Answer:
B) They will react because X and Y can share two pairs of electrons to become stable
Explanation:
The electron configurations of two elements x and y are given :
X: 1s2 2s2 2p6
Y: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
The statement that is true for both the elements is that, they both will react as they both can share two pairs of electrons to become stable.
To become stable the outermost shell or p orbital should have 8 electrons, so element X can gain 2 atoms to become stable.
Element Y can also react as it can also share two atoms to fulfill its 3p orbital and will stable.
Hence, the correct option is "B".
Answer: option B. The kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas.
Explanation:
The kinetic theory of gases explains the behavior and properties of gases from a molecular perspective.
Specifically and explicity, the kinetic theory of gases states that gases are constituted by particles (molecules) and that the average kinetic energy of the particles is proportional to the absolute temperature (Kelvin scale) of the gas. Furthermore, the temperature of all the (ideal) gases is the same at a given temperature.
Hence, you know that the higher the temperature of the gas, the higher the kinetic energy and the average speed of the molecules.
Other postulates of the kinetic theory of gases are that: i) the volume of the particles is neglectible; ii) the particles do not exhibit intermolecular attraction or repulsion; iii) the particles are in continuous random motion in straight paths, until they collide with other particles or the walls of the vessel, and iv) the collisions are elastic (the energy is conserved).
Answer: it reacts with the alkali metals (M) to form a salt MX, where X is the halogen.
Explanation: Group 7A elements are halogen and they react with alkali metals like Sodium or potassium to form a salt like NaCl
First I would have a pot of soil and a carrot (without fertilizer) then a pot of soli ,with fertilizer and a carrot. Then I would watch them for the same amount of time and identify weather the soil impacted the decomposition of the carrot and repeat this twice.
Same size pots
Same size carrots
Same soil
Same growth area
Answer:
(a) A strong acid
Explanation:
We have given the pH of the solution is 2.46
pH=2.46
So the concentration of 
solution having H+ concentration more than 
is acidic
Since in the given solution, H+ concentration is 0.00346 M which is more than 10^{-7}[/tex] so this is an acidic solution
Note-The concentration of 
decide the behavior of the solution that is, it is acidic or basic
