Answer:
The answer to your question is the third option, atoms of each lose one electron to achieve stability.
Explanation:
a) The first option is incorrect, those elements are extremely reactive and can explode.
b) The option is also incorrect, metalloids are located in groups 3A, 4A OR 5A in the periodic table.
c) This option is correct
d) These elements have 1 valence electron, this option is wrong.
<span>Answer:
Yes, the n for potassium would be 4, and for neon would be 2.
Just count which row of the periodic table you are on.
The "L" tells you whether the highest-energy electron is in
an "s" orbital (L=0) or a "p" orbital (L=1) or a "d" orbital (L=2) or an "f" orbital (L=3).
The manner in which these orbitals are filled is:
for each of the first three rows (up to argon),
two electrons in the "s" orbital are filled first, then 6 electrons in the "p"orbitals.
The potassium row also starts with filling the "s" orbital at the new "n" level (4)
but then goes back to filling up the "d" orbitals of n=3 before it fills up the "p"s for n=4.
OK, so potassium has n=4, L = 0, while neon has n=2, L = 1.
The quantum numbers connected with "an element" are always referring to the
highest-energy electron, i.e., the one that was absent in the predecessor element
of the periodic table. When you go from potassium to calcium,
you still get n=4, L = 0, because there are two positions in the "s" orbital.
But when you go from calcium to scandium, suddenly you go back to n=3, L = 2 ("d" orbital).</span>
Answer:
a colloid and a solution
Explanation:
When solute particles completely dissolve in a solvent, a true solution is formed. The solute particles in this case are so little that they can not be seen with naked eyes. A true solution does not scatter rays of light.
In a false solution, the solute particles are larger than the solute particles in true solutions but are not large enough to be seen with naked eyes. False solutions scatter rays of light. False solutions are also called colloids.
The major difference between a solution and a colloid is that colloids scatter light rays (Tyndall effect) while a true solution does not scatter light rays.
From each drop-down menu, a solid has (a definite volume and a definite shape), a Liquid has (a definite volume) and gas has ( non of the above)
<h3>The features of different states of Matter:</h3>
Matter is defined as anything that has weight and occupies space.
There are three states of matter that is in existence which include:
- Solid: The particles of solid are closely packed together and vibrate around fixed axes. That is why they have a definite shape and volume.
- Liquid: The particles of liquid, though attracted to each other,move freely over each other. That is why they have definite volume but not a definite shape.
Therefore, a liquid occupies the shape of its container.
- Gas: The particles of gas contain scattered molecules that are dispersed across a given volume.
Therefore, a gas neither has a definite shape nor volume.
