Answer;

C. seafloor spreading

Explanation;

The theory of seafloor spreading states that new ocean crust is continually being formed, and that this crust is slowly carried away from its point of origin over a period of time.

Paleomagnetism helped explain an unusual observation from the 1950s. Magnetic studies revealed that the ocean floor was comprised of parallel bands of crust having alternating magnetic polarity.These magnetic bands were symmetric about the mid-oceanic ridge.

Explain why ionic compound do not form molecules.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Because a molecule, by definition, has a valence of zero

(neutral charge, stable). Also by definition, an ion has a positive

or negative charge or valence and is not stable.

an element "x" has the election configuration 2,8,3 this element is found in ______group and_____period A.3,llla B.llla,3 C.vlla
iogann1982 [59]

This element is found in group 3A, period 3

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The maximum number of electrons that can be filled in the nth electron shell is 2n²(n=shell)

  • K shell (n = 1) maximum 2 x 1² = 2 electrons
  • L shell (n = 2) maximum 2 x 2² = 8 electrons
  • M shell (n = 3) maximum 2 x 3² = 18 electrons
  • N shell (n = 4) maximum 2 x 4² = 32 electrons

Electron configuration of element X : 2.8.3 , so :

K shell = 2 ⇒1s²

L shell = 8⇒2s²2p⁶

M shell = 3⇒ 3s²3p¹

Block p: group 13-18 (has a 2p-6p configuration), also called a representative element because it includes metals, non-metals and metalloids

The outer shell 3s²3p¹ : located in group 3A and period 3

group⇒valence electron ⇒3

period⇒the greatest value of the quantum number n⇒3

On the following chemical equation, label the acid, the base, the
beks73 [17]

Answer:

HX (aq)    +     H₂O (l)  ⇄      H₃O⁺ (aq)    +     X⁻ (aq)  

Acid                  Base          Conj. acid          Conj. base  

Explanation:

The equation is:

HX (aq) + H₂O (l)  ⇄   H₃O⁺ (aq) + X⁻ (aq)

This is the typical equilibrium for a weak acid. It would complete if we notice the Ka.

HX (aq) + H₂O (l)  ⇄   H₃O⁺ (aq) + X⁻ (aq)    Ka

1 mol of hypothetic HX acid react to 1 mol of water in order to release a proton and make hydronium and generate the X⁻ anion.

HX will be the acid, in this case a weak one and water will be the base. Water is able to accept a proton to make itslef hydronium

Hydronium is the conjugate acid.

The X⁻ will be the conjugate strong base.

This ion can generate the acid form again, that's why it is strong, because it can make hydrolisis.

X⁻ (aq)  +  H₂O (l)  ⇄  HX (aq) +  OH⁻(aq)     Kb

In this case, the anion will be the conjugate base which it takes a proton from water (acid form) to make a conjugate acid, the HX and a conjugate base, OH⁻
