Answer:

The subscripts represent the relative mass of each type of atom in the compound.

Explanation:

In a chemical compound, the subscripts simply identify the relative number of atoms of each element present. For instance, the formula of aluminum chloride AlCl3 tells us that the relative ratio of aluminum atoms to chlorine atoms is 1:3. One aluminium atom is surrounded by three three chlorine atoms in the crystal lattice of the compound. It tells nothing about the relative masses of each element present in the compound. The subscripts change for the same element in different compounds. For instance, in aluminum oxide, Al2O3, the subscript of aluminum is now two and not one as in aluminum chloride.

What power source uses the earths internal heat
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Geothermal power comes from Earth's internal heat

Explanation:

The description applied to power sources tends to match the names applied to the source of energy. Sometimes Latin, or other word derivations are used.

For example, "hydro-" refers to water, so it is no surprise that hydroelectric power comes from the movement of water. Of course, "nuclear" refers to the nuclei of the atoms that are split to release energy in a nuclear power plant. Similarly, "geo-" refers to Earth, and "thermal" refers to heat, so "geothermal" energy is the name given to energy derived from Earth's heat.

How do i balance the first chemical reaction above?? plz plz help
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

2K +F₂→ 2KF

Explanation:

When we balance an equation, we are trying to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the arrow.

On the left side of the arrow, there is 1 K atom and 2 F atoms. On the right, there is 1 K and 1 F atom.

Since the number of K atoms is currently balanced, balance the number of F atoms.

K +F₂→ 2KF

Now, that the number of F atoms is balanced on both sides, check if the number of K atoms are balanced.

<u>Left</u>

K atoms: 1

F atoms: 2

<u>Right</u>

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

The number of K atoms is not balanced.

2K +F₂→ 2KF

<u>Left</u>

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

<u>Right</u>

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

The equation is now balanced.

Which atom would tend to gain 1 valence electrons from another atom in order to become stable
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.  

So, in order to attain stability it tends to gain one electron from a donor atom. Therefore, a chlorine ion is formed as Cl^{-1}.

As it gains only one electron that is why, -1 charge occurs.

Whereas Ar is a noble gas with atomic number 18. As it has completely filled octet so it will be unreactive in nature as it is already stable.

Similarly, He is also a noble gas so it is unreactive in nature.

Atomic number of boron (B) is 5 with electronic distribution 2, 3. So, in order to attain stability it needs to lose 3 electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that Cl is the atom which tends to gain 1 valence electron from another atom in order to become stable.

How can acids cause chemical weathering
scoray [572]
Acid rain slowly dissolves rocks due to chemical reactions between the acid and the minerals in the rock. Differential Weathering: Softer, less resistant rocks wear away at a faster rate than more weather resistant rocks. More exposure to acid rain results in more rapid weathering.
