<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option C which is, "The sand is heated intensely".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Glass is the allotropic compound of silicon dioxide. For the formation of glass, first of all the sand which contains the silicon dioxide is melted. For this purpose it is heated intensely.

Due to heating at high temperature, it melts. After melting it ifs cooled immediately. In this step molecules become hard without any special pattern formation.

That is why glass is an allotropic compound. Hence correct answer is option C.

Which best explains why ionization energy tends to decrease from the top to the bottom of a group? The number of orbitals decrea
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Electrons get farther from the nucleus.

Explanation:

By going from the top to the bottom of a group, the atomic number increases. That would mean that:

  • The number of orbitals increases, as there are more electrons.
  • A higher atomic number implies an increasing number of neutrons.
  • As there are more electrons, they get farther from the nucleus. The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the easier it is for the electron to be removed from the atom.

Provide one example of how life on Earth would not be possible without water based on its characteristics.
snow_lady [41]

Answer: ice is less dense than liquid water. If ice was more dense, Earth would freeze.

Explanation: There are many reasons why life on Earth depends on the characteristics of water. One could discuss hydrogen bonds and its role as a solvent, but the unusual property of water is is the change in density with change in temperature. Water is densest at 4 degC, which is why ice floats - it is less dense than cold water (it melts quickly in warm water, so density isn’t impotant at higher temperatures). Most liquids are less dense than the solid, frozen form. If this was the case with water, any ice that formed would sink, and sease would freeze from the bottom up. Furthermore, the lowest layers would be insulated and would not all melt in summer. Thus over time, the seas would become a thin layer of liquid water at best, over solid ice. Life could not develop without liquid seas. In addition, ice is reflective, reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed, further reducing temperatures. Without ocean circulation, polar areas would be even colder, and there would be no rain.

Can somebody help me with this also plz
just olya [345]

ANSWER:

4 a) Specific elements have more than one oxidation state, demonstrating variable valency.

For example, the following transition metals demonstrate varied valence states: Fe^{2+}, Fe^{3+}, Cr^{2+}, Cr^{3+}, etc.

Normal metals such as Pb^{2+} and Pb^{4+} also show variable valencies. Certain non-metals are also found to show more than one valence state Pb^{3+} and Pb^{5+}.

4 b) Isotopes are members of a family of an element that all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

For example, Carbon-14 is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope of carbon, having six protons and eight neutrons in the nucleus. However, C-14 does not last forever and there will come a time when it loses its extra neutrons and becomes Carbon-12.

5 a) 2Fe + 3Cl_2 → 2FeCl_3    

5 b) 3Pb + 8HNO_3 → 3Pb (NO_3)_2 + 4H_2O + 2NO_2

5 c) Zn + H_2SO_4 → ZnSO_4 + H_2   (already balanced so don't need to change)

5 d) 2H_2 + O_2 → 2H_2O

5 e) 2Mg + 2HCl → 2MgCl + H_2

EXPLANATION (IF NEEDED):

1. Write out how many atoms of each element is on the left (reactant side) and right (product side) of the arrow.

2. Start multiplying each side accordingly to try to get atoms of the elements on both sides equal.
