The reaction, 2 C4H10 (g) + 13 O2 (g) = 8 CO2 (g) + 5 H2O (g), is the combustion of butane. A combustion reaction involves the reaction of a hydrocarbon with oxygen producing carbon dioxide and water. This reaction is exothermic which means it releases energy in the form of heat. Therefore, as the reaction proceeds,a heat energy is being given off by the reaction. This happens because the total kinetic energy of the reactants is greater than the total kinetic energy of the products. So, the excess energy should be given off somewhere which in this case is released as heat.
Answer:
d) An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity increases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.
Explanation:
This is an example of a n-type semiconductor. The additional electron introduced to the 'grid' of silicon atoms causes an increase in the conductivity of the silicon. This additional electron is introduced as arsenic loses its extra electron.
Answer:
A biology investigation usually starts with an observation—that is, something that catches the biologist’s attention. For instance, a cancer biologist might notice that a certain kind of cancer can't be treated with chemotherapy and wonder why this is the case. A marine ecologist, seeing that the coral reefs of her field sites are bleaching—turning white—might set out to understand why.
How do biologists follow up on these observations? How can you follow up on your own observations of the natural world? In this article, we’ll walk through the scientific method, a logical problem-solving approach used by biologists and many other scientists.
Explanation:
The answer is b) the highest occupied orbital is a “d”orbital.
Transition metals are metals where the highest energy electrons partially fill the d subshells. There are some elements with complete d subshells but on forming cations they have incomplete d subshells.
These transition metals have some properties that are different from the other metals .
