2. How does the way elements are grouped in the periodic table serve as an advantage to scientists?

1 answer:

6 0

When looking down the groups the elements have an equal number of electrons in the outer shell. This means they react in a similar way making it easier for scientists to use.

If the half life is 6.3 minutes how much of a 128.0 milligram sample will remain after 15 minutes

zaharov [31]

Answer:

24.5

Explanation:

15/6.3 => 2.38 half lives passed.

.5^2.38 => 0.19198 decimal representation of the percentage that is left over after 2.38 half lives have passed.

0.19198 *128 = 24.5 mg of the material remaining.

What is the Golden Rule of Solubility? A. polar dissolves nonpolar. B. nonpolar dissolves polar. C. like dissolves unlike D. lik

DerKrebs [107]

Answer: D. like dissolves like

Explanation:

The solubility of substances is governed by: Like dissolves like, which states that polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents and non polar compounds are soluble in non polar solvents.

Hydrocarbons are non polar in nature due to less difference between the electronegativities of carbon and hydrogen and thus are soluble in non polar solvents only.

Ionic compounds which are formed by elements with high electronegativity difference are polar in nature and thus dissolve in polar solvents.

Example: $NaCl$ in water.
