Well natural gas consists of a steam generation unit, where fossil fuels are burned in a boiler to heat water and produce steam that then turns a turbine to generate electricity.
Answer: CrO₄⁻ and Ba²⁺
Explanation:
1) Chemical equation given:
2H⁺ + CrO₄⁻ + Ba²⁺ + 2OH⁻ → Ba²⁺ + CrO₄⁻ + 2H₂O
2) Analysis
That is an oxidation-reduction equation (some species are been oxidized and others are being reduced).
The given equation is known as total ionic equation, because it shows all the species as ions that are part of the reaction.
2) Specator ions
Spectator ions are the ions that do not change their oxidation state and are easily identified as they are the same in the reactant and product sides.
Here the ions that are the same in the reactant and product sides are:
CrO₄⁻ and Ba²⁺
3) Addtitional explanation.
Once you identify the spectator ions you can delete them from the equation to obtain the net ionic equation , which in this case turns to be:
2H⁺ + 2OH⁻ → 2H₂O
But this is not part of the question; it is some context to help you understand the use of the spectator ions concept.

Explanation:
Before the advent of the wave-particle duality theory proposed by Louis de Broglie, there was a sharp distinction between mater and waves.
However, Louis de Broglie introduced the idea that mater could display wave-like properties. Erwin Schrödinger developed this idea into what is now known as the wave mechanical model of the atom.
In this model, electrons are regarded as waves. We can only determine the probability of finding the electron within certain high probability regions within the atom called orbitals.
This idea has been the longest surviving atomic model and has greatly increased our understanding of atoms.
Ice is less dense than water. Hydrogen bonding makes water more dense than when it is in the form of ice!

Answer:
When the two atoms move towards each other a compound is formed by sharing electron pairs supplied by each of the atoms to enable them have the stable 8 (octet) valency electrons in their outermost shell
Explanation:
The electronic configuration of the given element can be written as follows;
1s²2s²2p⁴
The given electronic configuration is equivalent to that of oxygen, therefore, we have;
The number of electrons in the valence shell = 2 + 4 = 6 electrons
Therefore, each atom requires 2 electrons to complete its 8 (octet) electrons in the outermost shell
When the two atoms move towards each other, they react and combine to form a compound by sharing 4 electrons, 2 from each atom, such that each atom can have an extra 2 electrons in its outermost orbit in the newly formed compound and the stable octet configuration is attained by each of the atoms in the newly formed compound.
