The variable that is measured as data in an experiment is 1. the dependent variable.
The variables that are held constant in an experiment are 2. the controlled variables.
The variable that is changed by the experimenter is 5. the independent variable.
A count or measurement recorded during an experiment is 4. quantitative data.
Descriptions or observations during an experiment are 3. qualitative data.
Answer:
Kinetic energy increases.
Explanation:
In a solid, molecules do not have much room to move. They are very slow moving, which means that kinetic energy is low. In a liquid, molecules have more room to move. They are able to move faster than a solid, which means that kinetic energy is low.
From greatest to lowest kinetic energy:
gas, liquid, solid
Temperature change, colour change, releasing gas, bubbles and change in odor
Answer:
(iv) (A) is false, but (R) is true.
Explanation:
It is not true that carbon has a strong tendency to either lose or gain electrons to attain noble gas configuration. Carbon is a member of group 14, it is the first member of the group and carbon is purely a non metal. Only metals metals can loose electrons to attain the noble gas configuration. Moreover, carbon does not participate in ionic bonding so it does not gain electrons to attain the noble gas configuration.
However, carbon participates in covalent bonding where it is covalently bonded to four other chemical species using its four outermost electrons. Carbon forms covalent bonds in which four electrons are shared with other chemical species.
The answer is 2 electrons.
The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2
Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements. Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.
Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known as an ionic compound.
For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas, calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.
