<h3>Answer:</h3>

           Strontium (Sr)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                        The condition given in statement is the presence of two valence electron. Hence, first we found the electronic configuration of given atoms as follow;

                       Rubidium                         [Kr] 5s¹

                      Strontium                        [Kr] 5s²

                       Zirconium                         [Kr] 4d² 5s²

                      Silver                                 [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s¹

From above configurations it is cleared that only Strontium and Zirconium has two electrons in its valence shell.

We also know that s-block elements are more reactive than transition elements due to less shielding effect in transition elements hence, making it difficult for transition metals to loose electrons as compared to s-block elements. Therefore, we can conclude that Strontium present in s-block with two valence electrons is the correct answer.

How many molecules are in
diamong [38]

Answer:

3.6 × 10²⁴ molecules

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Moles of methane (n): 6.0 moles

Step 2: Calculate the number of molecules of methane in 6.0 moles of methane

In order to convert moles to molecules, we need a conversion factor. In this case, we will use Avogadro's number: there are 6.02 × 10²³ molecules of methane in 1 mole of molecules of methane.

6.0 mol × 6.02 × 10²³ molecules/1 mol = 3.6 × 10²⁴ molecules

The answer is Option C (Divergent Plate Boundary)

Mapping efforts have shown that mid-ocean ridges<span> are discontinuous structures that cut at </span>right angles<span> to its length at various transform faults. They typically </span><span>demarcate the </span>boundary <span>between two tectonic plates, and are therefore called </span>divergent<span> plate </span>boundaries.

masya89 [10]
The answer is D. To put it simply, all atom wished to become stable. The only way for that is to obtain an octet structure where the outermost shell would have 8 electrons, thus being full.

What purpose do each of the following play in the isolation and purification of ethyl 3- hydroxybutanoate?
Shalnov [3]

Explanation:

-Filter help — delete some big unreacted, undesirable species (norit is probably from what you are sorting through, its only carbon which cleans up things)

— extract with DCM because you are probably in an aqueous phase, and some butanoate is in it

- Anhydrous sodium absorbs excess of  water (dries the material)

-evaporation in the hood to clear the DCM and crystallize the product.
