"Carbon" is an element. It is found in the fourth group of the periodic table, and it is a stable element. This means that it can not be decomposed via heating, because if an element were to break down, it would release its subatomic particles. The explanation was probably one used to describe the thermal decomposition of a compound into smaller compounds.
I would pick the first option in the third option
Answer: Endothermic, 2.80 kJ
Explanation
Since this reaction absorbs heat, it is endothermic.
The energy absorbed per mole CO is 2.80 kJ and this reaction is already balanced. q= 2.80 kJ
Hope this helps:)
an atom that has 18 protons, 18 neutrons and 20 neutrons. This atom has mass number of 38
mass number is calculated as number of protons + number on neutrons
therefore the mass number of the atom = 18+20= 38
Since the atom has a electronic configuration of 2.8.8,the atom cannot be negatively or positively charged because it is stable.
The atomic number of the atom is 18 since atomic number is equal to number of protons
