Alkaline earth metal are the elements present in II group in the periodic table and are known as 'Metals' and have a charge of +2.

Alkaline earth metals - Be , Mg Ca, Sr , Ba, Ra

Halogens are present in VII A group in the periodic table and are 'Non-metals' and have a charge of -1.

Halogens - F, Cl, Br, I, At

When Alkaline earth metal (metals) combine with Halogens (non-metals) the compound formed will be ionic compound and the formula of the compound will be based on the charges of the element.

When we write the formula of the ionic compound the charges of the elements get criss crossed.

For example - Mg (Alkaline earth metal) have a charge of +2 and Cl (Halogen) have a charge of -1 and when they combine to form the formula their charges get criss crossed and we will get $Mg_{1}Cl_{2}$ or $MgCl_{2}$

When an alkaline earth metal, A, reacts with a halogen, X, the formula of the Ionic compound formed should be $AX_{2}$

How are Parkinson's disease and ALS similar?

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Both diseases affect the control of voluntary muscles.

Explanation:

Parkinson's disease is a progressive brain disease that affects movement. It affects the nerve cells that produce dopamine in the part of the brain called substantia nigra. The symptoms include shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with walking, balance, and coordination. Symptoms get worse with time, often leaving people with difficulty walking and talking.

ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a progressive nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The first symptoms usually involve muscle weakness, and as the disease progresses, it results in the loss of muscle control.

Scientists don't know the exact cause of these diseases. As the cause is not known, there is no exact way to prevent them. There is no cure for them, either. The treatment is focused on the management of symptoms.

This is why the third option is the correct one.

A gas occupies 200ml at a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and 76mmHg pressure. Find the volume at -3degree Celsius with the pr

sergey [27]

Answer:

184.62 ml

Explanation:

Let $p_1, v_1,$ and $T_1$ be the initial and $p_2, v_2,$ and $T_2$ be the final pressure, volume, and temperature of the gas respectively.

Given that the pressure remains constant, so

$p_1=p_2$ ...(i)

$v_1$ = 200 ml

$T_1= 26 ^{\circ}C = 273+26 =299$ K

$T_2= 3 ^{\circ}C = 273+3 =276$ K

From the ideal gas equation, pv=mRT

Where p is the pressure, v is the volume, T is the temperature in Kelvin, m is the mass of air in kg, R is the specific gas constant.

For the initial condition,

$p_1v_1=mRT_1 \\\\mR= \frac{p_1v_1}{T_1}\cdots(ii)$

For the final condition,

$p_2v_2=mRT_2 \\\\mR= \frac{p_2v_2}{T_2}\cdots(iii)$

Equating equation (i), and (ii)

$\frac{p_1v_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2v_2}{T_2}$

$\frac{v_1}{T_1}=\frac{v_2}{T_2}$ [from equation (i)]

$v_2=\frac{T_2}{T_1} \times v_1$

Putting all the given values, we have

$v_2=\frac{276}{299} \times 200 = 184.62 \; ml$

Hence, the volume of the gas at 3 degrees Celsius is 184.62 ml.

I don’t know the answers to these pls help

stepladder [879]

Answer:

4. Option C. Pentane.

5. Option D.

Explanation:

4. Hydrocarbons are compound containing carbon and hydrogen only. Hydrocarbons are said to be saturated when they contain only carbon to carbon single bond. All alkanes are saturated hydrocarbon.

The correct answer is pentane.

5. Isomerism is the phenomenon whereby two or more compounds have the same molecular formula but different structural patterns. The compounds involved are called isomers.

A careful observation of the diagram above shows that only option D satisfied the definition of Isomerism as the two compound both have the same molecular formula as C3H8O but different structural patterns.

Note: option C does not contain isomers as Isomerism can not occur in a compound having just 1 carbon atom.
