Answer:

<u>The correct answer is X</u>

<u />

Explanation:

First have some idea about : Valency , Metals and non- metals.

Valency : It is the combining capacity of elements . The elements combine to other elements to gain stability . They always try to complete their octet(8 electrons in the outermost shell)

For Example : Na has 11 electron

Its electronic configuration is : 2 ,8 ,1 (2+8+1 = 11)

First shell contain maximum = 2 electron

2nd shell = maximum 8 electron

3 shell = maximum 18 electron

When it remove 1 electron from outermost shell , it is left with 2 ,8 configuration. Now , its outer most shell has 8 electron . so it get stable and show +1 valency.

When the element looses electron , it get positive charge

When the element gain electron it get negative charge

Metals: those element which show +1 , +2 , +3 valency are considered as metals

Non- metals = Those metals which show the valency of -1 , -2 ,-3 are considered as Non- Metals.

Questions:

1. T = 7 proton

Electronic configuration = 2 , 5

It gains (-ve charge) 3 electron to achieve complete octet(5+3 = 8) = -3 valency

It is non- metal

2. Q=15

Its electronic configuration = 2 ,8 , 5

It gains (-ve charge) 3 electron to achieve complete octet(5+3 = 8) = -3 valency

It is non- metal

3.X = 12

Its electronic configuration = 2 ,8 , 2

It loses (+ve charge) 2 electron to achieve complete octet( 2 , 8) = + 2 valency

It is  metal

4.Z = 17

Its electronic configuration = 2 ,8 , 7

It gains (-ve charge) 1 electron to achieve complete octet(7+1 = 8) = -1 valency

It is non- metal

<u>There is only one metal = X</u>

How do you explain the relatively high conductivity of tap water compared to a low or zero conductivity for distilled water?
gladu [14]
Tap water contains many dissolved ions that are required to carry an electric current, whilst distilled water contains no or relatively low amounts of dissolved ions. the absence of ions in the distilled water accounts for the low to zero conductivity of the water

hope that helps!

Which of these is a chemical property of a substance? texture ductility reactivity conductivity
beks73 [17]

Reactivity is a chemical property of a substance. According to EPA regulations, it is normally unstable and readily

undergoes violent change without detonating. it can explode or violently react when exposed to water, when heated, or under STP.

How many simple distillation columns are required to purify a stream containing five components into five 'pure"products? Sketch
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: one simple distillation column is required to separate the stream into five pure products. With four different flat bottom flask, for collection of the distilled products

Explanation: simple distillation works with the difference in boiling points of the liquid to be separated. For the separation of five different constituent to be possible, we have to know the boiling points of the constituents.

For your understanding, let's define constituents in the liquid to be A, B, C, D, E. And the boiling points increases respectively. Start by heating the liquid to the boiling point of A to extract A. After a while check if the constituents A is still dropping in the flat bottom flask, if it has stopped dropping, it simply means that we have extracted all A constituents in the liquid, label the Flask A. Get another flask to extract constituent B.

Heat the mixture to the boiling point of B, after a while check if constituent B is still dropping in the flat bottom flask, if it has stopped dropping,it means that we have extracted all B constituent in the liquid, label the Flask B. Get another flask for C.

Repeat the same process for C and D.

After Extracting D we don't need to distillate E because we already have a pure form of E inside to the conical flask.

pyrite is a mineral composed of 46.5 mass % iron and 53.5 mass % sulfur. determine the empirical formula for calcocite.
padilas [110]

The empirical formula for pyrite is FeS2.

HOW TO CALCULATE EMPIRICAL FORMULA:

  • The empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of constituents element of a compound. The empirical formula of pyrite can be calculated as follows:

46.5 mass % Fe = 46.5g of Fe

53.5 mass % S = 53.5g of S

  • Next, we divide each element's mass value by its molar mass

Fe = 46.5g ÷ 56g/mol = 0.83mol

S = 53.5g ÷ 32g/mol = 1.67mol

  • Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (0.83mol)

Fe = 0.83mol ÷ 0.83 = 1

S = 1.67mol ÷ 0.83 = 2.014

Approximately, the ratio of Fe to S is 1:2. Therefore, the empirical formula of pyrite is FeS2.
