What is the name for the elements that have some properties of metals and some properties of non-metals
Andrej [43]

Answer: The metalloids are a unique group of elements that share properties of both metals and nonmetals.

Explanation: They're also called the semimetals because of the shared properties of these elements along the dividing line between metals and nonmetals.

Outline the difference between compounds and mixtures. State two examples of each.
alekssr [168]

Compounds are elements and its a pure substance with a gised composition.

Mixtures two or more subtances mixed to together.There are 2 type of mixtures.

Homegenous Mixtures (Solutions)-Two or more substances mixed but is uniform, you cant see the different mixtures.

Ex:Sugar mixed with water.The sugar dissolves and becomes one with the water.

Heterogeneous Mixtures-Two or more substances mixed but is not uniformed.You can see all the substances put into the mixture.

Ex:A salad, you can see whats all mixed in the sald and can pick it apart.

How are the following aspects of a reaction affected by the addition of a catalyst? 1) activation energy of the reverse reaction
snow_tiger [21]

These are four questions and four answers.

Answers:

1) activation energy of the reverse reaction

     b. Decreased

2) Rate of the forward reaction

    a. Increased

3) Rate of the reverse reaction

    a. Increased

4) Activation energy of the forward reaction

    b. decreased

Explanation:

<em>Activarion energy</em> is the energy required by the reactants to form the intermediate transition state and become products.

<em>Catalysts</em> are substances that change the path of the chemical reactions, lowering the activation energy, and thus speeding up the rate of the reactions, since the products can reach the new lower activation energy faster.

The equilibrium reactions are the chemical process in which two reactions, the <em>forward and the reverese reactions</em>, occur simultaneously and at the same rate.  The equlibrium reactions may be represented by:

  • A ⇄ B

Where A → B is the direct or forward reaction, and A ← B is the reverse reaction (note the inversed arrow, from right to left).

For the direct reaction A represents the reactants and B represents the products. On the other hand, B represents the reactants and A represents the reactants of the reverse reaction and A. This, is A is the reactant of the forward reaction and the product of the reverse reaction, while B is the reactant of the reverse reaction and the product of the forward reaction.

Since, <em>the addition of a catalyst</em> lowers the activation energy of the process, the new activation energy is lower for both the forward and the reverse reaction, meaning that:

1. <em>The activation energy of the reverse reaction is decreased</em> (option b. of the first question)

2.<em> The rate of the forward reaction is increased</em> (option a. of the second question)

3. <em>The rate of the reverse reaction is increased</em> (option a. of the third question).

4. <em>Activation energy of the forward reaction is decreased</em> (option b. of the fourth question).

In summary, the addition of a catalyst decreases the activation energy for both forward and reverse reactions, and increases the rate of both forward and reverse reactions.

Relative to the mass of the nucleous of a atom. the mass of electron is​
Paladinen [302]
The number of protons found in the nucleus equals the number of electrons that surround it, giving the atom a neutral charge (neutrons have zero charge). Most of an atom's mass is in its nucleus; the mass of an electron is only 1/1836 the mass of the lightest nucleus, that of hydrogen.Hoped this helped

If you have 10,000 grams of a substance that decays with a half-life of 14 days, then how much will you have after 56 days?
Crank

Answer: 625 grams

Explanation:

14 goes into 56, 4 times.

10,000÷2=5,000 - first half life

5,000÷2=2,500 - second half life

2,500÷2=1,250 - 3rd half life

1,250÷2= 625 - 4th half life

Note: don't type "grams" after 625, just type "625".
