Answer:
b. halogens
Explanation:
The elements of group 17 are called halogens. These are six elements Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Astatine. Halogens are very reactive these elements cannot be found free in nature. Their chemical properties are resemble greatly with each other. As we move down the group in periodic table size of halogens increases that's way fluorine is smaller in size as compared to other halogens elements. Their boiling points also increases down the group which changes their physical states.
Answer:
What best describes the concept of weight is the force on an object due to its mass and gravity.
Explanation:
Weight is the force with which gravity pulls a body or object towards the earth. It is a physical unit that involves both the force of gravity and the mass that an object has.
In general, the terms mass and weight are different, being the mass a characteristic of the body -without influence of other factors- and the weight is the force with which the gravity pushes the mass of that same body.
Regarding the other options:
- <em>The amount of space an object takes up
, corresponds to the volume of a body.</em>
- <em>The amount of matter in an object
, corresponds to the mass.</em>
- <em>The force on an object due to its speed and location, is related to the movement of a body.</em>
Answer:
(1) cathode: Y
(2) anode X
(3) electrons in the wire flow toward: Y
(4) electrons in the wire flow away from: X
(5) anions from the salt bridge flow toward X
(6) cations from the salt bridge flow toward Y
(7) gains mass: Y
(8) looses mass X
Explanation:
The voltaic cell uses two different metal electrodes, each in an electrolyte solution. The anode will undergo oxidation and the cathode will undergo reduction. The metal of the anode will oxidize, going from an oxidation state of 0 (in the solid form) to a positive oxidation state, and it will become an ion. At the cathode, the metal ion in the solution will accept one or more electrons from the cathode, and the ion’s oxidation state will reduce to 0. This forms a solid metal that deposits on the cathode. The two electrodes must be electrically connected to each other, allowing for a flow of electrons that leave the metal of the anode and flow through this connection to the ions at the surface of the cathode. This flow of electrons is an electrical current that can be used to do work, such as turn a motor or power a light.
Answer: Alkaloids
A class of substances known as alkaloids are used for their medicinal properties.
Explanation:
Alkaloids are small but complex organic substances with at least one nitrogen atom in its ring structure. Hence, they have strong basic properties, and are produced in naturally by some plants.
Examples of alkaloids and their medicinal properties are as follows:
- caffeine, used in certain drug and drinks to stimulate the nervous system
- morphine, used to reduce pain and induce sleep in humans.
- cocaine, nicotine etc
