Answer: B) 46.7% Si and 53.3% O

Explanation:

To calculate the mass percent of element in a given compound, we use the formula:

\text{Mass percent of element}=\frac{\text{Mass of element}}{\text{total mass}}\times 100\%

Mass of quartz  (SiO_2) = 5.05 g

Mass of silicon = 2.36 g

Mass of oxygen = Mass of quartz  (SiO_2) - mass of silicon = 5.05g - 2.36 g = 2.69 g

\text{Mass percent of silicon}=\frac{\text{Mass of silicon}}{\text{total mass of quartz}}\times 100=\frac{2.36}{5.05}\times 100=46.7\%

\text{Mass percent of oxygen}=\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen}}{\text{total mass of quartz}}\times 100=\frac{2.69}{5.05}\times 100=53.3\%

Thus the percentages of silicon and oxygen in quartz are B) 46.7% Si and 53.3% O

Complete the paragraph about the formation of sodium phosphide.
Nadya [2.5K]
<h2>Let us complete it :</h2>

Explanation:

let us study about formation of sodium phosphide

Electrons are transferred from atoms of  sodium to atoms of phosphorous

The sodium atom looses electrons and the phosphorus atoms  

gains electrons .

C. This transfer makes the sodium atoms  acquire positive charge and phosphorous acquire negative charge .

As a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly  bond with

each other.

Explain what will happen to the organisms that is affected by human activities.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Human activity is by far the biggest cause of habitat loss.

Humans are now responsible for causing changes in the environment that hurt animals and plant species. We take up more space on Earth for our homes and cities. We pollute habitats. ... Human activity often changes or destroys the habitats that plants and animals need to survive.

Explanation:

Human activities are the various actions for recreation, living, or necessity done by people. For instance it includes leisure, entertainment, industry, recreation, war, and exercise.

Over time, destruction of such habitats leads to reduced biodiversity, weakening the Earth's ecosystems, and ultimately posing a major threat to human life. While, significant tracts of habitat have been lost, and along with them many species of plant and animal, steps can be taken to slow and even reverse the process.

One of the most significant ways in which humans have impacted on the lives of other species is by causing climate change. Many animals, including birds and frogs, now breed much earlier in spring in Britain than they did 20 years ago. Whether or not this is having a harmful effect on them has yet to be determined.

Fill in the blanks: Electrons are ___ in an ionic bond, whereas they are___ in a polar covalent bond, and ___ in a nonpolar cova
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "transferred; unequally shared; equally shared".

Explanation:

Ionic bonding occurs when a positively charged atom (cation) interacts with a negatively charged atom (anion). In ionic bonding, the cation transfers its electron to the anion. In polar covalent bonding, electrons are unequally shared. This means that the electrons spend more time in an atom than the other, which gives partial positive and negative charges to the atoms. On the other hand in nonpolar covalent bonding, the electrons are equally shared and no charges are created.
