What is the difference between periods and groups on the periodic table?

1 answer:

7 0

Periods are rows horizontally along the periodic table whereas groups are vertical columns down the periodic table.
Elements in the same group react similarly. E.g. the group 1 metals (found in the first column of the periodic table) react readily with air and water (this is the similarity) but these reactions become more vigorous / explosive as you go down the group (this is why they are similar but not the same). This is because elements in the same group have the same number of electrons in their outermost energy level (and electrons are responsible for how an element reacts)
Elements in the same period of the periodic table have the same number of inner most (also known as 'main') energy levels so have the same amount of electron shielding.

Answer :

During diffusion, when the concentration of the molecules on both sides of the membrane is the same, the molecules will continue to move across the membrane in both the direction.

Answer 3 : It allows single-celled organism to reproduce, and other organism to repair damage tissues and grow.

Answer 4: The nucleus is an organelle that is surrounded by the cytoplasm, a jelly-like fluid.

Explanation :

Diffusion : It is a process where liquid moves from higher concentration to the lower concentration through permeable membrane.

When the concentration of the molecules on both sides of the membrane is same and the membrane is permeable membrane then diffusion will occur and the molecules will moves continuously across the membrane in both the direction.

Answer 3 :

Mitosis : It is a process of cell division. In this process, nucleus divides into two daughter cell and each daughter cell contains same number of chromosomes as present in parent nucleus.

The main purpose of the mitosis is to repair damaged tissues and growth.

Answer 4 :

Nucleus is a type of cell organelle. It is present in both animal and plant cells and it is the brain of the cell. It is present only in eukaryotic cell.

Nucleus is an organelle which is surrounded by the cell membrane which protects its from the other cells.

Cytoplasm is a jelly-like fluid which is present in the cell membrane which is made up of salt and water.

Describe the whole process of Aluminum extraction from bauxite.

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Extraction of aluminium

Aluminium ore is called bauxite . The bauxite is purified to produce aluminium oxide, a white powder from which aluminium can be extracted. The extraction is done by electrolysis. The ions in the aluminium oxide must be free to move so that electricity can pass through it.

The equilibrium of 2H 2 O(g) 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) at 2,000 K has a Keq value of 5.31 x 10-10. What is the Keq expression for this

maks197457 [2]

Answer is: Keq expression for this system is Keq = [O₂ ] · [H₂]² ÷ [H₂O]².
Chemical reaction: 2H₂O(g) ⇄ O₂(g) + 2H₂(g).
The equilibrium constant (Keq) is a ratio of the concentration of the products (in this reaction oxygen and hydrogen) to the concentration of the reactants (in this reaction water).
