Answer:
A homologous series is a family of hydrocarbons with similar chemical properties who share the same general formula. We will look at three hydrocarbon series: alkanes, alkenes and the cycloalkanes. Hydrocarbons are compounds that contain only hydrogen and carbon.

Answer:
Na.
Explanation:
- The oxidation-reduction reaction contains a reductant and an oxidant (oxidizing agent).
- An oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. Also known as the electron acceptor, the oxidizing agent is normally in one of its higher possible oxidation states because it will gain electrons and be reduced.
- A reducing agent (also called a reductant or reducer) is an element (such as calcium) or compound that loses (or "donates") an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction.
<em>2Na + S → Na₂S.</em>
<em></em>
Na is oxidized to Na⁺ in (Na₂S) (loses 1 electron). "reducing agent".
S is reduced to S²⁻ in (Na₂S) (gains 2 electrons). "oxidizing agent".
The rules is that, the more reactive the substance, the harder it is to extract. The reason is mainly due to the fact that you have to find a specific solvent to react the substance only, not the others.Basing on the list of reactivity of metals as shown in the picture, Zn is more reactive than Ag. Then, that means that Ag is easier to recover.
Answer:
A glacier is a large mass of snow and ice that has accumulated over many years and is present year-round. In the United States, glaciers can be found in the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada, the Cascades, and throughout Alaska. A glacier flows naturally like a river, only much more slowly. At higher elevations, glaciers accumulate snow, which eventually becomes compressed into ice. At lower elevations, the “river” of ice naturally loses mass because of melting and ice breaking off and floating away (iceberg calving) if the glacier ends in a lake or the ocean. When melting and calving are exactly balanced by new snow accumulation, a glacier is in equilibrium and its mass will neither increase nor decrease.
In many areas, glaciers provide communities and ecosystems with a reliable source of streamflow and drinking water, particularly in times of extended drought and late in the summer, when seasonal snowpack has melted away. Freshwater runoff from glaciers also influences ocean ecosystems. Glaciers are important as an indicator of climate change because physical changes in glaciers whether they are growing or shrinking, advancing or receding provide visible evidence of changes in temperature and precipitation. If glaciers lose more ice than they can accumulate through new snowfall, they ultimately add more water to the oceans, leading to a rise in sea level (see the Sea Level indicator). The same kinds of changes occur on a much larger scale within the giant ice sheets that cover Greenland and Antarctica, potentially leading to even bigger implications for sea level. Small glaciers tend to respond more quickly to climate change than the giant ice sheets. Altogether, the world’s small glaciers are adding roughly the same amount of water to the oceans per year as the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica combined. During the last two decades, they added more water overall to the oceans than the ice sheets did.

Answer: false
Explanation:
When two atoms come sufficiently close together the valence electrons of each atom experience the attractive force of the nucleus in the other atom. The nucleus and the electrons in the inner shell remain unaffected when atoms come close together.
