Explanation:
1. Sedimentation and decantation cannot be used for all types of mixtures.
Decantation is a separation technique in which is used to separate immiscible liquids or mixtures containing liquid and solids within them.
In decantation, gravity is used to bring the denser materials to settle at the bottom.
For homogenous mixtures, it is not possible to use decantation. A solution of sugar and water will not decant.
2. Yes, mass of an object reduces the settling time of such object in a mixture.
The higher the mass, the faster the rate of settling. Also, as we know, mass is directly proportional to density. A body with a high density will settle faster in solution.
Lets take a moment to list all the characteristics of the group 18 (also known as noble gases and/or group 8) elements:
- They have 8 valence electrons.
- Don't need ANY more electrons because their octet is full (stable).
- Are stable
- Not reactive
- Known as the noble gases
Now.. lets take some time to think about why elements want to form ions:
Elements form ions to either gain or lose valence electrons to the element they bond with. This helps them GAIN a full octet. What is a full octet, you may ask? An octet is when an element has all 8 valence electrons and is stable, making it nonreactive.
Why would an element with a full octet want to bond? It already has a full octet, it does not need to bond.
That, my fellow Brainly user, is why the noble gases do not need to bond.
I really do hope this helps! Enjoy, and good luck on the studies.
