Answer:
Gallium is silvery white and soft enough to be cut with a knife. It takes on a bluish tinge because of superficial oxidation. Unusual for its low melting point (about 30 °C [86 °F]), gallium also expands upon solidification and supercools readily, remaining a liquid at temperatures as low as 0 °C (32 °F).
Answer:
chemical
Explanation:
Chemical weathering, which is the decomposition of a rock by the alteration of its chemical composition.
Answer:
![K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][HCO_3^-]}{[H_2CO_3]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_a%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D%5BHCO_3%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BH_2CO_3%5D%7D)
Explanation:
Several rules should be followed to write any equilibrium expression properly. In the context of this problem, we're dealing with an aqueous equilibrium:
- an equilibrium constant is, first of all, a fraction;
- in the numerator of the fraction, we have a product of the concentrations of our products (right-hand side of the equation);
- in the denominator of the fraction, we have a product of the concentrations of our reactants (left-hand side o the equation);
- each concentration should be raised to the power of the coefficient in the balanced chemical equation;
- only aqueous species and gases are included in the equilibrium constant, solids and liquids are omitted.
Following the guidelines, we will omit liquid water and we will include all the other species in the constant. Each coefficient in the balanced equation is '1', so no powers required. Multiply the concentrations of the two products and divide by the concentration of carbonic acid:
Answer is: C) the fact that the number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom is greater in the case of water.
Carbon(IV) oxide is nonpolar because CO₂ is linear molecule and the oxygen atoms are symmetrical (bond angles 180°).
Water is polar because of the bent shape of the molecule.
Oxygen atom in water molecule has sp3 hybridization. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is approximately 104.45°.
Oxygen atom has atomic number 8, it means it has eight protons and eight electrons, so atom has neutral charge. Oxygen is a nonmetal.
Electron configuration of oxygen atom: ₈O 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.
Oxygen atom has six valence electrons
, two lone pairs and two electrons that form two sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms.
Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6, which means it has 6 protons and six electrons. Four valence electrons are in 2s and 2p orbitals.
Electron configuration of carbon atom: ₆C 1s² 2s² 2p².
In carbon dioxide, carban has sp hybridization with no lone pairs.
Answer:
A and D are the answers
