Answer:
The statement that best describes the trend in first ionization enery of elements on the periodic table is:
It generally decreases down a group because valence electrons are farther from the nucleus.
The first ionization energy measures how difficult is to release an electron from the outermost shell. The higher the ionization energy the more difficult it is to release an electron, the lower the ionication energy the easier to release an electron.
As the atomic number of the atom increases (which is what happens when you go down a group) the furthest the outermost shell of electrons will be (the size of the atoms increases) and so those electrons require less energy to be released, which means that the ionization energy decreases.
Hope it helps!
Given molecule:
CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3
- The molecule contain only C and H atoms, hence it is a hydrocarbon
- The C atoms in the linear chain are linked together by carbon-carbon single bonds, hence it is a saturated compound
- It has 7 C atoms and 16 H atoms, hence the molecular formula is C7H16
-The molecular formula can be generally represented as CnH2n+2 where n = 7. This corresponds to the general molecular formula for alkanes
The given molecule is best described as an <u>alkane</u>
Answer:
The solid particles will be trapped behind on the strainer while the liquid molecules will pass or filter through.
Explanation:
Filtration is a process of separation of mixtures involving an insoluble solid and a fluid such as liquids or gases using a filtering medium such as paper or cloth or any other material. During the process, the liquid molecules pass through the filtering medium whereas the solid particles are not allowed to pass through but are retained by the medium. The reason is that the pores on the filtering medium are only small enough for the liquid molecules to pass through but not the solid particles.
An example of a mixture that can be separated through filtration is a suspension of chalk and water. Also, a mixture of water and solid particles such as water and tea leaves can also be separated using a strainer with cloth.
In the question, if a mixture of insoluble solids in a liquid is passed through a strainer with cloth, the solid particles will be trapped behind on the strainer while the liquid molecules will pass through.
