The elements of the "Noble" gases group is nonreactive. The reason for this is that noble gases are always or most of the time at room temperature.<span />

Answer:

The elements of group 18 or group of "Noble Gases" are non-reactive elements.

Explanation:

The reactivity of an element measures the tendency to combine with others. In the formation of compounds there is a tendency to catch, lose or share electrons between atoms.

The noble gases are placed in group 18 of the periodic table. The seven gases are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), radon (Rn) and oganeson (Og).  These gases have a very low chemical reactivity, that is, little combination with other elements of the periodic table. For that reason they are called inert gases. This behavior is due to its electronic configuration, because its outermost layer or valence layer is always complete, being the stable element by itself, without the need to borrow or share electrons.

As mentioned, noble gases are not very reactive, that is, they do not usually form bonds between atoms. This means that they don't react much with other substances, they don't even react between atoms of the same gas. The exceptions to this rule are few, and usually involve heavier noble gases, such as xenon or radon.

In summary, the elements of group 18 or group of "Noble Gases" are non-reactive elements.

What is the mole fraction of solute and the molal concentration for an aqueous solution that is 20.0% NaOH by mass?
never [62]
Let's assume we have 100 grams of this solution, and therefore 20.0 grams of NaOH, and 80.0 grams of water.

NaOH has a molar mass of 40.00 grams/mole, so we can convert NaOH to moles: (20.0 grams of NaOH) * (1 mole NaOH/40.00 grams NaOH) = 0.500 moles NaOH.

Next, we have a molar mass of water of 18.02 g/mol, so we can convert water to moles:

80.0 grams H2O * (1 mole H2O/18.02 grams) = 4.44 moles H2O
The mole fraction of NaOH is the moles of NaOH over the total moles of all parts of the solution. Therefore:

(0.500 moles NaOH)/(0.500 moles + 4.44 moles) = 0.101
0.101 = mole fraction of solute

The molal concentration is defined as the number of moles of solute over the number of kilograms of solvent (water).
We have 0.500 moles of NaOH, and 0.0800 kg of water, so it becomes:
(0.500 moles NaOH)/(0.0800 kg H2O solvent) = 6.25 molal solution

Scientists DO NOT base their knowledge about a subject on _____________.
Ronch [10]
Opinion? Theory? Are there options for the answer? Generally scientists are sure to keep their findings un-biased, so keeping their own personal opinions or feelings out of the research is essential. They WOULD base their knowledge on facts and Scientific Theory which is slightly different then general theory.

Which statement best describes the difference between a scientific theory and a scientific law
Luden [163]
A scientific law is a statement based on repeated observation. It will always be true under a certain set of circumstances.

A scientific theory is well supported (by evidence) explanation for an occurrence in the natural world.

A scientific law does not need to include an equation.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

The proteins in the body are made of combinations of individual amino acids, known as the building blocks of protein. Amino acid
Anettt [7]

Answer:

side chain

Explanation:

Each amino acid is bound to a unique chemical group called its side chain. It is this side chain that makes each amino acid different, giving each amino acid a unique set of chemical properties. The side chain is often abbreviated as an R group and denoted with the letter R for short.
