Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

(a) 1s22s22p63s23p5 it's a halogen, halogens are in group 7A in the periodic table, that means that that have 7 electrons in the outermost shell.

  outermost shell = 3   number of electrons = 2 + 5 = 7

(b) 1s22s22p63s23p63d74s2 it's an alkaline earth metal, these elements are in the 2A group and have 2 electrons in the outermost shell.

outermost shell 4 number of electrons = 2

(c) 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p6 This is an inert gas, these elements have 8 electrons in the outermost shell.

outermost shell 4 number of electrons = 2 + 6 = 8

(d) 1s22s22p63s23p64s1 This is a alkali metal, these elements have 1 electron in the outermost shell

outermost shell 4 number of electrons = 1

(e) 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p64d55s2  it's a transition metal. Besides this the outermost shell of this element is 5, shell 4 is incomplete, (4d5) letter d is for transition metal.

outermost shell 5, we consider 4  number of electrons (d) = 5

(f) 1s22s22p63s2  it's an alkaline earth metal, these elements are in the 2A group and have 2 electrons in the outermost shell.

outermost shell 3 number of electrons = 2

Can a compound be separated by physical means?
Julli [10]

No,  it is not possible.
A compound is a substance or material constituting of two or more elements that have been chemically combined together to form a new, different substance

Any elements that have been joined together chemically can only be separated back into their constituent elements by chemical means because the bonds holding them together can only be broken using chemical means.

A good example is sodium chloride, table salt. Poisonous chlorine gas and toxic sodium metal react together whereby sodium loses one electron which chlorine readily accepts and in the process an ionic bond is formed between the two resulting in a totally new, harmless compound , sodium chloride.

Only through electrolysis can sodium chloride be separated back into sodium and chlorine gas. No physical means can be used to do that.

Dalton’s completing an investigation in the science lab. He observes that a sample of liquid turns to gas at 135°C. What’s this
artcher [175]

The temperature at which the sample of liquid turns to gas at 135 °C is termed as boiling point.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

The observation of conversion of liquid to gas indicates that there is occurrence of change in the state of matter. The inter-conversion from one state to another can be done by either varying the temperature or by varying the pressure.

In this case, the liquid on heating gets converted to gaseous state after attaining a particular temperature say 135 °C. So, this process of conversion from liquid to gaseous state on heating is termed as boiling.

The temperature at which a liquid converts to gas is termed as the boiling point of that liquid.

What provides the force on the person in the passenger seat?
podryga [215]

The forces that make a passenger speed up, slow down, or
turn a curve are the same forces that have the same effect
on the driver and anybody else in the car.

-- Speeding up . . .

              the back of the seat
              friction between the car seat and the seat of your pants

-- Slowing down . . .

              the seat belt
              friction between the car seat and the seat of your pants

-- Turning away from a straight line . . .
   
              the seat belt
              friction between the car seat and the seat of your pants
              the door, or whatever or whomever you're leaning against

What happens to the coefficient of friction when the weight is increased? Why is this?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Usually the coefficient of friction remains unchanged

Explanation:

The coefficient of friction should in the majority of cases, remain constant no matter what your normal force is. When you apply a greater normal force, the frictional force increases, and your coefficient of friction stays the same. Here's another way to think about it: because the force of friction is equal to the normal force times the coefficient of friction, friction is increased when normal force is increased.

Plus, the coefficient of friction is a property of the materials being "rubbed", and this property usually does not depend on the normal force.
