Imagine you are given a mystery element. It is, however, a discovered and known element. You may perform a maximum of two observ

ations or tests to determine its identity. Time and money is critical, so you need to prioritize your tests. If you can identify the mystery element with a single test, you get 100 super-geek points from your research lab team.
Pick two tests and justify why you think they will identify the mystery element with certainty. If you think the first test will be enough, explain why.

Choose from these available tests:
• classification into metal, nonmetal, or metalloid
• count of valence electrons
• count of electron shells
• atomic radius (error range: +/- 1 pm)
• electronegativity (error range: +/- 0.1)
• first ionization energy (error range: +/- 10 kJ/mole)
• melting point (error range: +/- 10 C)
• boiling point (error range: +/- 20 C)

The classification of it being a metal, nonmetal, or metalliod will be useful in the process of elimination to determine what it is. Then for the second test, meauring the atomin radius will narrow it down quicker to the mystery elemet's name.

Since you determined what part of the periodic table it's on, then when measuring the atomic radius, you should be able to pinpoint what the element is more surely.

Answer:

Count of Valence electron followed by electron shells

Explanation:

The periodic table has certain very unique properties that help identify the elements.

The number of valence electrons in any element can be determined by the placement of the element in the group. An element from group III will have three valence electrons.

Hence, this test will help locate the group of the element in question.

This test should be followed by the number of electron shells.

In the Periodic table, the placement of any element in the row depends on the number of electron shells. An element from row II will have two electron shell.

These two tests will work like coordinates on the Periodic Table.

For example, the result is Group II, Row 3 is Calcium.

Balance the equation below, and answer the following question: What volume of chlorine gas, measured at STP; is needed to comple
spayn [35]
The balanced chemical reaction would be expressed as follows:

2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl

We are given the amount of sodium metal to be used reaction. This would be the starting value for the calculations. We do as follows:

6.25 g ( 1 mol / 22.99 g ) ( 1 mol Cl2 / 2 mol Na ) ( 22.4 L / 1 mol ) = 3.045 L Cl2 needed

Hope this answers the question.

PLEASE HELP!!!
matrenka [14]

Answer:

d = 0.84 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of wood = 2.85 g

Volume of water = 20.0 mL

Volume of water + wood = 23.4 mL

Density of wood = ?

Solution:

Volume of wood = (Volume of water + wood ) - Volume of water

Volume of wood = 23.4 mL - 20.0 mL

Volume of wood = 3.4 mL

1 mL = 1 cm³

Density of wood:

d = m/v

d =  2.85 g / 3.4cm³

d = 0.84 g/cm³
