The answer to the question is- Fe2O3
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The valence electrons are electrons found on the valence (outermost) shell of an atom.
When an atoms form compounds, there is an exchange of valence electrons between the atoms of one element and the atoms of another element.
Let us consider a typical example, sodium has one valence electron and chlorine has seven valence electrons. This means that chlorine needs one electron to complete its octet while sodium needs to release one electron in order to attain the octet structure.
So, sodium gives out its one electron and becomes a stable sodium ion and chlorine accepts that electron and becomes a stable chloride ion. This is how the compound sodium chloride is formed.
Great question, but I believe you are mixing up atomic number with mass number. Assuming you are, 12.011 amu is the average mass of a carbon atom. For carbon, it can come in three forms: carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14. The number following carbon is the mass number of that particular carbon "isotope". The reason the average is so close to 12 is because carbon-12 is by far the most common, so the average should be (and is) very close to 12. Therefore, 12.011 is a weighted average of all carbon molecules, and carbon-14 is a particular carbon molecule that weighs 14 amu.
