Answer:

1)Na2O

let the valency of Na is x

2(x)+(2)=0

2x+2=0

2x=-2

x=-1

2)ZnO

let the valency of Zn is x

x+2=0

x=-2

3)Al2O3

let the valency of Al is x

2(x)+3(2)=0

2x+6=0

2x=-6

x=-3

4)MgO

let the valency of Mg is x

x+2=0

x=-2

Answer:

2

Explanation:

1)Valence number of Na=1 and O=2

1          2

Na      O

Criss Cross it.

2)Valence number of Zn=2 and O=2

2        2

Zn     O

Criss cross it then it will be ZnO. We can't write it as Zn202 we have to omit the numbers.

3)Valence number of Al in this compound is 2. The reason why I said this is because Aluminum has many valence numbers. And O=2

3        2

Al       O

Criss cross it then it will be Al2O3.

4) Valence number of Mg=2 and O=2

2         2

Mg      O

Criss cross it.

Hope it helps!

Crude oil may contain hundreds of different types of hydrocarbons. Some examples include: Butane(C4H10) Dodecane (C12H26) Octane
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Butane and benzene are both compounds. They contain multiple elements bonded together in a specific ratio. Kerosene and gasoline are mixtures because they are combinations of several compounds. Oxygen is an element because it is made up of only one type of atom.

What is the mass number of an ion with 107 electrons, 159 neutrons, and a +1 charge? express your answer as an integer?
Darya [45]
<span>The mass number of an ion is calculated by adding the neutrons and electrons together. In this case 159+107=266. However, since this ion has a +1 charge, you must add 1 to the electrons. This would give a total mass of 267.</span>

How did Ernest Rutherford change the atomic model?
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

D. He showed that most of an atom's mass was located in the atom's

nucleus.

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford changed the atomic model because of his experiment which was the gold foil experiment. A beam of alpha particles was aimed at a piece of gold foil, most particles passed through but some were scattered backward which showed that the middle of an atom (nucleus) is the where most of the mass is located.

What are weak bonds that allow flexibility in an enzyme
34kurt
Enzymes are characterized to have weak bonds because their tertiary structure could easily bend and break because it will have to adjust to the shape of the substrate. It could be done via induced fitting or lock-and-key theory. These weak bonds are intermolecular forces like the London forces, electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding.
