So platinum is a transition metal. In general transition metals are reducers, which means they can give the electrons they have, to the sodium atoms. Also in chemistry we look at sub orbitals rather that shells(2,8,8). So due to the energy from heat, the d orbital split as electrons move to a higher energy level. Some of the electrons are given to the sodium ions and therefore the flame changes colour to yellow.
The excitation of the electrons is caused by them getting energy and so moving up an energy level. This energy is released and the electron returns to it's original state. The energy released, however, does not release in the same direction, but in different/various directions. Therefore the colour of the light changes as some energy is released in the surrounding.
Answer:An increase in temperature commonly will increase the rate of reaction. An growth in temperature will improve the common kinetic electricity of the reactant molecules.

Answer:
Ethane would have a higher boiling point.
Explanation:
In this case, for the lewis structures, we have to keep in mind that all atoms must have <u>8 electrons</u> (except hydrogen). Additionally, each carbon would have <u>4 valence electrons</u>, with this in mind, for methane we have to put the hydrogens around the carbon, and with this structure, we will have 8 electrons for the carbon. In ethane, we will have a bond between the carbons, therefore we have to put three hydrogens around each carbon to obtain 8 electrons for each carbon.
Now, the main difference between methane and ethane is an <u>additional carbon</u>. In ethane, we have an additional carbon, therefore due to this additional carbon, we will have <u>more area of interaction</u> for ethane. If we have more area of interaction we have to give <u>more energy</u> to the molecule to convert from liquid to gas, so, the ethane will have a higher boiling point.
I hope it helps!
Answer:
Conduction
Explanation:
The heat can be transferred in the substances in three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation.
The conduction happens inside the material, usually a solid, and the heat flows as the molecules of the substance are agitated. The convection happens when there are different substances in touch, so it is the heat passage from a solid to a liquid or gas, from a gas to a liquid or vice versa. The radiation occurs between substances that are far away and the heat flows by electromagnetic waves.
Thus, in the wire, the heat flows by conduction.
