How is beryllium similar to calcium?<br>​
Molodets [167]

Answer:

The second column on the periodic table of the chemical elements is collectively called the alkaline earth metal group: beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. Because the outer electron structure in all of these elements is similar, they all have somewhat similar chemical and physical properties.

Most atoms have no net charge because they have
Ne4ueva [31]

Atoms have no electric charge because the protons and electrons "cancel out" each others charges. Neutrons have no charge. What is the atomic number of an element? The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus.

Hope this helps have a great day :)

A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17 g of carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen. what is the correct representation of the
yarga [219]

CH3 is the empirical formula for the compound.

A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17g of Carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen.

The number of atom or moles in the compound is

1.17 g C X  1 mol of C / 12.011 g C = 0.097411 mol of C.

0.287 g H x 1 mol of  H / 1 g H = 0.28474 mol H.

This compound contains 0.097411 mol of carbon and 0.28474 mol of Hydrogen.

So we can represent the compound with the formula C0.974H0.284.

Subscripts in formulas can be made into whole numbers by multiplying the smaller subscript by the larger subscript.

we can divide 0.284 by 0.0974.

0.284 / 0.0974 = 3.

So here, Carbon is one and hydrogen is 3.

We can write the above formula as a CH3.

Hence the empirical formula for the sample compound is CH3.

For a detailed study of the empirical formula refer given link brainly.com/question/13058832.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

The activation energy for an endothermic reaction is quite large and usually takes extra energy from the environment, it is normally not a natural spontaneous process.

Explanation:

  • Endothermic reactions require absorbing energy of the surrounding mainly in the form of heat.
  • Chemical energy needs energy input to break the bonds.
  • Examples of endothermic reactions: Photosynthesis , melting of ice , and evaporating liquid water.
