never [62]2 years ago
5 0
3 valence electrons are transferred in the formation of the compound potassium nitride because nitrogen needs 3 valence electron to become stable, or to have the electron configuration of noble Gases.

Nitrogen requires 3 electrons to have a total of 8 valence electrons.Each potassium atom will transfer one electron.A total of 3 potassium atoms and one nitrogen atom will be involved  in the  formation of a formula unit of potassium nitride.

Why is melting ice cream a physical?
worty [1.4K]

Melting ice cream is a physical change because it is a phase change, the water in the ice cream gains thermal energy and the inter-molecular forces are overcome and the molecules move further apart forming a liquid. It is not a chemical change because no chemical reactions occurred.

notka56 [123]

Answer:

The mass density will be doubled

Explanation:

  • Density is given by dividing the mass of a substance by its volume.
  • An increase in mass causes an increase in density and vice versa, while a  decrease in volume causes an increase in density and volume.
  • Therefore, when the volume is halved, then the density will be doubled if the mass is kept constant.
  • This has no effect on the number of moles as the mass is constant.

What is the difference between thermal energy, temperature, and heat
Rainbow [258]

<span>Thermal energy is the energy that comes from heat. This heat is generated by the movement of tiny particles within an object. The faster these particles move, the more heat is generated.</span>

<span>Heat energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases. Heat energy can be transferred from one object to another, and the transfer or flow due to the difference in temperature between the two objects is called heat.</span>

<span>The kinetic temperature is the variable needed for subjects like heat transfer, because it is the translational kinetic energy which leads to energy transfer from a hot area (larger kinetic temperature, higher molecular speeds) to a cold area (lower molecular speeds) in direct collisional transfer.</span>
