Fluorine has an atomic number of 9, how many electron shells does it have?

1 answer:

4 0

2 shells because if you do the electronic configuration:
2,7 which adds up to 9
7 stands for the group it in and it also stands for how many electrons are in the outer shell.
the amount of spaces stands for which period its in therefore it in period 2

Determine if the equation is endothermic or exothermic examples

Fittoniya [83]

There are a couple of ways todetermine if a reaction is exothermic or endothermic. Endothermic meaning that heat is added to the reaction to make the reactants interact and exothermic meaning heat is released during the reaction between the two reactants.

In endothermic reactions you can find a triangle above the arrow.

Uranium-267 undergoes alpha decay, what is the mass of the new element?

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

will this help ?

Explanation:

(108Hs) is a synthetic element, and thus a standard atomic weight cannot be given. Like all synthetic elements, it has no stable isotopes. The first isotope to be synthesized was 265Hs in 1984. There are 12 known isotopes from 263Hs to 277Hs and 1–4 isomers. The most stable isotope of hassium cannot be determined based on existing data due to uncertainty that arises from the low number of measurements. The confidence interval of half-life of 269Hs corresponding to one standard deviation (the interval is ~68.3% likely to contain the actual value) is 16 ± 6 seconds, whereas that of 270Hs is 9 ± 4 seconds. It is also possible that 277mHs is more stable than both of these, with its half-life likely being 110 ± 70 seconds, but only one event of decay of this isotope has been registered as of 2016.[1][2].

Why is salt added to hot chicken soups during cooking besides giving the chicken soups a good taste?

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The answer is option 3.

Explanation:

When salt is added to the water, the boiling point increases because it needs to take in more energy from heat to break down the bonds and dissolve the salt in the water.

The prefix 'kilo-' means a thousand. So a kilo-gram is a thousand grams. 1 kilogram=1,000 grams How many kilograms is 1,008 gram

lesantik [10]

Answer: 1.0 kilograms.

Explanation:

One kilogram is equal to a thousand grams.

Supposing x to be the number of kilograms equal to one thousand and eight grams, we can write it as:

1 kg = 1000 grams

x kg = 1008 grams

To solve for x, we can simply divide 1008 grams by 1000 thousand grams to get the answer.

x = 1008 / 1000

x = 1.008

Rounding this value to the nearest tenth, it will become 1.0 kilograms.
