Answer : The number of oxygen atoms present on reactant side are, 4

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

Decomposition reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the larger molecule decomposes to give two or more smaller molecules as a product.

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

2H_2O\rightarrow 2H_2+O_2

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that, there 4 atoms of hydrogen and 2 atoms of oxygen present on both reactant side and product side.

Hence, the number of oxygen atoms present on reactant side are, 4

Which part of the mantle is still solid but flows like a heavy liquid
topjm [15]

The Earth is composed of four different layers. Many geologists believe that as the Earth cooled the heavier, denser materials sank to the center and the lighter materials rose to the top. Because of this, the crust is made of the lightest materials (rock- basalts and granites) and the core consists of heavy metals (nickel and iron).

 

<span>The crust is the layer that you live on, and it is the most widely studied and understood. The mantle is much hotter and has the ability to flow. The Outer and Inner Cores are hotter still with pressures so great that you would be squeezed into a ball smaller than a marble if you were able to go to the center of the Earth!!!!!!</span>

Is each ion stable? Explain.
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

By satisfying the duet rule or the octet rule, ions are more stable.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed through the exchange of valence electrons between atoms, typically a metal and a nonmetal. The loss or gain of valence electrons allows ions to obey the octet rule and become more stable.

The octet rule states that an atom is most stable when there are eight electrons in its valence shell. Atoms with less than eight electrons tend to satisfy the duet rule, having two electrons in their valence shell. By satisfying the duet rule or the octet rule, ions are more stable.
