Its an element Im pretty sure
6 . 2 in its inner shell & the remaining 6 in its outer shell.
Answer: B (Items with densities lower than water will sink due to surface tension)
Explanation:
Surface tension is an intermolecular force exerted on the surface of water making it like a stretch elastic skin. Surface tension enables items with lesser densities than water, to float and slide on a water surface. Examples insects, leaves, paper etc
According to Archimedes principle an object denser than the fluid will sink. While objects less dense than the fluid will float.
Answer is (B) is false because items with densities higher then water will sink due to surface tension
Given :
An atom of a certain element has 12 protons, 14 neutrons, and 2 valence electrons.
To Find :
The name of this element.
Solution :
We know, element with atomic number ( number of protons ) 12 and valance electrons is Magnesium.
Now, isotope of magnesium of proton with 14 neutrons is Mg-16 .
Therefore, name of element is Mg-16 .
Hence, this is the required solution.
