Answer:

The reduced vapor pressure at high altitudes causes a liquid to boil at a lower temperature.

Explanation:

A liquid will change its form when its vapor pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes, the air pressure will be lower since there will be less air above your head compared to the sea level. This means the atmospheric pressure will be lower, and the vapor pressure needed for the liquid will be reduced.  

The pressure is directly proportional to temperature. Since the vapor pressure required is lower, the liquid can start to boil at a lower temperatures.

The _HIGHER__ vapor pressure at high altitudes causes a liquid to boil at a _LOWER___ temperature.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is the pressure applied by the molecule of a liquid at the surface of the liquid as it transitions into a gaseous phase. When the vapor pressure exceeds the atmospheric pressure, this is when the liquid begins to boil. Therefore when the atmospheric pressure is low, then the liquid will boil at lower temperatures, because the vapor pressure of the liquid will overcome the atmospheric pressure at lower temperatures.

The octet rule states that atoms will gain, lose, or share valence electrons to get a full outer shell (orbital). Explain in you
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

In covalent bonding, the octet rule is important because sharing electrons gives both atoms a full valence shell. As a result, each atom can consider the shared electrons to be part of its own valence shell.

Calculate the oxidation numbers of the elements in this equation<br> 2 Al2O3 → 4 Al + 3 O2
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Explanation:

Answer

Open in answr app

The rule used here is that the algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms a molecule is zero.

Al2O32× ( oxidation number of Al)+3× ( Oxidation number of O )  = 0

2× ( Oxidation number of Al) +3(−2)=0

2× ( oxidation number of Al) +6

∴ Oxidation number of Al =+3

What happens to a Lithium atom for it to become an Li+1 ion?
Maru [420]

Answer:

If an atom gains or loses an electron, it bacomes an ion. An atom that gains a negative electron, it becomes a negative ion. If it loses an electron it becomes a positive ion

Explanation:

A lithium atom has 3 protons and 3 electrons. It can lose one of its electrons, making it an ion. It now has more positive protons than electrons so it has an overall positive charge. Therefore it is a positive ion.

A fluorine atom will tend to gain, rather than lose, an electron. By gaining a negative electron, it has an overall negative charge. It has become a negative ion.

Large amounts of energy are required to join two atom's nuclei into a single nucleus and, in turn, create a new element. What is
laila [671]

Answer:  fusion

Explanation:

Nuclear fission : It is defined as a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei (which is an unstable nuclei) into two or more small nuclei (which is a stable nuclei) along with release of high amounts of energy.

Example: The energy released from the process of nuclear fission which is converted into electrical energy that is used in our homes and factories.

Nuclear fusion : It is defined as a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

Example: It occurs in sun and stars where the isotopes of hydrogen called as  Tritium and Deuterium combine together to form a neutron and a helium atom.
