Answer:
stay the same.
Explanation: Period 3 consists of the full 1s, 2s, and 2p electron orbitals, plus the 3s and 3p valence orbitals, which are filled with a total of 8 more electrons as we move from left (Na) to the far right (Ar):
Na: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
Ar: s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
As we move from left to right, and ignoring the already-filled 1s, 2s, and 2p orbitals, the period three starting and ending elements have the following:
Na: 3s1
Ar: 3s2, 3p6
All the new electrons electrons filled the third energy level (3s and 3p). So the energy level does not change, just the orbitals.
Answer:
The elements in the reactants are the same as the elements in the products.
Explanation:
You can't have more or less elements or atoms, but you also can't just have the same number of atoms because then it could be different elements, which can't happen.
Answer:
Explanation:
is insufficient to overcome intermolecular forces.
