3 0
The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom determines its reactivity. EX: noble gases have a low reactivity because they have a full electron shell, and don't need any more outermost ones.
EX: halogens are highly reactive because they readily gain an electron to fill their outermost shell

What happens to the partial pressure of oxygen in a sample of air if the temperature is increased? It increases. It decreases. I
Leno4ka [110]

The partial pressure of oxygen in a sample of air increases if the temperature is increased.

Answer: Option 1

<u>Explanation: </u>

According to Guy-Lussac's law, at constant volume, pressure exhibited by the gas molecules will be directly proportional to the temperature of the gas molecules. It is also known that pressure of mixture of gas molecules is the sum of partial pressure of each gas molecule in the mixture.

If the temperature increases, the partial pressure and the pressure of the mixture of gas also tend to increase. As it can be seen that at higher altitudes, the low temperature leads to the decrease in oxygen's partial pressure in the air.

So, it can also be concluded that temperature increases the oxygen's partial pressure in air increases.

Which is the smallest particle into which water (H2O) in a glass can be broken down and still remain water? A. a water molecule
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:-

A. A water molecule

Explanation:-

A molecule is the smallest particle of a compound that retains all it's chemical properties.

Here H2O is a compound. So the smallest particle that will retain all the chemical properties and still remain water is water molecule.

Atoms Hydrogen and Oxygen both have different chemical properties from water H2O and are thus different.

Hydrogen peroxide is different molecule from water. So it is also not water.
