All elements are pure substances.
Answer: Option B
Explanation: when strong acid react with strong base, the resulting solution is neutral as in the case of HCl and NaOH
HCl + NaOH —> NaCl + H2O
From the equation obtained, The salt ( NaCl) obtained is a normal salt which is neutral.
Answer:
Option C = same period.
Explanation:
All these elements belongs to second period of periodic table. This period consist of eight elements lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon.
Electronic configuration of lithium:
Li₃ = [He] 2s¹
Electronic configuration of beryllium:
Be₄ = [He] 2s²
Electronic configuration of boron:
B₅ = [He] 2s² 2p¹
Electronic configuration of carbon:
C₆ = [He] 2s² 2p²
Electronic configuration of nitrogen:
N₇ = [He] 2s² 2p³
Electronic configuration of oxygen:
O₈ = [He] 2s² 2p⁴
Electronic configuration of fluorine:
F₉ = [He] 2s² 2p⁵
Electronic configuration of neon:
Ne₁₀ = [He] 2s² 2p⁶
All these elements present in same period having same electronic shell.
However their families, valance electrons and group are different. Boron have three valance electrons and belongs to group 3A. Carbon belongs to group 4A and have 4 valance electrons. Nitrogen belongs to group 5A and have five valance electrons. Oxygen belongs to group 6A and have six valance electrons. Fluorine belongs to group 7A and have seven valance electrons.
The letter (d.) strong base or acid would be the most appropriate answer to the question above. An indicator is a strong base or acid. Indicators are strong base and acid because through this you can determine if a compound is acid or base with its color.
