Answer:
Explanation: For most longer adjectives, the comparative is made by adding the word "more" (for example, more comfortable) and the superlative is made by adding the word "most" (for example, most comfortable). If a 1-syllable adjective ends in "e", the endings are "-r" and "-st", for example: wise, wiser, wisest.
Answer:
B. calcium has electrons in more energy levels than magnesium
Explanation:
atoms are made of three types of subatomic particles - electrons, protons and neutrons.
Neutrons and protons reside in the nucleus of the atom and electrons reside in energy shells
electronic configuration for both Ca and Mg are as follows
Mg - 2,8,2
Ca - 2,8,8,2
outermost energy shell of Mg with electrons is the third energy level
whereas outermost energy shell of Ca with electrons is the fourth energy shell
therefore Ca has a larger atomic radius than Mg as it has one more energy shell than Mg in which electrons reside
Calcium reacts gently with water to give hydrogen and calcium hydroxide, which is only slightly soluble, thus slows down the reaction.
It will be assumed that hydrochloric acid used is a dilute aqueous solution.
However, calcium reacts with hydrochloric acid to give calcium chloride which is readily soluble in water, and hydrogen, being a typical reaction of relatively active metals with acids.
Ca(s) + 2HCl(aq) -> CaCl2(aq) +H2(g) ↑ + heat
The clues that it is a chemical reaction could be:
- formation of a new substance, gaseous hydrogen
- disappearance of a metallic solid in the solution
- heat formed during the vigorous reaction.
As silver is below hydrogen in the electrochemical series, it will not be expected to react with dilute hydrocloric acid. (however, it dissolves in oxidizing acid such as nitric acid, but not displacing hydrogen as a product).
The distance between the objects and how much charge the objects have.
