Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any or series of chemical reactions.

A compound can be broken done by chemical reactions

<h3>Element and compound</h3>

An element can be defined as species of atoms having a certain number of protons in their nuclei and pure substance of that species.  

Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any or series of chemical reactions.

A compound can be defined as a chemical substance  that is composed of numerous identical molecules containing atoms from more than one element and held together by chemical bonds.

RUDIKE [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1379.4 Joules

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The quantity of heat is calculated multiplying the mass of a substance by heat capacity and the change in temperature.

Therefore;

Quantity of heat = Mass × specific heat capacity × Change in temperature

Q = mcΔT

In this case;

The substance dissolved in water gained heat while water lost heat energy.

Thus, Heat gained by the substance = heat lost by water

Heat associated with the water  

Mass of water = 75 g

Change in temperature = 4.4°C

Specific heat capacity =  4.18 J/g·⁰C

Heat = mcΔT

        = 75 g × 4.18 J/g·⁰C × 4.4 °C

        =1379.4 Joules

Explanation:

The most abundant metallic element found in the human body is calcium as it is present in the bones teeth and metabolism of the kidney

99 %  of the calcium in the human body are found in the bones while the remaining 1 % circulates in the blood as ions

The bones of the vertebrate are made up of calcium salts such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate and calcium fluoride.

How am I ment to label this diagram
lora16 [44]
I believe you have to label out the positive metal ion and the delocalized electrons. They're the 2 things that makes up a metal structure.

In the diagram, the circles with the + symbol are the positive metal ions, since + represents positive. And the remaining - circles are the delocalized electrons, as electrons are negative.

And for how a metal conducts electricity, since they're delocalized mobile electrons present in any metal structures, they're able to move away from the metal to the positive side of the battery and more electrons can replace their place flowing from the negative side.
