Group 6 elements usually have extra electrons to make give them an octet. So, they have 6 electrons to start and when they have an octet, they have 8.
We can find the charge by doing simple math 6 - 8 = -2
Answer is D)
There can only be two electrons in the innermost shell of an atom so b is the correct answer
Answer:
The octet rule means that atoms need a total of 8 valence electrons to fill their valence shell. Hydrogen only needs two to fill its valence shell.
Explanation:
All atoms except for hydrogen can hold a total of 8 valence electrons in their outer energy levels (2 in the s level, 6 in the p level). Hydrogen only has two electrons total, so it does not require more than the s level and two electrons to have a full valence.
The mass is the total number of protons and neutrons there are in the nucleus. There are 15 and 18 neutrons, that means the mass is 33
15 + 18 = 33
