Argon is a suitable choice for light bulbs because it is inert. Compared to a reactive gas like oxygen, the metal filimant would burn up in a reactive environment, which is why a noble gas is used.
Statement that when two elements combine with each other to from more than one compound, the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
Answer:
a)
b) entropy of the sistem equal to a), entropy of the universe grater than a).
Explanation:
a) The change of entropy for a reversible process:
The energy balance:
If the process is isothermical the U doesn't change:
The work:
If it is an ideal gas:
Solving:
Replacing:
Given that it's a compression: V2<V1 and ln(V2/V1)<0. So:
b) The entropy change of the sistem will be equal to the calculated in a), but the change of entropy of the universe will be 0 in a) (reversible process) and in b) has to be positive given that it is an irreversible process.
Thus BeF2 is of most covalent character.
Anyways, covalent/ionic character is a bit tricky to figure out; we measure the difference in electronegativity of two elements bonding together and we use the following rule of thumb: if the charge is 0 (or a little more), the bond is non-polar covalent; if the charge is > 0 but < 2.0 (some references say 1.7), the bond is polar covalent; if the charge is > 2.0 then the bond is ionic. Covalent character refers to smaller electronegativity difference while ionic character refers to greater electronegativity difference.
Now, notice all of our bonds are with F, fluorine, which has the highest electronegativity of 3.98. This means that to determine character we need to consider the electronegativities of the other elements -- whichever has the greatest electronegativity has the least difference and most covalent character.
Na, sodium, has electronegativity of 0.93, so our difference is ~3 -- meaning our bond is ionic. Ca, calcium, has 1.00, leaving our difference to again be ~3 and therefore the bond is ionic. Be, beryllium, has 1.57 yielding a difference of ~2.5, meaning we're still dealing with ionic bond. Cs, cesium, has 0.79, meaning our difference is again ~3 and therefore again our compound is of ionic bond. Lastly, we have Sr, strontium, with an electronegativity of 0.95 and therefore again a difference of roughly 3 and an ionic bond.

Answer:
Energy
Explanation:
A sugar group would be used for carbohydrates or nucleic acids. An adenosine group would be used in ATP formation if I recall correct. And disaccharides are just two monosaccharides linked together, so that would also be for carbohydrates. Therefore, energy is the answer.
