Secondary growth is important to plants because it involves thickening of the plant axis.It also increased amounts of vascular tissue.
I tried sorry if it’s not worded perfect :)
Option C: elements produce spectra with only few distinct lines.
The spectra are not continuos and are different for every element. This permits to identify elements.
Answer:
3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Explanation
This is a redox reaction.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet or duplet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
- [Ne]= (1s²) (2s² 2p⁶)
A combination of both the reactions( Half-reactions) leads to a redox reaction.
Let us look at initial configurations of Al and Cl
[Al]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹
[Cl]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
Hence, Al can lose 3 electrons to achieve octet config.
and, Cl can gain 1e to achieve nearest noble gas config. [Ar]
This reaction can be rewritten, by clearly mentioning the oxidation states of all the entities involved.
Al⁰ + Cl⁰ → (Al⁺³)(Cl⁻)₃
Here, Aluminum is undergoing an oxidation(i.e loss of electrons) from: 0→(+3)
Chlorine undergoes a reduction half reaction (i.e gain of electrons) from: 0→(-1). There are 3 such chlorine atoms, hence 3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Explanation:
A mixture in which there is uniform distribution of solute particles into the solvent is known as a homogeneous mixture.
For example, sugar dissolved in water is a homogeneous mixture.
On the other hand, a mixture in which there is uneven distribution of solute particles into the solvent is known as a heterogeneous mixture.
For example, sand present in water is a heterogeneous mixture.
Comment on given situations will be as follows.
(a) Air in a closed bottle - It is a homogeneous mixture because there will be even distribution of other gases that are present in air.
(b) Air over New York City - It is a heterogeneous mixture because there will be presence of some dust particles, fog or smoke into the air. Distribution of all these particles will be uneven. This will make air over New York City heterogeneous in nature.
