Correct Answer: option 1 i.e. C

Reason: 
The the compound of interest i.e.  XCl4, since there are 4 Cl atoms bonded to X. This signifies that the valency of X is 4.

There atomic number of C is 6. It's electronic configuration is giving by 1s2 2s2 2p2. Thus, there are 4 electrons in valence shell of C. This signifies that valency of C is 4. Hence the compound present in present case is CCl4.

(1) C.

The name of the compound is Carbon Tetra Chloride. None of the other elements clearly forms a compound with Cl in that form.

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.

Red light has a wavelength of about 6.5 x 10-7m. Find its frequency. Show all work.
ozzi
For this problem we use the wave equation. It is expressed as the speed (c) is equal to the product of frequency (f) and wavelength (v).

c = v x f

We know the wavelength of the an red light which is 6.5 x 10^-7 m. Now, we solve for the wavelength of the unknown wave to see the relation between the two waves.

2.998 X 10^8 = 5.3 X 10^15 X v
v = 2.998 X 10^8 / (5.3 X 10^15) = 5.657 X 10^-8 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the unknown wave is less than the wavelength of the red light.

From the dry desert of the south to the mountains of the north—Arizona has a varied topography. When residents of Phoenix visit
dedylja [7]

Answer:

The reason is because Flagstaff is at a higher elevation than Phoenix.

Explanation:

The air is thinner at higher elevations. You can google Flagstaff's elevation compared to Phoenix but the simple answer is that air is thinner at higher elevations and some people used to 'thicker' air find it harder to breath, especially after some strenuous exercise.

What are the rules for naming covalent compounds
arsen [322]
<span>1.Remove the ending of the second element, and add "ide" just like in ionic compounds
 2.When naming molecular compounds prefixes are used to dictate the number of a given element present in the compound
3.If there is only one of the first element, you can drop the prefix
<span>4.If there are two vowels in a row that sound the same once the prefix is added (they "conflict"), the extra vowel on the end of the prefix is removed</span></span>
