Answer:

The process where substance react with oxygen is called combustion.

Explanation:

When substance react with oxygen combustion is occur. The substance which burned is called fuel and in this process large amount of heat is released to the surrounding. It is exothermic process.

For example:

4Li + O₂ → 2Li₂O

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

S + O₂ → SO₂

The product which is formed as a result of combustion reaction are called oxides.

In given examples we can see that lithium, magnesium and sulfur react with oxygen and product formed is oxides of respective elements such as lithium oxide ( Li₂O), magnesium oxide (MgO) and sulfur oxide ( SO₂ ).

Write the correct ionic formula when given two elements that bond ionically.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:
Ionic bond is formed by the opposite ions attraction between the 2 atoms in an ionically bonded compound. The two ions i.e. Cation and Anions are formed by oxidation and reduction reactions respectively. General Ionic formula is as follow,

Mⁿ⁺ + Nⁿ⁻ → MN
where;
Mⁿ⁺ = Cation

Nⁿ⁻ = Anion

MN = Salt

Explanation:
Ionic bond is the electrostatic forces of attraction between positively charged cations and negatively charged Anions. These forces are very stronger resulting in increasing several physical properties of Ionic compounds like melting point and boiling point e.t.c.

Example:

Sodium Chloride:
NaCl is formed by Na⁺ cation and Cl⁻ anion as follow,

Oxidation of Na;

2 Na → 2 Na⁺ + 2 e⁻
Reduction of Cl₂;

Cl₂ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻

Crystal Lattice formation is as follow,

Na⁺ + Cl⁻ → NaCl

Give explanations for the large drops in melting point from C to Si and from Ge to Sn.

____ [38]

As we move down the group, the metallic bond becomes more stable and the formation of forming covalent bond decreases down the group due to the large size of elements.

Covalent and metallic bonding leads to higher melting points. Due to a decrease in attractive forces from carbon to lead there is a drop in melting point.

Carbon forms large covalent molecules than silicon and hence has a higher melting point than silicon.

Similarly, Ge also forms a large number of covalent bonds and has a smaller size as compared to that of Sn. Hence melting point decreases from Ge to Sn.

The order will be C>Si>Ge>Pb>Sn.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

The two elements are POLONIUM and RADIUM.

Explanation:

Maria Curie is a French physicist and chemist, though she was of a Polish naturals. She was the first woman to receive a Noble Price which she earned for conducting leading and head way research on radioactivity. She discovered the theory of radioactivity; also the techniques isolating radioactive isotopes. These helped her and her husband discover Polium and Radium.
