Answer:

The two properties of most non metals are high ionization energy and poor electrical conductivity. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is option "1". In general it is known that nonmetals are very poor conductors of heat and electricity. The nonmetals that are solid are normally very brittle and has very little or no metallic luster at all. Nonmetals are highly reactive and show variety of chemical properties. It can also be pointed out that the nonmetals gain electrons very easily.

What is the correct balanced equation for the following equilibrium constant expression?

weeeeeb [17]

The correct answer is 3) 2CO2(g) ⇄ 2CO(g) + O2(g)

this is the correct one because it is a decomposition reaction and all the number of atoms is equal on both sides.

there are 2 C atoms on both sides.

and 4 O atoms on both sides.

and 1) the atoms numbers are equal on both sides but not correct as it not a

correct number as it has 1/2 O2.

and 2) CO2(g) ⇆ CO(g) + O2

the number of O atoms is not equal on both sides of the equation.

we have 2 O atoms on the left side and 3 O atoms on the right side.

so, this not a balanced equation.

4) also not correct 2CO(g) + O2 ⇆ 2CO2

as it is not a decomposition reaction and the 2CO & O2 are as reactants not products.

so the correct answer is 3) 2CO2(g) ⇆ 2CO(g) + O2(g)

Heavy nuclides with too few neutrons to be in the band of stability are most likely to decay by what mode?

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Positron emission

Explanation:

Positron emission involves the conversion of a proton to a neutron. This process increases the mass number of the daughter nucleus by 1 while its atomic number remains the same. The new neutron increases the number of neutrons present in the daughter nucleus hence the process increases the N/P ratio.

A positron is usually ejected in the process together with an anti-neutrino to balance the spins.

In a molecule of calcium sulfide, calcium has two valence electron bonds, and a sulfur atom has six valence electrons. How many

mote1985 [20]

There are none

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

a molecule of calcium sulfide

two valence electron of Calcium(Ca)

six valence electrons of Sulfur(S)

Required

number of lone pairs of electrons

Solution

Lewis structure shows the form of bonds that occur in the valence electrons of an element or compound

Valence electrons are electrons used in a chemical bond

To achieve stability, the element S needs 2 more electrons which are obtained from 2 electrons from the Ca element,

A lone pair electron means refers to an unshared pair of electrons(not bonding to the other atoms)

This condition usually occurs in covalent bonds

As we know, the bond between Ca, which is a group 2 (metal) with Sulfur in group 16, is an ionic bond because it occurs between metal and non-metal ions, so there is no sharing of electrons, but there is a release of electrons from Ca ions to S ions to form an octet. , so all the valence electrons in S are paired
