etermine the number of valence electrons for each of the atoms. Enter each answer as a numeral. For example, if an atom has two valence electrons, enter the number 2. Li: Answer Mg: Answer O: Answer Ne: Answer

1. 1

2. 2

3. 6

4. 8

Explanation:

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

1. Li is the symbol for the chemical element known as Lithium: it has 1 valence electron. The electronic configuration of lithium is 1s²2s¹

2. Mg is the symbol for the chemical element known as Magnesium: it has 2 valence electrons. The electronic configuration of magnesium is 1s²2s²2p63s²

3. O is the symbol for the chemical element known as Oxygen: it has 6 valence electrons. The electronic configuration of magnesium is 1s²2s²2p⁴.

4. Ne is the symbol for the chemical element known as Neon: it has 8 valence electrons.

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.

the answer is true. hope it .
