Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.
The 28 is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the element silicon.
ALL silicon atoms have 14 protons in the nucleus, so we can turn this into an equation:
#protons + #neutrons = 28
14 + #neutrons = 28
#neutrons = 14
#protons = 14
Answer:
Different substances have different molecular masses. Thus, equal masses have different numbers of atoms, molecules, or moles. On the other hand, equal numbers of moles of different substances have different masses.
Answer: Pentane C5H12
Explanation:
The boiling point of a substance is simply defined as the temperature whereby a liquid's vapor pressure is equal to the pressure that is surrounding the liquid and hence, the liquid will changes into vapor.
The likely molecular formula for this compound is Pentane i.e C5H12 due to the fact that its boiling point is between Butane with formula C4H10 and Hexane with formula C6H14 boiling points.
