Classification systems are mental models that we create to make sorting things simpler and more efficient. We make compromises to emphasize certain details and hide others based on their perceived relevance to achieving the outcomes we seek. Even if the original model was nearly perfect, you should expect the inputs provided and outcomes desired to change as time goes by.
In time, we usually find that we have over-simplified by ignoring important details. Mental models such as classification systems should evolve over time. This enables them to more accurately reflect reality and lead to the outcomes we seek.
You can only find the details you seek by observing the right layer of abstraction.
Many of the elements on the periodic table will always form ions that have the same charge. The alkali metals (shown in yellow) always form +1 ions. The alkaline earth metals (red) always form +2 ions. The halogens (blue) always form -1 ions.
Answer:
The outermost energy shell of an atom likes to be full with 8 electons
Explanation:
Answer:
0.5M
Explanation:
The equation for molarity is:
- M =
; where the "M" stands for molarity, the "mol" stands for moles of solute and the "liters" means the volume in liters of solution.
We are given that there are:
- 1.80 moles of NaCl (the moles of solute)
- 3.60 Liters of solution (the volume in liters of solution)
Now we just plug those numbers into the formula and get our answer:
- M=
= 0.5M
After doing the math and dividing the moles of solute by the liters of solution, we get that the molarity of the solution is 0.5M.
Answer:
3–ethyl–4–methylhexane.
Explanation:
To name the above compound, do the following:
1. Determine the functional group of the compound.
2. Locate the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.
3. Identify the substituent group attached to the compound.
4. Give the substituent the lowest possible count.
5. Combine the above to name the compound.
Now, we shall name the compound given in the question above as follow:
1. The compound contains only single bond. Therefore, the compound belong to the alkane family.
2. The longest continuous carbon chain is 6 i.e hexane.
3. The substituent group attached are:
i. Methyl, CH3.
ii. Ethyl, CH2CH3.
4. we shall name the substituents alphabetically i.e ethly will come before methyl. Therefore,
Ethyl is located at carbon 3.
Methy is located at carbon 4.
5. Therefore, the name of the compound is:
3–ethyl–4–methylhexane.
