Mikayla says that air is an element since it has oxygen in it. Jose says that air is a mixture because each part of air keeps it

s properties. Grant says that both Mikayla and Jose are wrong, because air is a compound. Who is correct and why? Group of answer choices

Answer: Jose is correct because air is a mixture of gases ( both elements and compounds).

Explanation:

An element consist of only one type of atom and a compound made up of 2 or more types of elements joined together ( by ionic or covalent bonds).

Whereas air around us is a mixture of gases (both elements and compounds) like nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide, and very small amounts of other gases and water vapors

Hence, Jose is correct because air is a mixture of gases ( both elements and compounds).

Determine the molecular geometry based on the description of bonding and lone pairs of electrons around the central atom. Three
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Three double bonds and no lone pairs of electrons- trigonal planar

Two single bonds and two lone pairs of electrons-bent

Five single bonds and no lone pairs of electrons- trigonal bipyramidal

Three single bonds and one lone pair of electrons- trigonal pyramidal

Two double bonds and no lone pairs of electrons - linear

Four single bonds and no lone pairs of electrons- tetrahedral

Six single bonds and no lone pairs of electrons- octahedral

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory gives a description of the shape of a molecule based on the number of regions of electron density present on the valence shell of the central atom of the molecule.

The molecules are distorted away from the shape predicted on the basis of the VSEPR by the presence of lone pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule. In the absence of lone pairs, the shape of a molecule is exactly the shape predicted on the basis of the VSEPR theory.

What is true about the formation of a bond?
timama [110]

Answer:

There is an overall release of energy when bonds form.

Explanation:

There is a general release of energy when bonds form. This energy is called bond energy.

Bond energy is involved in the breakdown or formation of one or more bonds between atoms of a molecule. Atoms bond with each other to achieve their electronic stability, that is, they move from a higher energy situation to a lower energy one. With this we can state that when the bond between atoms is formed, energy is released; therefore, its breakdown depends on energy absorption.

At sea level, where the pressure was 104 kPa and temperature 21.1 ºC, a certain mass of air occupies 2.0 m3 . To what volume wil
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The volume of air at where the pressure and temperature are  52 kPa, -5.0 ºC is 3.64 m^3.

Explanation:

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 104 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 52 kPa

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 2.0m^3

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 21.1^oC=273+21.1=294.1K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = -5.0^oC=273+(-5.0)=268 K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{104 kPa\times 2.0m^3}{294.1 K}=\frac{52 kPa\times V_2}{268 K}

V_2=3.64 m^3

The volume of air at where the pressure and temperature are  52 kPa, -5.0 ºC is 3.64 m^3.

A change in the core would have the greatest effect on what?
Misha Larkins [42]
<span>The magnetic field of the Earth serves a useful purpose in deflecting Solar radiation. Without the magnetic field there is much more charged-particle radiation striking the surface. The auroras would occur everywhere instead of at the magnetic poles. Compass needles wouldn't work, and then they would flip direction.. The magnetic field IS DECREASING and could go to zero and reverse sometime in the next few tens-of-thousands of years.</span>
