CO2 is the emperical formula of carbon dioxide
Explanation:
A physical change is one that alters the physical properties of matter (particularly the form and state).
A chemical change is one in which new kind of matter is formed. It is always accompanied by energy changes (evolution or absorption of energy in form of heat or light or both).
Now, the salient differences between physical and chemical changes;
- Physical changes are easily reversible whereas chemical changes are not easily reversible.
- Physical changes lead to the production of no new kinds of matter whereas chemical changes leads to the production of new kinds of matter.
- Physical changes involves no change in mass whereas chemical changes involves change in mass.
- Physical changes require little energy whereas considerable amount of energy is needed for chemical changes.
Answer: The correct option is The properties of a noble gas.
Explanation: There are 7 periods in the periodic table.
The last element of each period are Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), Radon (Rn) and Ununoctium (Uuo).
- The electronic configuration for Helium is
. For He, The outermost electrons are 2.
- The electronic configuration for all the other elements is
( where, n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 respectively). For all the other gases, the outermost electrons are 8.
All these elements have stable electronic configuration and are not reactive in nature. Hence, they are considered as noble gases.
Therefore, the last element of each period always have the properties of a noble gas.
