Chlorine has less valence electrons than bromine, and, therefore, needs to bond with another atom to become more stable .
Answer:
1: CO2 cycle
2: soil respiration
3: in soil repiration grass regenerates and is ready for gazing, the carbon will be sequestered again when the animals return. then CO2 is released into the atmosphere.
I think so. You should check the Periodic Table. ;-)
Answer:
D. It would have a net negative charge
Explanation:
In an atom, there are electrons, protons and neutrons collectively called SUBATOMIC PARTICLES. The charge of an atom is determined by the number of electrons and protons in that atom. A neutral or uncharged atom possess the same number of electrons and protons.
The charge can thus be calculated as follows:
Charge of atom = no. of protons - no. of electrons.
Hence, when the number of electrons in an atom is higher than that of the protons, it means that the atom has gained negatively charged electrons, making that atom have a net negative charge. For example, In an atom that contains 10 protons and 11 electrons, the charge of that atom will be (10 - 11) = -1. The net charge of that atom will be -1, which is NEGATIVE.
