Answer:

Grease is insoluble in water but soluble in kerosene

Explanation:

The molecules in grease are non polar molecules and so can not react with water which is polar to generate enough solvation energy. On the other hand kerosine is non polar so reacts with grease to generate enough solvation energy to dissolve it.

Which is true for every atom of an element?
antoniya [11.8K]

C. It has mass and volume

Explanation:

Every atom of an element has mass and volume. Mass is the amount of substance it contains this is usually a function of their subatomic particles.

The bulk of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus where we have protons and neutrons. Electrons do not really add much to the mass of an atom.

Atoms also have specific volume.

  • The reason for our selection is that atoms are the smallest particle of matter.
  • Matter is anything that has weight and occupies space.
  • Since it is matter, it must have specific weight and volume

Two solid samples each contain sulfur, oxygen, and sodium, only. These samples have the same color, melting point, density, and
katovenus [111]
<span>The correct answer is 1. compound. There are three elements and not just one so it's not element. Mixtures wouldn't have the same properties that you described but these do so it's a compounds. Solution is not a solid thing but rather a liquid one. The two samples are therefore compounds.</span>

What is the frequency of the sinusoidal graph?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

For finding frequency, we need to first find the period of the graph.

The period of a sinusoidal graph is the time interval in which it repeats its pattern.

In the graph, we can see, after 1/period time, it repeats its pattern.

Hence the period of the graph is  \pi /2.

Now we need to find its frequency 1/\pi /2

The formula for frequency is 2/\pi

This is the answer

i hope you pass the assignment

try your best!

15. transition metals has ____ valence electrons
Gemiola [76]

2 valence electrons

Explanation:

Most transition metals have 2 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the sum total of all the electrons in the highest energy level (principal quantum number n). Most transition metals have an electron configuration that is ns2(n−1)d , so those ns2 electrons are the valence electrons.
