Electrons in an atom can be classified as core electrons and valence electrons. Valence electrons are those electrons which are present in valence shell and participates in bond formation. While, Core electrons are all remaining electrons which are not present in valence shell, hence not take part in bonding.
Atomic number of Selenium (Se) is 34 hence it has 34 electrons with following electronic configuration;
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁴
From electronic configuration it is found that the valence shell is 4, and the number of electrons present in valence shell are 6. So,
Core Electrons = Total Electrons - Valence Electrons
Core Electrons = 34 - 6
Core Electrons = 28
Result:
There are 28 core electrons in Selenium.
Perspex and polythene are good examples of insulators.
TLDR: The energy was being used simply to heat the substance up.
Whenever something melts, it performs what is called a "phase transition", where the state of matter moves from one thing to something else. You can see this in your iced drink at lunch; as the ice in the cup of liquid heats up, it reaches a point where it will eventually "change phase", or melt. The same can be achieved if you heat up that water enough, like if you're cooking; when you boil eggs, the water has so much thermal energy it can "change phase" and become a gas!
However, water doesn't randomly become a boiling gas, it has to heat up for a while before it reaches that temperature. For a real-life example, the next time you cook something, hold you hand above the water before it starts boiling. You'll see that that water has quite a high temperature despite not boiling.
There's a lot of more complex chemistry to describe this phenomena, such as the relationship between the temperature, pressure, and what is called the "vapor pressure" of a liquid when describing phase changes, but for now just focus on the heating effect. When ice melts, it doesn't seem like its heating up, but it is. The ice absorbs energy from its surroundings (the warmer water), thus heating up the ice and cooling down the water. Similarly, the bunsen burner serves to heat up things in the lab, so before the solid melts in this case it was simply heating up the solid to the point that it <u>could</u> melt.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Chemical reactions are also referred to as chemical change. A chemical change often leads to the formation of new substances and is not easily reversible.
A chemical reaction may be accompanied by the emission of heat and light, formation of a precipitate, evolution of gas, or a color change.
These observable physical effects may tell us weather a chemical reaction has taken place or not so we have to observe the system closely for any of these effects stated above.
OMG THERE'S SPIDER BEHIND YOU!!! jk XD lets get back to the question.....
example of omnivores would be us humans but since you said ANIMALS then :
BEARS - bears are omnivores they feed on meat like fish and plants like grass or dandelion.
RACCOONS - their omnivores too they feed on meat like rats (ew), fish, frogs..etc they also eat plants like any kind fruit, grains, nuts ( i dont think all kind tho).
so yup those are two examples :D
