If an atom has 1 to 3 valence electrons, what will it do?

-move electrons to a lower shell

-accept electrons

-move electrons to a higher shell

-donate electrons

Explanation:

An atom with one to three valence electrons would have to gain seven to five valence electrons, respectively to get a stable octet.

It is easier for it to donate electrons and expose the stable octet of electrons in the shell below..

(A) is wrong. You can't move electrons to a lower shell, because it's already full.

(B) is wrong. The atom will donate electrons.

(C) is wrong. Moving electrons to a higher shell will make the atom more unstable.

first let us lay out the formula for potential

and kinetic energy:

pe = mgh

ke = (mv^2)/2

where: m=mass, v=velocity, g=gravitational

acceleration, h=height

calculating for mass using the known values of

pe:

340j = m (9.81 m/s^2) (50ft) (1m/3.28ft)

m = 2.27 kg

the law of conservation of energy states that

energy is neither created nor destroyed. therefore, the change in kinetic

energy from 50 ft to 35 ft would be equal to the change in potential energy

from 50 ft to 35 ft. however it would be opposite in signs since one is losing

while other is gaining.

ke(35ft) – ke(50ft) = - [ pe(35ft) – pe(50ft]

ke(50ft) = 0 since the brick is initially at rest

ke(35ft) = 340j - 2.27kg (9.81 m/s^2) (35ft)

(1m/3.28 ft)

ke(35ft)

= 102.38 j

indium, and thallium have three electrons i think
