Brainllest! Why are they called hot air balloons and not cold air balloons? Be sure to use the terms density, volume, and mass in your answer.

the electron configuration that you gave me has 16 electrons ergo it has 16 protons ergo it is the element sulfur.

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!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
