<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For 1:</u> The correct answer is Option A.

<u>For 2:</u> The correct answer is substances on the periodic table cannot be broken down into other substances and are therefore elements.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For 1:</u>

Oxygen is the 16th element of the periodic table. Atomic number of an element determines the number of protons present in that element. So, the number of protons in oxygen atom is 16.

Elements in a periodic table are distributed in 7 Periods and 18 Groups.

Periods are the horizontal lines (rows) in a periodic table.

Groups are the vertical lines (columns) in a periodic table.

Elements that belong to same group show similar chemical properties because they have same number of valence electrons.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

  • <u>For 2:</u>

Elements are defined as the chemical species that have similar kind of atoms. All the atoms in an element have same atomic number.

Elements cannot be broken down into other substances.

<u>For Example:</u> Sodium, oxygen etc..

Hence, the correct answer is substances on the periodic table cannot be broken down into other substances and are therefore elements.

The answer is b. Start over continually

Explanation:

The two cycles involves a continuous process as long as the reactants are present under suitable conditions. The cycle happens all the time due to it being necessary to produce important products all the time for the body system.

A good example involves the existing Carbon dioxide and water reacting together to get converted into substance that could provide energy (ATP and NADH) such as Glucose.

How to find electronegativity differences
lidiya [134]
To calculate electronegativity, start by going online to find an electronegativity table. You can then assess the quality of a bond between 2 atoms by looking up their electronegativities on the table and subtracting the smaller one from the larger one. If the difference is less than 0.5, the bond is nonpolar covalent.
