It depends if your talking about science or math but It could be both if it says something about weathering which is what causes a rock to break it might be chemical ill comment and tell you the correct answer
Answer:
three half-filled orbitals
Answer:
–1
Explanation:
The electronic configuration of the neutral atom is given below:
2 8 7
From the electronic configuration of the neutral atom, we can see that the atom has 7 electrons in it's outermost shell. This implies that the element needs 1 more electron to complete it's octet configuration.
Therefore the charge on the ion of the element will be –1 indicating that the atom has received 1 electron to complete it's octet configuration.
Explanation:
This atom is on the almost extreme right of the 2nd period of the periodic table (except for the stable element on the extreme right). This means it has the highest mass number of the unstable elements of the period. It thus attracts its electron clouds more strongly that the elements to the left of the period . This means it can gain an atom easily ( this is what is called electronegativity – tendency to attract an electron) than is can lose an electron. In addition, it only needs to acquire one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration (8) in its valence shell.
Due to these, it is hard for the atoms to lose an electron which is why it has a high ionization energy- the energy required to lose an electron.
