I knit, and I'm becoming increasingly interested in spinning yarn, but I cant afford a spinning wheelSo, one day at my local yarn shop I saw a guy who had this yarn spinning deviceIt looked like a toy top, it had like a stick with a wheel (like a large button or something) at one end and a hook at the very end of the side the wheel was onThe roving fibers were fed through the hook, went around to the other side of the wheel, and was wound around the stick.Does anybody know what this is called? I've searched everywhere and have no idea what it's called.Thank in advance
I think it's called a drop spindle.
you just go by the atomic numberthe atomic number tells you the number of protonsthe number of electrons will equal the number of protons except in states of different oxidation which are sometimes noted on the side of the symbol of the element/ Al has 13 electrons in a neutral state, but 3 are valence electrons (can be loaned in an ionic bond, for example)you need to subtract 3 from 13, to get a total of 10 electrons for an Al3+ ionH has one electron, He has 2, etcgroup 1 has 1 valence electron, group 2 have 2 valence electrons and so on i edited trying to explain bettergl if it's not clear let me know i will try to better explain.
