Answer: Option (E) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A spontaneous reaction is defined as the process which tends to occur on its own. And, a non-spontaneous reaction is defined as a process for the completion of which we have to provide certain conditions.

For example, ice melting at 25^{o}C is spontaneous primarily due to the increase in molecular disorder (dispersal of matter). Also, melting of ice is taking place on its own without any external force.

It is not necessary that all exothermic reactions will be exothermic in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement all exothermic reactions are spontaneous, is false.

At construction sites, workers often reduce erosion by ____.
Naddik [55]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>All the above</em>

Workers at construction sites often reduce erosion by;

  • <em>Moving excess sediment back to its original location </em>
  • <em>Planting trees </em>
  • <em>Spraying water on bare soil</em>
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process which involves the wearing away of the topsoil by natural forces such as wind, water or other forces associated with farming.
  • <em><u>Construction of roads and buildings results to large amounts of soil erosion around the world. It is therefore important to put measures that would help reduce soil erosion at construction sites</u></em>. These measures uses principals of soil control such as implementing sediment control, limiting soil exposure, reducing the runoff velocity, and modifying topography among others.

determine whether each of the following electron configurations is an inert gas, a halogen, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth m
mamaluj [8]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Determine whether each of the following electron configurations is an inert gas, a halogen, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or a transition metal. Justify your choices.

(a) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

(b) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^74s^2

(c) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6

(d) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^4s^1

Answer :

(a) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5   → Halogen

(b) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^74s^2    → Transition metal

(c) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6   → Transition metal

(d) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^4s^1   → Transition metal

Explanation :

Inert gas : These are the gases which lie in group 18.

Their general electronic configuration is: ns^2np^6 where n is the outermost shell.

Halogen : These are the elements which lie in group 17.

Their general electronic configuration is: ns^2np^5 where n is the outermost shell.

An alkali metal : These are the elements which lie in group 1.

Their general electronic configuration is: ns^1 where n is the outermost shell.

An alkaline earth metal : These are the elements which lie in group 2.

Their general electronic configuration is: ns^2 where n is the outermost shell.

Transition elements : They are the elements which lie between 's' and 'p' block elements. These are the elements which lie in group 3 to 12. The valence electrons of these elements enter d-orbital.

Their general electronic configuration is: (n-1)d^{1-10}ns^{0-2} where n is the outermost shell.

(a) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the halogen family.

(b) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^74s^2

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.

(c) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.

(d) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^4s^1

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.

Do protons determine isotopes
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Protons determine the type of element it is which the number of protons.

Isotopes are determined by the same elements with the same amount of protons, but different number of neutrons.
