Explanation:

Because the solution only contains Na+ and Cl− ions, and water, and not the metal Na(s) . You cannot evaporate the water from the solution and hope to obtain anything but NaCl(s) .

Na(s) has an electron configuration of 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1 , but Na+(aq) has an electron configuration of 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 . That means they are not the same element, and thus, there is no straightforward way of extracting Na(s) from a NaCl (aq) solution

Rank the following atoms by number of valence electrons. Rank from most to fewest valence electrons. To rank items as equivalent

Fed [463]

To count the number of valence electrons we look at the electronic configuration and add the electrons form the electronic shell with the highest principal quantum number.

Rb: [Kr] 5s¹ - 1 valence electron

Xe: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁶ - 8 valence electrons

Sb: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p³ - 5 valence electrons

I: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁵ - 7 valence electrons

In: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p¹ - 3 valence electrons

Rank from most to fewest valence electrons:

Xe > I > Sb > In > Rb

I don’t know the answers to these pls help

stepladder [879]

Answer:

4. Option C. Pentane.

5. Option D.

Explanation:

4. Hydrocarbons are compound containing carbon and hydrogen only. Hydrocarbons are said to be saturated when they contain only carbon to carbon single bond. All alkanes are saturated hydrocarbon.

The correct answer is pentane.

5. Isomerism is the phenomenon whereby two or more compounds have the same molecular formula but different structural patterns. The compounds involved are called isomers.

A careful observation of the diagram above shows that only option D satisfied the definition of Isomerism as the two compound both have the same molecular formula as C3H8O but different structural patterns.

Note: option C does not contain isomers as Isomerism can not occur in a compound having just 1 carbon atom.

Answer:

In each Amplify Science unit, students figure out

a phenomenon by asking questions, gathering

evidence, and coming up with an explanation of how

the phenomenon works. The Coherence Flowchart

visually represents the storyline of the unit, showing

the coherent flow of questions, evidence, and ideas that

support students as they build complex explanations

of the unit’s anchor phenomenon. The Coherence

Flowchart on the following pages (one chapter per

page) can be used to see the connections between

the questions that drive students’ experiences, the

evidence they gather, the ideas they figure out, and the

new questions that those ideas generate. The diagram

to the right explains the structure of a chapter in the

Elements are organized on the periodic table based on their properties. Which statement correctly predicts and explains the chem

Elanso [62]

Answer is: a. Rubidium (Rb) is more reactive than strontium (Sr) because strontium atoms must lose more electrons.

The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).

Alkaline metals (group 1), in this example rubidium, have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron), they are most reactive metals.

Earth alkaline metals (group 2), in this example strontium, have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons, they are less reactive.

Rubidium electron configuration: ₃₇Rb 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶5s¹; one valence electron is 5s¹ orbital.

Strontium electron configuration: ₃₈Sr 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶5s²; two valence electrons is 5s² orbital.
