Answer:
8
Explanation:
The atomic mass of an atom refers to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Hence, an element with 6 valence electron mean that it has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.
The atomic Number of elements with 6 valence electrons cannot necessarily be the same, however, elements with 6 valence electrons belong to group six on the periodic table.
From the options given above, :
Atomic number of 8 :
Configuration : 2, 6
Atomic number of 10 :
Configuration : 2, 8
Atomic number of 12 :
Configuration : 2, 8, 2
Hence, only the element with atomic number of 8 has 6 valence electrons in its outer most shell, hence, the answer.
Is B. The number of the atomic mass can increase or decrease because the number of neutrons is different.
Answer:
C10H22
Explanation:
Graphite is known as an allotrope of carbon. Its characteristics include being black and slippery and as used as lubricants.
Gold (Au) is an element on the periodic table with atomic number 79 and a mass number 197 which exists as a metal due to its hydrogen bonds.
C10H22 which is also known as decane belongs to the Alkane family.The General forces of attraction between the alkane family are weak but in the case of decade there is Van der waal force which makes Decane C10H22 a Molecular Solid.
The same argument can be made for the process of freezing: energy is put into a liquid during melting, so freezing the liquid into a solid again returns that energy to the surroundings. Like phase changes, chemical reactions can occur with the application or release of heat.
