7. Interpret Data A company plans to make an electronic device. They need to use an element that has chemical behavior similar t

o that of silicon (Si) and lead (Pb).
The element must have an atomic mass greater than that of sulfur (S), but less than that of cadmium (Cd), Use the periodic table to determine which element the company will use.

Germanium (Ge) is an element that has chemical behavior similar to that of silicon (Si) and lead (Pb). As it has an atomic mass greater than that of sulfur (S), but less than that of cadmium (Cd).

<h3>Why does the element of the same group have similar chemical behavior?</h3>

The chemical behavior of elements depends on the number of valence electrons in their outermost shell. Elements placed in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. Therefore, elements placed in the same group of the periodic table have similar chemical properties.

The elements having a similar outer electronic configuration in their atoms are arranged in the same group of the periodic table. These valence electrons are responsible chemical properties and reactivities of the elements.

Therefore, silicon and lead can be replaced by any element belonging to the same group in which Si and Pb are present. So we have germanium and tin. But germanium is the element that has an atomic mass greater than sulfur (S), but less than cadmium (Cd).

Carbon diselenide (CSe2) is a liquid at room temperature. The normal boiling point is 125°C, and the melting point is –45.5°C. C
Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation:  The strengths of the inter molecular forces varies as follows -

        CO_{2}< CS_{2} < CSe_{2}

The normal boiling point of CSe2 is 125°C and that of CS2 is 116°C, which explains the trend that as we move down the group, the boiling point of e compound increases as the size increases.

This usually happens because larger and heavier atoms have a tendency to exhibit greater inter molecular strengths due to the increase in size . As the size increases, the valence shell electrons move far away from the nucleus, thus has a greater tendency to attract the temporary dipoles.

And larger the inter molecular forces, more tightly the electrons will be held to each other and thus more thermal energy would be required to break the bonds between them.

A typical virus is 5x10-6 cm in diameter. if avogadro's number of these virus particles were laid in a row, how many kilometers
Debora [2.8K]
Answer is: line be long 3,011·10¹³ kilometers.
diametar of virus = 5·10⁻⁶ cm ÷ 100000 = 5·10⁻¹¹ km.
line lenght = 5·10⁻¹¹ km · 6,023·10²³.
line lenght = 3,011·10¹³ km.
Avogadro number = 6,023·10²³.
1 cm = 10⁻² m = 10⁻⁵ km.

What energy transformations occur each time the skateboarder rolls up on the ramp? ( I will try to mark you ) (7th grade science
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy of motion. The faster skaters move, the more kinetic energy they have. In a halfpipe, energy is constantly transformed between potential (at the top) and kinetic (as they travel down the sides) as the skater goes back and forth between the ramps.

What type of chest tube system does this statement describe?
Komok [63]

Answer:

<em>Dry suction chest tube system</em>

Explanation:

<em>The dry suction drains that are self-regulating today use a small, adjustable regulator installed into the drain. </em>

So long as there is enough air flow from the suction of the wall (that will be shown on the drain) it will respond correctly to changes in the pressure of the source or the patient to retain suction at the drain level.

It's also a quiet mode of activity.
