Answer:

The correct option is an atom with a partly filled energy level

Explanation:

An atom with a partially filled energy level means the atom has a partially filled outermost shell which in turn means the atom as valence electrons. The presence of valence electrons in atoms makes them undergo chemical bonding with other atoms of the same/different elements (during chemical reactions).

Atoms with completely filled energy levels (such as the noble gases) have a completely filled outermost shell and hence do not have valence electrons which can take part in bond formation during chemical reactions and hence these group of atoms have low chemical reactivity.

It is more reactive the atom with a partly filled energy level because is less stable than the other case. Stability is inversely proportional to reactivity.

The half-life of tritium (H-3) is 12.3 years. If 48.0mg of tritium is released from a nuclear power plant during the course of a
Rudiy27

Answer:

The amount left after 49.2 years is 3mg.

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of tritium = 12.3 years

Total mass pf tritium = 48.0 mg

Mass remain after 49.2 years = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of half lives.

Number of half lives = T elapsed/ half life

Number of half lives =  49.2 years /12.3 years

Number of half lives =  4

Now we will calculate the amount left after 49.2 years.

At time zero 48.0 mg

At first half life = 48.0mg/2 = 24 mg

At second half life = 24mg/2 = 12 mg

At 3rd half life = 12 mg/2 = 6 mg

At 4th half life =  6mg/2 = 3mg

The amount left after 49.2 years is 3mg.

To what are wax susceptible?
inna [77]
Wax is susceptible to heat. Wax is responds to heat addition. The forces in the wax when heat is added are being broken off and are much lesser as its original state. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.<span />

What are equation for the chemical change that produces water from two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule. And the react
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

h2+O ---> H2O

reactants: H2 & O

products: H2O

Explanation:

The simple reaction that produces a water molecule from H2 and O would be the one written above, even though there are 2 hydrogen molecules, they will form an H2 molecule rather than 2 individual H molecules (almost never seen) the reactants would be your hydrogen and oxygen molecules individually before they bond to form a molecule of water (H2O) which is the product

Magnesium reacts with a certain element to form a compound with the general formula MgX. What would the most likely formula be f
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:K2X

Explanation: Valency can be defined as the combining power of an element. It is the valency that dictates the value an element will have when writing a chemical formula for its compound.

MgX is a compound of magnesium and an element X. The valency of magnesium in most of its compound is +2. Now for the 2 to have been absent in the chemical formula, this shows that the element X itself have a valency if -2 for the valencies of both to have canceled out.

Now considering the element potassium, it is an alkaline metal belonging to group 1 of the periodic table. Hence, it is expected that it has a valency of +1

Forming a compound with element X means there would be an exchange of valencies between the two. We have established that x has a valency of -2. The formula of the compound thus formed by exchanging the valencies of both element would be K2X
