Why is the right side

Chemistry

Answer:

The elements on the left-side of the periodic table are relatively electron deficient. So due to their comparatively low effective nuclear charges (the net positive charge of the protons minus the shielding core electrons below the valence level), their electrostatic hold on these electrons are weak.

Elements further right on the period table though, have higher effective nuclear charges and stabilize electrons more effectively. Which leads to localized covalent bonding and the formation of molecules.

The right side contains non metals while the left side contains metals.

Metals lose electrons (negative electrons). They now have more protons, therefore making the ion positive.

Non metals gain electrons (positive electrons). So the ion has more electrons than protons which makes the ion negative.

Answer:

Option D. Saturated alkane

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, it is important that we know what saturated and unsaturated compounds are in this context.

Saturated hydrocarbons are compounds which has only carbon to carbon single bonds (C–C) in its chain. A very good example of such compound is the Alkanes.

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are compounds which has either a carbon to carbon double bond (C=C) or a carbon to carbon triple bond (C≡C) in its chain. Examples of such compounds include alkenes and alkynes.

Now, let us answer the question given above bearing the meaning of saturated and unsaturated compounds in mind.

The compound given above contains only carbon to carbon (C–C) single bond.

Therefore, the compound is a saturated alkane.

When you convert feet to inches, how do you decide which portion of the conversion factor should be in the numerator and which i

Inessa05 [86]

Answer : The conversion used is, $1\text{ feet}=12\text{ inches}$

Explanation :

The conversion used :

$1\text{ feet}=12\text{ inches}$

For example : To convert 10 feet into inches.

$1\text{ feet}=12\text{ inches}$

$10\text{ feet}=10\text{ feet}\times \frac{12\text{ inches}}{1\text{ feet}}$

$=120\text{ inches}$

From this we conclude that, the conversion factor used in the numerator and denominator for 1 feet should be, $\frac{12\text{ inches}}{1\text{ feet}}$

NeTakaya

A general formula of an acid always start with H or the hydronium ion. It has to end with an anion. As acids, these compounds are named starting with the prefix "hydro-," then adding the first syllable of the anion, then the suffix "-ic." Hope this answers the question.

What is one of the ways a fission reaction can get out of control? when there are too many neutrons when the neutrons are slowed

Juliette [100K]

Out of the following given choices;

A) when there are too many neutrons

B) when the neutrons are slowed down

C) when there is a chain reaction

D) when there is critical mass

The answer is A. A fission nuclear reactor is controlled by regulating the number of neurotoxins produced in the chain reaction. Too many neutrons cause an accelerated chain reaction that causes enormous heat to be generated in a short amount of time which could cause an explosion. Control rods , made of “neutron poisons”, e.g. cadmium, are put in the reactors to control the number of neutrons at any one time
