Which of the following atoms has six valence electrons? (2 points)

Chemistry

The correct answer is Sulfur (S).


Sulfur has 6 valence electrons because it is located in Group 16 (or the sixth group over if you don’t count the transition metals). This means that one atom of sulfur has 6 electrons in its outermost shell out of 8 total “spots”, which you can count by counting the group numbers (excluding the transition metals) from Group 1 (with one valence electron) to Group 18 (the noble gases with full valence or outer shells).


By this same logic, Carbon (C) has 4 valence electrons and Cesium (Cs) has 1 valence electron, so neither of these is the correct answer.


Hope this helps!

If the velocity of a wave is 12 m/s and its frequency is 600 hertz, what would be its wavelength?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

<em>»</em><em> </em><em>λ </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>0</em><em>2</em><em>m</em>

Explanation:

Given :

Velocity of the wave {v}= 12 m/s

Frequency {f} = 600 Hz

Apply Wavelength formula :

• λ =  \frac{v}{f}

→ λ = \frac{12}{600}

→ λ = \frac{1}{50}

→ λ = 0.02m
