\boxed{{\text{Soil}}} is a heterogeneous mixture.

Further Explanation:

Mixtures are composed of two or more substances. No fixed formula is present in these and their composition is also variable. There is retention in the properties of constituent particles even after the formation of mixtures. Some examples of mixtures are smog, mud, sea water and blood.

Types of mixtures:

1. Homogeneous mixtures

“Homo” refers to the “same Homogeneous mixtures are the mixtures that have uniform composition throughout. Such mixtures are present in single phase only. Rain, vinegar and orange juice are examples of a homogenous mixture.

2. Heterogeneous mixtures

Hetero” means “different”. Heterogeneous mixtures are the mixtures that have non-uniform composition throughout. These have more than one phase. Chocolate chip cookies and soda are examples of heterogeneous mixture.

Air is made up of several gases in different amounts. But all of the constituent particles of air are gases so it is a homogeneous mixture.

Salt gets completely dissolved in water and salt water exists in a single phase only. Therefore salt water is a homogeneous mixture.

Steel is an alloy of different metallic components and these components are uniformly distributed throughout the sample of steel. Therefore it is a homogeneous mixture.

Soil consists of a variety of particles such as sand, organic matter, water, pebbles, minerals, and air. All these components have non-uniform composition throughout the whole sample of soil. Therefore it is a heterogeneous mixture.

Answer: Heterogenous mixtures are the ones in which we can see the different components clearly. Air is considered to be homogenous, because we don't see the different noble gases' particles floating around. Salt water is also homogenous, because salt dissolves almost completely into water, becoming hard to see without the proper equipment salt particles in it. Steel is also homogenous, since the metals that compose it are mixed during the heating. The only heterogenous would be soil, because we can see different particles in it, with different sizes, shapes, colors, etc without having to use special equipment.

An electron in a hydrogen atom moves from level 1 to level 4. The electron then drops from level 4 to level 2. Which statement d
butalik [34]

Answer:

B. The energy absorbed in the first move is greater than the energy released in the second move.

Explanation:

It takes large amounts of energy for a electron to jump energy levels and the further it moves, the more it takes.

Atoms of metallic elements tend to...
lara31 [8.8K]

The answer is: lose electrons and form positive ions.

Most metals have strong metallic bond, because of strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.

The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).

For example, magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.  

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.
