Well, when an atom attains a stable valence electron, it means that the outer electrons are complete and so cannot attain any more electrons. For the first shell, it is complete when it has 2 electrons, the second shell is complete when it has 8 electrons, all the other shells also have a particular number when complete. Anyway, i believe the answer is HYDROGEN because when HYDROGEN combines with another atom of HYDROGEN, the outer shell is completed. This is because HYDROGEN has only 1 electron. If the two HYDROGENS, which both have 1 electron combine, they make the electrons 2, which is complete for the first shell, HYDROGEN ends in the first shell. Since the electrons become 2, the shell is at stable valence. In all the other options, this happens;
NEON- It has 10 electrons, 2 in the first shell and 8 in the second. So the the shells are already complete, so it can't bond with any thing, which is completely against the question.
RADON- Radon has 86 electrons.
HELIUM- Helium has 2 electrons, so the shell is already full, and cannot bond, so it goes against the question. The question says BY BONDING.
 So the answer is definitely 4) HYDROGEN
Hope i helped. Have a nice day, by the way, i'm very sure it's hydrogen.

Which transition represents a time when water molecules are moving closer together? Frost forms on a window pain. Sleet turns to
Anettt [7]
The correct answer here is C. Dew forms on the grass.

Water is a polar substance, which means it has many unique properties. One of which, is its ability to adhere and cohere to surfaces and substances. This particular question is asking about the cohesive properties of water, meaning it’s ability to stick to itself (through bonding.) The only answer choice that represents a situation where water is linking up with other molecules of water are dew drops. The water comes together using cohesion to form the drop and hen the water’s high surface tension properties meet the dew drop’s shape. The other answer choices describe alternate processes like: freezing, melting, and evaporation, respectively.

I hope this helps! :)

Question 20 (1 point)
romanna [79]

Answer:

A. The ratio of the element in glucose is different than in ethanol

Explanation:

The compounds given are;

      Glucose      C₆H₁₂O₆

     Ethanol         C₂H₆O

The two compounds given are different from one another. But they have the same elemental composition.

   Ethanol is made up of Carbon, hydrogen and Oxygen and so also, Glucose

Now,

  The number of atoms in both compounds are different;

                                   Number of atoms

                        C                             H                     O

Glucose           6                             12                      6

Ethanol            2                              6                       1

How would you determine which isotope pair to use for a particular material?
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Different types of isotopes are used for different materials or objects. For radiometric dating, uranium-235 is considered best for it while carbon-14 is used for dating of rocks. It is also used for dating of wood samples.

Explanation:

Carbon-14 and uranium-235 are used for different materials or objects for measuring the age of these materials. These two isotopes are radioactive in nature which means they emit gamma radiations which allow us to find the age of different objects. Carbon-14 has a low half life so it can be used for those objects which are present before thousands of years while uranium-235 is used for materials which are millions of years old due to high half life.

What is the purpose of adding 0. 1% agar to the trypticase nitrate broth when conducting the nitrate reduction test?.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Agar is used to assist establish an anaerobic environment that promotes nitrate reduction.

Nitrate Reduction test:

  • The nitrate in the broth is converted to nitrite by organisms that can produce the nitrate reductase enzyme, which can then be further converted to nitric oxide, nitrous oxide, or nitrogen.
  • Anaerobic respiration and denitrification are two processes that can convert nitrate to a variety of compounds.
  • While denitrification only reduces nitrate to molecular nitrogen, anaerobic respiration employs nitrate as the bacterium's final electron acceptor, reducing it to a range of chemicals.
  • The nitrate reduction test is based on the detection of nitrite and its capacity to produce a red precipitate (prontosil), which is a water-soluble azo dye, when it combines with sulfanilic acid to create a complex (nitrite-sulfanilic acid).
