(application) You're comparing three different atoms. Atom A has 9 protons in the
nucleus, Atom B has 10 protons, and Atom C has 11 protons.
Explain each answer in detail. In each answer, include a diagram showing the number of
electrons in each shell of the atom.
a.
Which atom would be least likely to react with other atoms? Why?
Do numbers 1-10. This is not graded.
A carbon atom, with a half-full outer shell of electrons—four in a shell that can hold eight—readily shares its electrons with other atoms and forms a vast number of molecules, many of which are the organic molecules that form the bulk of living matter. Looking at the periodic table, what other element do you think might play a role like carbon in life forms on some other planet?
