Answer: A. True
Explanation: Combustion is a chemical process in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen and gives off heat. The original substance is called the fuel, and the source of oxygen is called the oxidizer. ... During combustion, new chemical substances are created from the fuel and the oxidizer.
<span>The average speed of the gas is related to the kinetic
energy of the gas. The kinetic energy of
the gas is also related to the temperature of the gas. If the average speed of
the gas is closer to zero, it means that it has very low motion or kinetic
energy. This can be inferred that the gas has a very low temperature. At absolute
zero, the motion of all the gas molecules stops. This means that the kinetic
energy of the gas is also zero. Zero kinetic energy means zero average speed.</span>
<span>So, the answer is cylinder B. The average speed of the gas
in cylinder B is closest to zero.</span>
Answer:
1. The electronic configuration of X is: 1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2
2. The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6
3. The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given as: XY
Explanation:
For X to loss two electrons, it means X is a group 2 element. X can be any element in group 2. The electronic configuration of X is:
1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2
To get the electronic configuration of the anion of element Y, let us find the configuration of element Y. This is done as follows:
Y receives two electrons from X to complete its octet. Therefore Y is a group 6 element. The electronic configuration of Y is given below
1s2 2s2 2p4
The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6
The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given below :
X^2+ + Y^2- —> XY
Their valency will cancel out thus forming XY
Oxygen, fluorine and iodine are diatomic elements. Flourine is more reactive than the other two because it is the closest away to filling its outer layer of electrons and becoming stable like a noble gas.
