Answer:

The person should not be concerned about radon.

Explanation:

<em>A person living on the sixth floor of an aparment probably should not be concerned about radon</em>. In the conditions of the Earth's atmosphere (temperature and pressure), radon exists as a gas. This gas has a density that is approximately 8 times higher than the density of air (9.73 g/L compared to 1.22 g/L). <em>This means that radon gas would not rise, and instead remain close to the ground</em>, meaning that an apartment on a sixth floor is too far away from the ground for radon gas to reach there.

A gas being denser than air is also the reason why if you blow into a balloon, it will fall to the ground, because CO₂ is denser than air.

Determine the number of valence electrons for the following: [kr] 5s2 4d6
wlad13 [49]

Answer: B) 2 (as indicated by electron distribution shown), but taking into account the real properties of this element, 4,7,8 also occur (see below).

Explanation:

This is the electron complement/atomic number of ruthenium, which actually has the structure [Kr] 5s1 4d7

Nevertheless, Ru does not form Ru(I) compounds and few Ru(II) compounds (RuCl2, RuBr2, RuI2). It also forms Ru(III)Cl3 and a larger number of Ru(IV) compounds, e.g. RuO2, RuS2. It also forms RuO4

I RLLY NEED HELP. Use Image B (picture above) and calculate the density of a ring that has a mass of 32 grams. Read Page 11 "Mea
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

Mass of ring = 32 g

Volume of ring = 4 mL

Density of ring = 8 g/mL

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of ring = 32 g

Volume of water = 64 mL

Volume of water + ring = 68 mL

Density of ring =?

Next, we shall determine the volume of the ring. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of water = 64 mL

Volume of water + ring = 68 mL

Volume of ring =?

Volume of ring= (Volume of water + ring) – (Volume of water)

Volume of ring = 68 – 64

Volume of ring = 4 mL

Finally, we shall determine the density of the ring. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of ring = 32 g

Volume of ring = 4 mL

Density of ring =?

Density = mass / volume

Density of ring = 32 / 4

Density of ring = 8 g/mL

When sedimentary rock sits for years and years will it build up more layers and. Make fossils
KengaRu [80]
Sedimentary rocks don't necessarily make fossils. Although when animals die on top of the rocks and are never moved, blown away, etc they can get trapped under the growing rock. Which is why fossils are often found in sedimentary rocks.
