Answer:
A
Explanation:
There are three states of mater; solid liquid and gas. The sold state is the difficult to compress while the gaseous state is quite easy to compress.
A gas is easily compressed because the particles in a gas are far apart from each other. A solid is difficult to compress because the particles of a solid are close together. From all the above statements, it is easily deducible that the compressibility property of a substance in a particular state of matter depends on the proximity of the particles to each other, hence the answer above.
Yes it could, but you'd have to set up the process very carefully.
I see two major challenges right away:
1). Displacement of water would not be a wise method, since rock salt
is soluble (dissolves) in water. So as soon as you start lowering it into
your graduated cylinder full of water, its volume would immediately start
to decrease. If you lowered it slowly enough, you might even measure
a volume close to zero, and when you pulled the string back out of the
water, there might be nothing left on the end of it.
So you would have to choose some other fluid besides water ... one in
which rock salt doesn't dissolve. I don't know right now what that could
be. You'd have to shop around and find one.
2). Whatever fluid you did choose, it would also have to be less dense
than rock salt. If it's more dense, then the rock salt just floats in it, and
never goes all the way under. If that happens, then you have a tough
time measuring the total volume of the lump.
So the displacement method could perhaps be used, in principle, but
it would not be easy.
Answer:
Element 2
Explanation:
If we look at the model stated for element 1, it is clear that element 1 must be a noble gas. It has eight electrons in its outermost shell this implies that it has already attained a complete octet of electrons and is reluctant towards chemical reaction.
The second element belongs to group 16 since it has six electrons on its outermost shell. It is certainly more reactive than element 1 which is a noble gas.
