Answer:
Four electrons are present in the valence shell of Silicon.
Explanation:
Valence shell electrons are those electrons which are present in the outermost shell of an atom. These valence shell electrons are responsible for in the formation of bonds with other atoms.
Silicon having atomic number 14 has fourteen electrons in its neutral state and has the electronic configuration as follow;
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p²
In given configuration the valence shell (outermost shell) is 3 and the number of electrons present in it are four i.e. 3s² and 3p² (2 + 2 = 4) respectively.
Winter because the winter solstice is the point when the sun is at its lowest making it the coldest day of the year
Actually, that does not happen until the protostar becomes a star when nuclear ignition starts and is maintained. It takes awhile for new star to go through its T-Tauri stage and settle down on the main sequence.
<span>A STAR does not reach hydrostatic equilibrium until it on the main sequence. Otherwise, it would remain a brown dwarf with not enough mass to to maintain nuclear fusion for more than 3,000 to 10,00 years. </span>
When heated, particles vibrate faster, thus increasing the distance between one another. The distance between these particles results in changes of state. Therefore, increased molecular motion results in expansion of an object. This works vice versa for cooling. As the vibrations slow down, the particles become closer together. This results in contraction.
Answer:
36.693
Explanation:
From the question given, the following were obtained:
Let 35Cl be isotope A and 37Cl be isotope
For isotope A (35Cl),
Mass number = 34.9700
Abundance = 13.85 %
For isotope B (37Cl),
Mass number = 36.9700
Abundance = 86.15 %
Atomic mass =
[( Mass of AxAbundance A)/100] + [(Mass of BxAbundance B)/100]
[(34.97x13.85)/100] + [(36.97x86.15)/100]
= 36.693
