Part of the answer you are looking for may be- Molecules overcome attractions easily and at high temperatures, move faster- (paraphrased from Google) Since the question asked was not provided with the statements as proposed in the original question, I cannot give you an exact answer. I did what i could do, hope this helps!
Answer:
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, when performing mathematical operations with numbers in scientific notation, the first step is to write them in standard notation:
550 - 65.0
Thus, the result without any significant figures-based analysis is:
615.0
However, since 550 is significant to the ones and 65.0 to the tenths, we need to round the result to the bigger significance, in this case to the ones; therefore the appropriate result would be:
615
That in scientific notation would be:
Best regards!
Answer:
Why? Because of electron shells. Technically, they're not fully inert. They have very low reactivity potential, and can only be forced to become reactive with difficulty.
Explanation:
All chemical reactivity is made possible through the atom's electron arrangement. Electrons basically have shelves where they live, called "levels" or "shells". Each level is farther from the nucleus than the previous one. Atoms are most stable when their outer most shell (called the valence shell) is full. Atoms with an incomplete shell will react with other atoms, in an attempt to either fill out the outer shell, or to rid itself of it's valence electrons so that that previous level becomes a full valence level. If the valence shell ils already full, the atom will not be inclined to create compounds.
The first shell can hold up to two electrons. After the first two electrons, any additional electrons have to begin a new shell. The second shell can hold eight electrons before it becomes full. Helium is the first noble gas on the periodic table, having two protons and two electrons. Because helium's outer most shell is full, it does not react with other atoms.
By comparison, look at hydrogen and oxygen. Oxygen has eight electrons. The first two electrons occupy the first shell. The remaining six go to the second shell. This leaves the second shell with two empty spaces that can potentially be filled. Meanwhile, hydrogen has one electron, with it's valence shell having an empty space for one additional electron. Two hydrogen atoms give up their single electrons to an oxygen atom, so that all three end up with stable valence levels.
By the time an atom can fill out the second electron shell on it's own (10 total electrons) you end up with neon, the second noble gas.
I believe the answer is 11, its been awhile since i was in science
