<u>Answer:</u>
Carbon and silicon both are tetravalent elements as compared to germanium, tin, and lead which are divalent.
That's because Ge, tin, and Pb show inert pair effect and has a greater nuclear effective charge on the 's' electrons due to poor shielding effect. .That's why these elements are not able to share their valence electrons while carbon and silicon does and show "catenation" which is the ability to form long chain molecules.
Answer:
A) 3.6 cm
Explanation:
Accuracy comes down to how precisely you can read the length on a given scale. Here since the smallest increment is centimeter, we can go only one decimal beyond to estimate. This is because you can usually estimate to only one decimal place beyond the closest marks on any measuring.
So, the answer should be 3.6 cm.
Here's a document that explains it well: https://www.auburn.wednet.edu/cms/lib03/WA01001938/Centricity/Domain/1360/1_Uncertainty.pdf
Hope that's right!
Answer:
C. Kidneys filter wastes from the bloodstream and produce urine
Explanation:
Answer: a) 
: Decomposition
b) 
: double displacement
c) 
: Synthesis (Combination)
d) 
: redox
Explanation:
Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.
A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.
Synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction in which two reactants are combining to form one product.
Redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction takes place in one single reaction. The oxidation number of one element increases and the oxidation number of other element decreases.
Answer:
Mg
Explanation:
The standard reduction potentials are
<u>E°/V
</u>
Au³⁺(aq ) + 3e⁻ ⟶ Au(s); 1.42
Hg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⟶ Hg(l); 0.85
Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ ⟶ Ag(s); 0.80
Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu(s); 0.34
Mg2+(aq) + 2e- ⟶ Mg(s); -2.38
The more negative the standard reduction potential, the stronger the metal is as a reducing agent.
Mg is the only metal with a standard reduction potential lower than that of Cu, so
Only Mg will react spontaneously with Cu²⁺.
