Answer 2

is this a test?

Answer 3

No. It's questions that I missed, and I want to know the correct answers for my notes.

Answer 4

ahh okay

Answer 5

well, the numbers represent electrons, specifically the number of electrons in the specific shell

1s- 2 electrons
2s-2 electrons
2p-5 electrons

in order for the p shell to be full, you need 6 electrons, which is sort of how you create an ion, you remove or add electrons until you reach the nearest stable shell

Answer 6

Could someone explain this question to me?

Answer 7

Ok, gotcha.

Answer 8

well i would say its B That would be Fluorine im pretty sure. Fluorine has a -1 oxidation state.

Answer 9

well, yes but why

Answer 10

@3mar

Answer 11

I put D before and got it wrong.

Answer 12

crap, its been a while since ive had to explain chemistry

Answer 13

Its ok.. I do believe its B myself.

Answer 14

essentially, in order to add or remove electrons onto or from an atom, it requires a certain amount of energy
in the case of ions, you want to try to use the least amount of energy in order to create an ion

adding 2 electrons onto an atom would require exponentially more energy than if you were to add only 1 and same for removing

Answer 15

was i right?

Answer 16

yes but doesnt help if they come back and ask the same question

Answer 17

Well, I am here.

Answer 18

late

Answer 19

yeah well its midnight for me so i gtg ttyl

Answer 20

I was praying Al-owletr

Answer 21
