Noble gases have complete valence electron shells
Answer:
V ∝ abc
Explanation:
This task is a joint variation task involving only direct proportionality:
Direct variation is one in which two variables are in direct proportionality to each other. This means that as one increases, the other variable also increases and vice - versa.
Joint variation is one in which one variable is dependent on two or more variables and varies directly as each of them.
In this exercise:
If a ∝ b and a ∝ c, then a ∝ bc
Taking the above three proportionalities,
V ∝ a ∝ b ∝ c
V ∝ a ∝ bc
V ∝ abc
Answer:
- The standard form of a chemical element is the natural mixture of several isotopes of the same element, which is atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons, while an isotope is a particular kind of atom with a definite number of neutrons.
Explanation:
A <em>chemical element</em> is a pure substance formed by atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons). This is because it is the number of protons what identifies an element.
For example: oxygen is a chemical element, so oxygen is formed by only atoms of oxygen, and the atomic number of those atoms is 8, because every oxygen atom has 8 protons.
Nevertheless, some atoms of oxygen, may have different number of neutrons. Isotopes are different kind of atoms of the same element, which only differ in the number of neutrons. So, some atoms of oxygen will have 8 neutrons, other 9 neutrons, and other 10 neutrons (those are the stable isotopes of oxygen).
That difference in neutrons, is generally accepted that, does not modifiy substantially the chemical properties of the element, but the mass number. So, the isotopes with more neutrons wil be heavier, and the isotopes with less neutrons will be lighter.
- Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.
In general a chemical element is formed by a mixutre of isotopes of the same element.
In the modern periodic table, the elements are arranged according to their atomic number - not their relative atomic mass.
In the periodic table the elements are arranged into:
rows, called periods, in order of increasing atomic number
vertical columns, called groups, where the elements have similar properties
Answer:
A. It is exothermic
Explanation:
Combustion is a chemical reaction in which a substance combines with oxygen present in air to produce carbon (iv) oxide and water as well release heat and light energy.Combustion is an exothermic process.
An exothermic reaction releases energy in the form of heat to the surroundings. The energy required to break bonds in the reactants is less than the energy required to form new bonds in the products in an exothermic reaction.
From the given options;
A. It is exothermic is determinable since the reaction is a combustion reaction
B. The bond making energy is more than 600 kJ is not certain because the mass of the wood being burnt is not given. Also, wood is not composed of a specific element that would be taking part in the reaction, rather it is composed of various substances.
C. It is endothermic. is wrong because combustion of wood is exothermic.
D. The bond breaking energy is more than 600 kJ is not certain because the mass of the wood being burnt is not given. Also, wood is not composed of a specific element that would be taking part in the reaction, rather is composed of many substances.
