Answer:
The number of atoms in the outermost shell
Explanation:
For example, the electron shells in the alkali metals contain the following numbers of electrons:
Li: 2, 1
Na: 2, 8, 1
K: 2, 8, 8, 1
They all have one electron in their outermost shell, and they have similar chemical properties.
I think the correct answer from the list of choices above is option B. <span>The chemical combination of two or more different atoms in fixed amounts is called a compound. There are two type of compounds namely the ionic and covalent compounds.</span>
Answer:
2.8g/cm³
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of cube = 42g
Volume of cube = 15cm³
Unknown:
Density of the cube = ?
Solution:
Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance. It is mathematically expressed as:
Density = 
So;
Density = 
= 2.8g/cm³
Answer:
Mostly Para
Explanation:
First, let's assume that the molecule is the toluene (A benzene with a methyl group as radical).
Now the nitration reaction is a reaction in which the nitric acid in presence of sulfuric acid, react with the benzene molecule, to introduce the nitro group into the molecule. The nitro group is a relative strong deactiviting group and is metha director, so, further reactions that occur will be in the metha position.
Now, in this case, the methyl group is a weak activating group in the molecule of benzene, and is always ortho and para director for the simple fact that this molecule (The methyl group) is a donor of electrons instead of atracting group of electrons. Therefore for these two reasons, when the nitration occurs,it will go to the ortho or para position.
Now which position will prefer to go? it's true it can go either ortho or para, however, let's use the steric hindrance principle. Although the methyl group it's not a very voluminous and big molecule, it still exerts a little steric hindrance, and the nitro group would rather go to a position where no molecule is present so it can attach easily. It's like you have two doors that lead to the same place, but in one door you have a kid in the middle and the other door is free to go, you'll rather pass by the door which is free instead of the door with the kid in the middle even though you can pass for that door too. Same thing happens here. Therefore the correct option will be mostly para.
