Answer: Option (1) and (2) are correct.

Explanation:

Elements which contain same number of valence electrons tend to show similar chemical properties. This is because having same number of valence electrons will make the atoms to react in a similar way.

For example, Silicon is a group 14 element. So, it contains only 4 valence electrons. Similarly, germanium and lead are group 14 elements and it has 4 valence electrons.

Therefore, silicon, germanium, and lead will have similar chemical properties.

Whereas phosphorous is a group 15 element, and chlorine is a group 17 element.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options germanium and lead elements has physical and chemical properties most similar to silicon (Si).

In order from most to least similar:
1. Germanium
2. Lead
3. Phosphorus
4. Chlorine
The elements in the same column as the element you have are the most similar. The rows are not. For example, though chlorine and magnesium are in the same row, they have very different properties, whereas chlorine and fluorine more similar

How much heat is absorbed in the complete reaction of 3.00 grams of SiO2 with excess carbon in the reaction SiO2(g) + 3C(s) → Si

defon

Answer:

31.24 kJ

Explanation:

SiO₂(g) + 3C(s) → SiC(s) + 2CO(g) ΔH° = 624.7 kJ/mol

First we <u>convert 3.00 grams of SiO₂ to moles</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

3.00 g SiO₂ ÷ 60.08 g/mol = 0.05 mol

Now we <u>calculate the heat absorbed</u>, using the <em>given ΔH°</em>:

If the complete reaction of 1 mol of SiO₂ absorbs 624.7 kJ, then with 0.05 mol:

0.05 mol * 624.7 kJ/mol = 31.24 kJ of heat would be absorbed.

Which best describes nuclear energy?

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - D. the energy stored inside the center of an atom.

Explanation:

Each atom has a small center in it called the nucleus and the energy that holds the nucleus or center of the atom together in the atom is known as nuclear energy.

It is the energy that is stored in the center of the atom and normally does not come out, however, in some radioactive atoms the sends some part of the energy as radiation.

Thus, the correct answer is - D. the energy stored inside the center of an atom.
