Concept:
When an atom has incomplete number of electron in its outermost orbit then it has great tendency to react with another atom which satisfies their octate either by sharing or by transferring their electrons. The involved electrons are called valence electrons. These electrons will effect the energy level because of the transition of these electrons from one energy level to another energy level.
In case of electrovalent compound, the valance electron complete their octate by transferring their valence electrons while in the covalent compound, they complete their octate by the sharing of their valence electrons.
Hence, the valence electron of the atom effect the energy levels by the transition from one state to another state in the bond formation.
Answer;
-(2) An atom is mostly empty space.
Experiment
-Rutherford conducted the "gold foil" experiment where he shot alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold. The conclusion that can be drawn from these experiment is that an atom is mostly empty space.
-Rutherford found that a small percentage of the particles were deflected, while a majority passed through the sheet. This caused Rutherford to conclude that the mass of an atom was concentrated at its center, as the tiny, dense nucleus was causing the deflections.
Answer:It has the lowest effective nuclear charge of the four new elements.
Answer:
Compound 1 is molecular
Compound 2 is ionic
Compound 3 can't really be decided
Explanation:
A molecular substance does not conduct electricity, has very low melting and boiling points and is held together by very weak intermolecular forces.
An ionic substance conducts electricity in solution or in molten state but never in the pure solid state, has a high melting and boiling point and has a dull appearance most times.
Compounds 1 shows the properties of molecular substances hence it are designated as such.
On the other hand, compound 2 shows the properties of an ionic substance and is also designated as such.
We can't really decide on compound 3 because it shows some properties of ionic substances and some properties of molecular substances.
