lys-0071 [83]3 years ago
5 0
<span>The student is incorrect because helium has 2 valence electrons and it's in group 18 because the first energy level is full. Although helium is placed in Group 18 which generally has 8 valence electrons, it does not have 8 valence electrons as the student suggested. It was grouped together with the noble gases because it exhibits similar properties with them. </span>

The chemical equation is Mg(s) + O2(g) → MgO(s)
vredina [299]

Answer:

The magnesium will burn until consumed entirely. There is much more oxygen available in the atmosphere than needed to consume the magnesium. Thus the magnesium is the limiting reactant because it determines the amount of product formed.

Explanation:

Mg produces less amount of MgO than O2; therefore Mg is the limiting reagent. O2 produces more amount of MgO than Mg; therefore O2 is the excess reagent.

An asteroid hit the Yucatán Peninsula about 65 million years ago,
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

C. It blocked out sunlight

Explanation:

The asteroid impact 65 million years ago was devastating for lot of the animals and plants, resulting in a mass extinction, most noticeably of the dinosaurs. The impact itself killed a lot of flora and fauna, but it was the effect afterward that was crucial. From this impact, there was so much debris propelled into the atmosphere that the sunlight got blocked. Once this happened, most of the plants died out as they were not able to perform photosynthesis. Because the plants were dying out, the herbivores were left without food, so soon they followed, and because the herbivores died out, the predators died out to because they were left without food. The winners turned out to be the small and not specialized plants and animals.
