Answer: On heating, Magnesium forms its oxide; while potassium manganate(VII) decomposes
Explanation:
Magnesium Mg, on heating forms Magnesium oxide
2Mg(s) + O2(g) --> 2MgO
Potassium permanganate KMnO4, on heating decomposes to potassium manganate K2MnO4, manganese dioxide MnO2, and Oxygen gas O2.
2KMnO4 --> K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O2
The difference in observation is that, on heating, Magnesium forms its OXIDE as product; while potassium manganate(VII) decomposes, giving OFF most of its constituents and reducing its weight.
Answer:
When a substance gains or loses energy, its <u>temperature</u> or <u>state</u> changes. These two changes do <u>not</u> happen with respect to time; the temperature remains <u>the same</u> until the change of <u>state</u> is complete.
Explanation:
This statement is about energy and change of the state of the matter. By gaining or losing energy, the physical state of the matter can change into one another. Melting, freezing, condensation, evaporation, sublimation, and deposition are the processes that support to change the physical state of the matter. Change in state and change in the matter do not happen at the same time. A substance gains or loses energy to reach a specific temperature and remains constant until the physical change of matter is completed.
Explanation:
While atomic radii DECREASE across a Period, a row of the Period Table, from left to right as we face the Table, atomic radii INCREASE down a Group, a column of the Periodic Table, due to the shielding of the valence electrons by the closed valence shell(s) that intervenes between the nucleus and the valence, outermost electrons.
