2. Which of the following elements does not lose an electron easily? (a) Na (6) F (c) Mg (d) Al​

Chemistry

Answer:

Answer: (b) F

Explanation:

Sodium has 1, magnesium has 2 and Aluminium has 3 electrons in its outermost shell whereas Fluorine has 7 electrons in its outermost shell hence Fluorine does not lose electrons easily.

The electronic configuration of fluorine is 2,7.

Fluorine is the ninth element with a total of 9 electrons.

The first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital.

The next 2 electrons for F go in the 2s orbital.

The remaining five electrons will go in the 2p orbital. Therefore the F electron configuration will be 1s22s22p5.

What is the relationship between particle size and wheathering rate
Olegator [25]

The relationship between particle size and wethering rate as the errosion occurs on the surface area.

So wethering is proportional to the particles size of elements as more smaller the particles and more swiftly particles are surrounded erosion specially chemical occurrs weathering that acts as more aspace in rocks with small particle sizes.

Compounds with high melting points have _____
solong [7]

Answer:

C) Ionic bonds

Explanation:

The ionic bonds are the strongest bond, it occurs when a metal donates electrons and a nonmetal gain these electrons. They'll be together by electrostatic force.

Metallic bonds it the second strongest bond, it occurs between metals, which loses electrons. It's an electrostatic force, but weaker than the ionic compound because it occurs between the cation and the electron.

Covalent bonds are the weakest bond. It happens between metals and nonmetals, or nonmetals and hydrogen or between atoms of hydrogen. The force that joins the atoms depends on the polarity of the molecule. Polar molecules have dipole forces, nonpolar molecules, induced dipole forces. Also, hydrogen makes special dipole forces with nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine, called hydrogen bond.

As the stronger is the force, as difficult it will be to break it. So, ionic bonds will demand more energy to become gas, and have high melting points.

How does the amount, or magnitude, of charge on an object affect its attraction or repulsion of another object?
strojnjashka [21]
<span>If there is more charge in two particles that are different, then they will get a lot closer together than particles that have less charge in them! But if there is more charge in two particles that are the same charge, then they will get a lot further away than particles that have less charge in them.</span>

Stable carbon isotopes of c3 plant resins and ambers record changes in atmospheric oxygen since the triassic:
kumpel [21]
Estimating the partial pressure of atmospheric oxygen (pO 2) in the geological past has been challenging because of the lack of reliable proxies. Here we develop a technique to estimate paleo-pO 2 using the stable carbon isotope composition (δ 13 C) of plant resins—including amber, copal, and resinite—from a wide range of localities and ages (Triassic to modern). Plant resins are particularly suitable as proxies because their highly cross-linked terpenoid structures allow the preservation of pristine δ 13 C signatures over geological.

Hope this helps.
