Answer 2.04
Explanation
Electronegativity decreases down the group and increases across the period in the periodic table.
In the period two of the periodic table,we have the following values for electronegativities with respect to its elements.
Li...........0.98
Be.........1.57
B..........2.04
C.........2.55
N..........3.04
O...........3.44
F...........3.98
Ne........n.a
The value that should be where M is is 2.04
The rows in the top third - This group consists of elements like Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium on the right and Chlorine, Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen on the left.
Sodium and Chlorine are components of salt, a very important compound of our blood, essential for transferring electrical signals from the brain to the rest of the body and vice versa. Calcium is the building block of our bones, while Magnesium and potassium ensure proper functioning of our organs.
Explanation:
1. Electrons surround the nucleus in defined regions called orbits.
2. The shells further away from the nucleus are larger and can hold more electrons.
3. The shells closer to the nucleus are smaller and can hold less electrons.
4. The closest shell (closest to the nucleus) can hold a maximum of two electrons.
5. Once the first shell is full, the second shell begins to fill. It can hold a maximum of eight electrons.
6. Once the second shell is full, the third shell begins to fill.
7. Once the third shell contains Eighteen electrons, the fourth shell begins to fill.
8. The arrangement of electrons in shells around the nucleus is referred to as an atom's electronic configuration.
Answer:
last choice
Explanation:
oxidation and reduction can be defined in terms of adding or removing oxygen to a compound
oxidation is gaining oxygen
reduction is to loss oxygen
