Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When metals react oxygen atom then they tend to form metal oxides which are basic in nature. This is because when metal oxides are added in water then it results in the formation of metal hydroxides which are alkaline in nature.

For example, 2Mg + O_{2} \rightarrow 2MgO

Whereas when metals react with hydrogen atom then it results in the formation of metal hydrides which are acidic in nature.

When metals react with non-metals then it results in the formation of ionic compounds. These ionic compounds can be acidic or basic in nature.

Not all metals react with metalloids as only a few of them react with metalloids.

Thus, we can conclude that metals react with oxygen (O) to form compounds that are alkaline.

A molecule of butane and a molecule of 2-butene both have the same total number of
Vinvika [58]
The correct answer is option 1. Butane and 2-butene have the same total number of carbon atoms. They both have four carbon atoms. They differ in there structure since the latter has double bonds on it. As a result of the different structure, they also have different properties.

As a result of the gold foil experiment, it was concluded that an atom(1) contains protons, neutrons, and electrons(2) contains
grin007 [14]
The answer is (2). If you recall Rutherford's gold foil experiment, remember that a stream of positively charged alpha particles were shot at a gold foil in the center of a detector ring. The important observation was that although most of the particles passed straight through the foil without being deflected, a tiny fraction of the alpha particles were deflected off the axis of the shot, and some were even deflected almost back to the point from which they were shot. The fact that some of the alpha particles were deflected indicated a positive charge (because same charges repel), and the fact that only a small fraction of the particles were deflected indicated that the positive charge was concentrated in a small area, probably residing at the center of the atom.

A 4.0 L balloon has a pressure of 406 kPa. When the pressure increases to 2,030 kPa, what is the volume? *
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The new volume when pressure increases to 2,030 kPa is 0.8L

BOYLE'S LAW:

The new volume of a gas can be calculated using Boyle's law equation:

P1V1 = P2V2

Where;

  1. P1 = initial pressure (kPa)
  2. P2 = final pressure (kPa)
  3. V1 = initial volume (L)
  4. V2 = final volume (L)

According to this question, a 4.0 L balloon has a pressure of 406 kPa. When the pressure increases to 2,030 kPa, the volume is calculated as:

406 × 4 = 2030 × V2

1624 = 2030V2

V2 = 1624 ÷ 2030

V2 = 0.8L

Therefore, the new volume when pressure increases to 2,030 kPa is 0.8L.
