<h2>Answer:</h2>

The density of mercury molecule is higher than water.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Density is defined as mass per unit volume.In other words, density is the amount of matter within a given amount of space. water has the density of 1.0 gram per milliliter whereas the mercury has a density of 13.6 grams per centimeter squared.

One reason for the differences in density between mercury and water is that the atomic mass of mercury is 200.59 grams per mole. The atomic mass of water is 18.0 grams per mole. This is because mercury has a larger nucleus than hydrogen or water.

Additionally, there are strong inter-molecular forces (hydrogen bonds) between water molecules. hydrogen molecules do not stack upon one another as nicely as mercury atoms. Thus, there is additional empty spaces between the water molecules leading to its lower mass per volume(density)

The electronic configuration of an element is given below.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

The statement which is true about the reactivity of element with 1S²2S²2P⁶3S¹ is

it is reactive because it has to lose one electron to have a full outermost energy level.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>Element with 1S²2S²2P⁶3S¹ electron configuration is a sodium metal.

sodium has one electron in the outermost energy level.

for sodium to have a full outermost energy level ( 8 electrons) it loses the 1 electron in 3S¹ to form a positively charged ion. (Na⁺)

What is the total number of calories of heat energy absorbed when 10 grams of water is vaporized at its normal boiling point

Darya [45]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the amount of heat absorbed at normal boiling point, we use the equation:

$q=m\times L_{vap}$

where,

q = amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of water = 10 grams

$L_{vap}$ = latent heat of vaporization = 539 Cal/g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$q=10g\times 539Cal/g=5390Cal$

Hence, the amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories

if the side if a chemical equation has 3, carbon atoms, 6 oxygen atoms and 4 hydrogen atoms then the right side of the chemical

DochEvi [55]

The right side will also have 3 carbon, 6 oxygen, and 4 hydrogen atoms. the atoms may come together to form a compound but it doesn't lose any atoms. Hope it helped!
