Mendeleev's periodic table

Dmitri Mendeleev

Like many scientists working at the end of the 19th-century the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev (1834-1907) was looking for ways to organise the known elements. Mendeleev published his first periodic table of the elements in 1869.

Features of Mendeleev's tables

Mendeleev arranged the elements in order of increasing relative atomic mass. When he did this he noted that the chemical properties of the elements and their compounds showed a periodic trend. He then arranged the elements by putting those with similar properties below each other into groups. To make his classification work Mendeleev made a few changes to his order:

he left gaps for yet to be discovered elements
he switched the order of a few elements to keep the groups consistent

Until the 1960s, it was widely believed that the Moon was made of material that was flung off Earth during a time when it was ra

zysi [14]

All the other chices give evidence that supports that hypothesisthat the Moon was made of material that was flung off Earth during a time when it was rapidly spinning.

Explanation:

There is an enormous amount of similarities between the minerals in the moon rocks and the rocks on earth, except that for some minerals, like potassium, their quantities are higher on the earth than on the moon.

However, there is still supports for the evidence (by the other choices) that the moon was made from a piece of earth ejected from asteroid impact in primordial earth.Explanation:It’s believed that more than 3.5 billion years during the formation of earth and before it had cooled there were frequent asteroid impacts and one enormous collision ejected a large piece of molten earth into space but within earth’s gravity influence. This piece formed the moon. Evidence of asteroid impacts are frozen in time on the moon surface thanks to the fact that the moon has no atmosphere or tectonic plates movements that wipe off this ‘evidence’.

Which class of organic compound is commonly used in fuels?

Advocard [28]

Among the choices, the best answer is alcohol. However, the most common groups of organic compounds in fuels are the alkanes and alkenes. Alcohol can also be used in fuel, especially bioethanol. Bioethanol is a common additive in fuels for motor vehicles, and is made from corn or sugar.

Identify the state(s) of matter that each property describes.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

1) takes the shape of its container ( liquid and gas).

2) fills all available space (gas)

3) maintains its shape ( solid)

4) can be poured ( liquid)

5) is compressible ( gas)

6) has a fixed volume ( liquid and solid)

Explanation:

Matter is simply defined as anything that has weight and occupies space. It exists in three states, namely: solid, liquid and gaseous states.

The properties of different states of matter includes:

SOLID STATE

--> It has a definite shape: The shape of a solid is fixed; it does not depend on the shape of other materials.

--> It has a definite volume: it occupies its own shape due to the force of cohesion among its molecules.

--> It is tightly packed: The molecular movements of particles are negligible.

LIQUID STATE

--> liquid has a defined volume.

--> it has no definite shape: There is no specific shape of a liquid. It occupies any available space. It's shape depends on the shape of the container into which it is poured.

GASEOUS STATE

--> it has no fixed shape: Due to the distance in the molecules of gas, the gaseous state has no shape. It occupies the shape of its container.

--> It has no fixed volume: it occupies the shape of any container that is closed.

--> It is highly compressible: The particles of gas are far off from one another and there is room for collision.
