Answer:
The ancient Greeks believed in the four elements of air, earth, fire, and water. The Greek philosopher Empedocles is known for originating the theory of these classic four elements being the basis of all things.
Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.
Answer:
Solution for A gas has a volume of 340.0 mL at 45.90 degree celsius. What is the new temperature of the gas, in kelvin, if the volume increased to 550.0 mL.
Missing: oC. | Must include: oC.
Explanation:
Answer:
transmutation, conversion of one chemical element into another. A transmutation entails a change in the structure of atomic nuclei and hence may be induced by a nuclear reaction (q.v.), such as neutron capture, or occur spontaneously by radioactive decay, such as alpha decay and beta decay .
Answer: The elements with properties intermediate between those of metals and nonmetals are called semimetals (or metalloids).
