- 1. How does the electron theory explain (a) why a rubber rod becomes negatively charged when rubbed with fur; (b) why a glass rod becomes positively charged when rubbed with silk?arrow_forward(c) Theoretically, define the following elements in the formulae belowPth = ρghq x ŋarrow_forwardUse the following image to determine which statement is true: Calcium is the most reactive because it has the most energy levels (shells.) Carbon is the most reactive because it can take or give 4 electrons. Helium is the most reactive because it is the simplest and can therefor react easier. Lithium is the most reactive because it has a valence of 1.arrow_forward

- rite the proper charges so that an alkali metal, a noble gas, and a halogen have the same electron configurations. What is the number of protons in each“? The number of electrons in each? Arrange them from smallest to largest radii and explain your ordering rationale.arrow_forward7.21 Theoretical models for the structure of atomic nuclei predict the existence of superheavy elements that have not yet been discovered and suggest that such elements might be fairly stable if they could be produced. So researchers are currently trying to synthesize these superheavy elements to test these theories. Element 117 has been synthesized and named Tennessine (Ts). What would the Lewis dot symbol be for this new element?arrow_forwardHow many valence electrons do atoms with the following electron configurations have? a. 1s22s2 b. 1s22s22p63s2 c. 1s22s22p63s23p1 d. 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p2arrow_forward
