A student is studying asbestos, a mineral that causes cancer in humans. One of the components of asbestos is silicon, a somewhat

reactive element, that is the second most abundant element found in the Earth’s crust. Which characteristic of silicon is most closely related to its chemical reactivity?

Answer:

The characteristic of silicon that is most closely related to its chemical reactivity is that;

It is found in nature in mainly as oxides and silicates

Explanation:

Silicon, which is a member of group 14 of the periodic table has the electron configuration of [Ne]3s²3p² and has a high affinity for oxygen such that the the oxides are known as silicates and it is almost impossible to find pure silicon in nature and it is found in the universe as silica and silicates

Silicate minerals make up over 90% of the Earth's crust such that, by mass silicon is only surpassed by oxygen as the most abundant element found in the Earth's crust.

Calculate the molarity of 0.700 mol of na2s in 1.05 l of solution.
slamgirl [31]
Molarity is the amount of solute molecule (in moles) per 1L of solvent. In this case, the solute is 0.7mol Na2S and the solvent volume is 1.05L. Since the unit in this problem is already mol and L then you don't need to do any conversion of the units. The calculation would be:

molarity = mol of solute / (1L/ volume of solvent)
molarity = 0.7 mol/ (1L/ 1.05L)= 0.67M

Molecules can be either positively or negatively charged depending upon their elemental arrangement
Nuetrik [128]
They are positively or negatively charged based on their electrical configuration of electrons*
For example an electronic configuration of 2,8,3 would have a negative charge if +3 since it needs to lose 3 electrons to gain the electrical configuration of a noble gas
2,8,1 would have a charge of +1 for the same reason
2,8,6 would be -2 since it is easier to gain 2 electrons that lose 6 electrons

Hope this helped :))
