Answer:
Physical property: Any characteristic that can be determined without changing the substance's chemical identity. Chemical property: Any characteristic that can be determined only by changing a substance's molecular structure.
Explanation:
Physical properties are something that is reverseable or has no change visible. Chemical properties are something that is NOT reverseable.
Chemical: Gas forming or Color Changing. (ETC.)
Answer:
Argon has 8 valence electrons making it non reactive.
Explanation:
Reactive chemicals are store in containers filled with Argon gas because the argon gas is non reactive. This is true because the argon gas has completely filled octet structure.
This can further be explained by writing the electronic configuration of argon.
The electronic configuration of argon is given below:
Ar (18) => 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶
Valence electron => 3s²3p⁶ = 2 + 6 = 8
From the above illustration, we can see that the outermost shell (i.e 3s²3p⁶) is having 8 electrons indicating that it is completely filled as the maximum number of electrons any shell can accommodate outside the first shell is 8 electrons. Thus, argon has 8 valence electrons ( i.e electrons in the outermost shell) and hence it is non reactive as the outermost shell is completely filled.
Answer:
Activating a glow stick is the example of a chemical change, as snapping one will cause a chemical reaction, causing the glow. All of the other options are physical changes because nothing new is formed. Hope this helps!
Answer:
They are averages.
Explanation:
atomic numbers on periodic tables are derived from the average value of all the isotopes of the element. So being averages they are sometimes not integers.
