ella [17]

Answer:

A barium atom would be expected to contain 2 electrons in its outer energy level.

Explanation:

The columns of the periodic table are called groups. There are eighteen groups, numbered from 1 to 18.

The elements of each group have the same number of electrons in their last atomic shell, which is why they have similar chemical properties, because the chemical properties of chemical elements are strongly related to the electrons located in the last atomic shell.

That is, in a group, the chemical properties are very similar, because all the elements of the group have the same number of electrons in their last or last shells.

How a river rock layer overtime
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Most of the rocks exposed at the surface of Earth are sedimentary--formed from particles of older rocks that have been broken apart by water or wind. The gravel, sand, and mud settle to the bottom in rivers, lakes, and oceans. These sedimentary particles may bury living and dead animals and plants on the lake or sea bottom. With the passage of time and the accumulation of more particles, and often with chemical changes, the sediments at the bottom of the pile become rock. Gravel becomes a rock called conglomerate, sand becomes sandstone, mud becomes mudstone or shale, and the animal skeletons and plant pieces can become fossils.
