CaC2

Ca - Group 2 metal
C - Group 4 non-metal

It is an ionic compound. :)

Explanation: Ionic compounds has a giant lattice structure with strong electrostatic forces of attraction between ions of Metal and Non-Metal. This compound require a large amount of energy/heat to overcome.

Covalent compounds has a simple molecular structure with weak intermolecular bonds with Non-metals only. This compound requires little energy/heat to overcome.

Matthew was working with different concentrations of hydrochloric acid in the lab. Which of these would BEST describe the result
CaHeK987 [17]
<span>The question says,'Mathew was working with different concentrations of hydrochloric acid in the lab. Which of these would best describe the resulsts Mathew would see if he was using a conductivity apparatus in each of the different acid concentration. The correct answer is C. This is because, acids conduct electricity, the stronger the acid, the brighter the electricity that will be produced while the weaker the acid, the weaker the electricity that will be produced. Thus, higher concentration equals tronger electricity.</span>

The elements in which electrons are progressively filled in 4f-orbital are called.
Y_Kistochka [10]

The elements in which electrons are progressively filled in 4f-orbital are called lanthanoids.

There are 15 metallic chemical elements called lanthanoids.

Those elements are with atomic numbers from 57 to 71.

Lanthanoids belong to f-block elements because of the filling of the 4f-orbitals.

One of the lanthanoids, lutetium (chemical symbol Lu) has 14 electrons if 4f orbitals.

Electron configuration of lutetium: [Xe] 4f14 5d1 6s2

f-orbitals are similar to the d orbital, but cut in half (eight lobes instead of four).

Lanthanoids are used not as materials in catalysts, alloys, lasers and cathode-ray tubes.
