Hello!

Elements are made up of atoms, and elements combine to make compounds. Compounds are made up of molecules, and molecules are made up of atoms.

Nitrogen is an element. It could be made up of one or many atoms. A mixture is made up of compounds, so it is not the answer.

Molecules and compounds are made up of different atoms and elements, but nitrogen is not a molecule or a compound.

There is such a thing as a nitrogen atom, though.

Therefore, your answer would be 2) Atom.

I hope this helps!

What mass of HBO2 is produced from the combustion of 139.5 g of B2H6? Answer in units of g.

aliina [53]

Answer:

$m_{HBO_2}=441.8gHBO_2$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the combustion of B2H6 is:

$B_2H_6+3O_2\rightarrow 2HBO_2+2H_2O$

Thus, since there is 1:2 mole ratio between the reactant and product, the produced grams of the latter is:

$m_{HBO_2}=139.5gB_2H_6*\frac{1molB_2H_6}{27.67gB_2H_6} *\frac{2molHBO_2}{1molB_2H_6} *\frac{43.82gHBO_2}{1molHBO_2}$

$m_{HBO_2}=441.8gHBO_2$

Best regards!

A bus travels 20km in 30minutes what is the average speed of the bus?

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

40km/hr

Explanation:

Speed = Distance ÷ Time and since they both have different units we have to change one of them. Therefore if we change 30 minutes to half an hour we say 20km ÷ ¹/2

Which element has the same number of valence electrons as calcium?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Barium has the same number of valence electrons as calcium

Explanation:

Valence electrons is the number of electrons of an atom on the outer shell.

Those valence electrons can participate in the formation of a chemical bond (if the outer shell is not closed); in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

Calcium is an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons.

Sulfur is part of a group 16, called the chalcogens or oxygen family. Those atoms have 6 valence electrons. They can form a bound with atoms of group 2 such as calcium, but do not have the same number of valence electrons.

Potassium is part of group 1, called the alkali metals or lithium family. Those atoms have 1 valence electrons. That means Potassium do not have the same number of valence electrons like calcium.

Neon is part of group 18, the noble gasses. Those are stable atoms, which means they have 8 valence electrons. They do not have the same number of valence electrons like Calcium.

Barium an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons. Calcium is also part of this group.

This means barium has the same number of valence electrons as Calcium.

Luden [163]

Answer:

C. Carbon

Explanation:

Carbon has an electronegativity of 2.55, followed by Tin at 1.96, Silicon at 1.90 and the least electronegative would be Lead at 1.87.
