Answer:
16:1
Explanation:
Atoms of element X weigh 32 times more than atoms of element Y. We can write this in a symbolic way.
mX = 32 mY [1]
where,
- mX and mY are the masses of X and Y, respectively
A compound has the formula: XY₂, that is, in 1 molecule of XY₂ there is 1 atom of X and 2 atoms of Y. The ratio of the mass of X to the mass of Y in this compound equals:
mX/2 mY [2]
If we substitute [1] in [2], we get:
mX/2 mY = 32 mY/2 mY = 16 = 16:1
Compound is a pure substance where atoms of two or more elements are chemically bonded togather
Answer:
The correct option is;
Scientist propose explanations that can be explained by examining evidence
Explanation:
A scientists makes an hypotheses based on possible natural processes to explain the origin and/or the nature of the characteristics of a natural observation. The scientist then source more data and information to put their hypotheses to test. Due to the fact that an hypotheses is based on observable processes and/or mechanisms, the given hypotheses can be further tested by other scientists through the use of their individually sourced data. From the result of the assessment, the hypotheses can be either accepted or rejected to enable the better clarification of the hypotheses when accepted or the development of a new hypotheses when rejected.
Oxygen, fluorine and iodine are diatomic elements. Flourine is more reactive than the other two because it is the closest away to filling its outer layer of electrons and becoming stable like a noble gas.
Carboxylic acids and alcohols have higher boiling point
than other hydrocarbons due to their polarity and from the fact that they form
very strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding. This is due to the large
difference in their electronegativity that forms between the oxygen and the
hydrogen atom.
