The correct term for each statement is as follows;

Caves being formed by acid rain dissolving underground limestone - weathering
Deltas forming at the mouths of rivers - deposition
Glaciers scraping rocks across the earth’s surface - erosion
Rocks being made smooth by tumbling across a stream bed - weathering
Ponds filling up with sediment and becoming marshes - deposition

<h3>What is weathering?</h3>

Weathering in geology is the mechanical or chemical breaking down of rocks in situ by weather or other causes. options 7 and 14 are the case in this scenario as there is a breakdown of limestone and rocks.

Erosion is the result of having been worn away or eroded, as by a glacier on rock or the sea on a cliff face. Agents of erosion are water, ice or wind. Options 12 is an example of erosion because glaciers are wearing off rocks.

Deposition is the laying down of sediment carried by wind, flowing water, the sea or ice. Sediment can be transported as pebbles, sand and mud, or as salts dissolved in water. Options 8 and 15 are examples of deposition.

An isotope of potassium with a half-life of roughly one billion years is often used in radioactive dating. This isotope decays t

Archy [21]

Answer : The chemical symbol for the element that results from this process is, (Ar) for argon.

Explanation :

Electron capture : In this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. Simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. Mass number does not change in this process.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^A\textrm{Y}$

The equation for the given reaction is,

$_{19}^{40}\textrm{K}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{18}^{40}\textrm{Ar}$

Thus, the chemical symbol for the element that results from this process is, argon (Ar).

Give the formula for an ionic compound formed from each pair of ions

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Please, find the complete question in the picture attached.

Answer:

1. Na₂O

2. AlF₃

3. MgO

4. Ca₃P₂

Explanation:

1. Na⁺ and O²⁻

An ionic compound will be formed when two ions of opposite charge attract each other.

The positive ion is called cation and the negative ion is called anion.

Thus, every ionic compound has a cation and an anion electrostatically bonded.

The ions must combine in a proportion that genders a neutral compound: so you must have as many cations as negative charge has one anion and as many anions as positive charge has one cation.

This is, if the cation has charge +x, there will be x anions, and if the anion has charge -y, there will be y cations.

Simbolically:

$Cation:A^{+x}\\ \\ Anion:B^{-y}\\ \\ Compound:A_yB_x$

As you see, the subscripts for each element in the chemical formula are obtained by the exchage of the charges of the ions.

Then, for Na⁺ and O²⁻, the subscript for Na will be 2 and the subscript for O will be 1; and the formula of the ionic compound formed by this pair ot ions is:

Na₂O

2. Al³⁺ and F⁻

The subscript of Al will be 1 (because the F ion has charge 1-, and the subscript of F will be 3 (because the Al ion has charge +3).

Thus the ionic compound formed by this pair of ions is:

AlF₃

3. Mg²⁺ and S²⁻

The charge 2+ from Mg atom wil become the subscript 2 of S atom, and the charge 2- will become the subscript 2 of Mg atom:

That results in the formula: Mg₂S₂

Except for some special compounds, the chemical formula is simplified, dividing by the least common denominator. In this case, that means that the two 2 subscripts are simplified to 1, and the final chemical formula for the ionic compound formed by this pair of ions is:

4. Ca²⁺ and P³⁻

The charge 2+ from Ca will become subscript 2 for P and the charge 3- whill become subscript 3 for Ca.

Hence, the ionic compound formed by these two ions is:

Ca₃P₂

The Group 8A(18) elements The Group 8A(18) elements are unreactive and are rarely found in combination with other elements. are

valentina_108 [34]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that elements which have completely filled octet when they are present in neutral state then they do not need to gain or lose an electron. Hence, the element becomes unreactive in nature.

For example, neon is a noble gas whose atomic number is 10 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8. As they have completely filled orbitals so they do not react with other elements.

As a result, they are rarely found in combination with other elements.

Thus, we can conclude that the Group 8A(18) elements are unreactive and are rarely found in combination with other elements.

A. Clearly draw the Lewis structure for the PBr4- ion. Show your math where

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Br-P-Br

Explanation:

To calculate the valance electrons, look at the periodic table to find the valance electrons for each atom and add them together. P is in column 5A, so it has 5, Br is in column 7A, so it has 7 (multiply by 4 since there are 4 Br atoms to give 28) and there is a 1- charge, so add one more electron. 5+28+1=34, so there are 34 electrons to place. P would be the central atom, so place it in the middle. Place each Br around the P (as shown above) with a a single line connecting it. Each line represents 2 electrons, so 8 total have been place, leaving 26 remaining. Place 6 electrons around each Br (2 on each of the unbonded sides), which leaves 2 electrons remaining. The remaining pair of unbound electrons will be attached to the P between any two Br atoms. Phosphorus doesn't have to follow the octet rule, so it actually ends up with 10 valance electrons.
