Valence.
The electrons in the outer shell of an atom are called valence electrons.
Valence electrons determine whether the an element is ready form compounds. These electrons can be gained, lost, or shared in the formation of compounds.
Answer:
Na has the most similar configuration.
Explanation:
Na electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹ or [Ne] 3s₁
Mg electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s² or [Ne] 3s²
Be electron configuration: 1s²2s² or [He] 2s²
This is because Na and Mg are right next to each other in the same period (horizontal).
A liquid becoming a gas. For instance water (liquid) turns into steam (gas).
If you're referring to plants, your answer is the Epidermis.
