1) how many electrons are in each energy level of the following elements? a. he b. na c. na d. ne 2) how many valence electrons are percent in the following atoms? a. s b. mg c. be d. cl 3) which of the following elements are stable as atoms? a. he b. o c. cl d. ar if you are able to provide the work as to how you got the answers that would be greatly appreciated. : )

Answers:

Q1:

a. He: (2 electrons) 1s²

It has only 2 electrons and they are in the first level.

b. Na: (11 electrons) (2,8,1) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

It has 2 electrons in the first level, 8 electrons in the second level, and 1 electron in the third level.

c. Na: is repeated like b

If it is Na⁺: (10 electrons) (2,8) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

it will be like Ne and it has 2 electrons in the first level, and 8 electrons in the second level.

d. Ne: (10 electrons) (2,8) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

it has 2 electrons in the first level, and 8 electrons in the second level.

Q2:

a. S: (16 electron) (2,8,6) [Ne] 3s² 3p⁴

The valence electrons of S are 6 electrons.

b. Mg: (12 electron) (2,8,2) [Ne] 3s²

The valence electrons of Mg are 2 electrons.

c. Be: (4 electrons) (2,2) 1s² 2s²

The valence electrons of Be are 2 electrons.

d. Cl: (17 electrons) (2,8,7) [Ne] 3s² 3p⁵

The valence electrons of Cl are 7 electrons.

Q3:

a. He and d. Ar

Explanation:

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.
