D. is the missing element.

Carlos <em>hasn’t done research</em> on what other scientists have observed and investigated on this topic. If he hasn’t done his literature research, he may just be repeating the experiments of other scientists working in the same area.

Options “A.”, “B.”, and “C.” are all part of the scientific method.

In each of the following sets of elements, which one will be least likely to gain or lose electrons?
klasskru [66]
1. The reactivity among the alkali metals increases as you go down the group due to the decrease in the effective nuclear charge from the increased shielding by the greater number of electrons. The greater the atomic number, the weaker the hold on the valence electron the nucleus has, and the more easily the element can lose the electron. Conversely, the lower the atomic number, the greater pull the nucleus has on the valence electron, and the less readily would the element be able to lose the electron (relatively speaking). Thus, in the first set comprising group I elements, sodium (Na) would be the least likely to lose its valence electron (and, for that matter, its core electrons).

2. The elements in this set are the group II alkaline earth metals, and they follow the same trend as the alkali metals. Of the elements here, beryllium (Be) would have the highest effective nuclear charge, and so it would be the least likely to lose its valence electrons. In fact, beryllium has a tendency not to lose (or gain) electrons, i.e., ionize, at all; it is unique among its congeners in that it tends to form covalent bonds.

3. While the alkali and alkaline earth metals would lose electrons to attain a noble gas configuration, the group VIIA halogens, as we have here, would need to gain a valence electron for an full octet. The trends in the group I and II elements are turned on their head for the halogens: The smaller the atomic number, the less shielding, and so the greater the pull by the nucleus to gain a valence electron. And as the atomic number increases (such as when you go down the group), the more shielding there is, the weaker the effective nuclear charge, and the lesser the tendency to gain a valence electron. Bromine (Br) has the largest atomic number among the halogens in this set, so an electron would feel the smallest pull from a bromine atom; bromine would thus be the least likely here to gain a valence electron.

4. The pattern for the elements in this set (the group VI chalcogens) generally follows that of the halogens. The greater the atomic number, the weaker the pull of the nucleus, and so the lesser the tendency to gain electrons. Tellurium (Te) has the highest atomic number among the elements in the set, and so it would be the least likely to gain electrons.

If mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O2) were reacted to form mercury oxide how many molecules of each reactant and product would be need
dimulka [17.4K]
In order to get HgO you would need 2Hg+1O2=2HgO. Since oxygen is diatomic you need two when it stands alone causing you to need two mercuries to balance out the reactants and the product I hope this helps

Mercury may have lost part of its mantle and crust to a _______ leaving it with a large, metal _______.
igomit [66]
<h2>Giant impact and metalcore.</h2>

Explanation :

  • Mercury has a large core of liquid metal.
  • The metal core is of iron metal.
  • The core is surrounded by a mantle which is made up of silica and a solid outer crust.
  • In the case of Mercury, the total core percentage is 42% of the planet while the Earth's core is only 17% of the planet.
  • Mercury has lost part of its mantle and crust that left the mercury with a large metal core.

the diagram below shows DNA molecules. What do the broken lines connected to hydrogen atoms represent in this diagram?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer is: hydrogen bonds.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (H), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (F), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms.

According to the principle of base pairing hydrogen bonds could form between adenine and thymine (two hydrogen bonds between this nucleobases) and guanine and cytosine (three hydrogen bonds between this nucleobases).

Adenine and guanine are purine derivatives and thymine and cytosine are pyrimidine derivates.
