protons. So, the atomic number is 31. When you look at the element on the periodic table with a designated atomic number of 31, that would be Gallium, with a symbol of Ga. Mass number is 31 + 36 = 67. So, the answer is A.
Subtracting the mass of (flask+water) from the empty flask gives:
95.023 g - 85.135 g = 9.888 grams of water
Dividing this by the given volume of 10.00 mL water gives:
9.888 grams of water / 10.00 mL of water = 0.9888 g/mL of water
Therefore, based on this sample, the density of water is 0.9888 g/mL, which is close to the usually accepted approximation of 1 g/mL.
Carbon is special and unique because it is able to form different compounds with a lot of elements, including itself. When it bonds with itself, this is possible because of the concept of hybridization. It is the mixing of atomic orbitals into a new hybrid orbital. In this case, methane is formed through the sp³ hybridization.
Potassium is placed where it is based on its properties and it's reactivity. It's also placed there based on it's atomic number.
