How do you separate sand and zinc?

By using magnet.

Explanation:

Put sand and zinc in the bowl.

Take a magnet an bring it close to the bowl.

The zinc from the sand will be attracted towards the magnet.

In this way it will be separated.

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!
