Answer:

2. X₂O

Explanation:

  • Elements in group 1A are known as alkali metal. Examples include lithium, sodium, and potassium among others.
  • These elements have one valence electron in the outermost energy level and therefore form cations with a charge of +1.
  • They have a valency of 2.
  • Oxygen, on the other hand,has a valency of 2.
  • Therefore, a chemical formula of a compound formed when an element in group 1A say X reacts with oxygen will be X₂O.
  • To write the formula, we identify the symbol of the elements and their valence.
  • Then the atoms of the two elements exchange their valencies which are written as a subscript on each symbol of an element.

Cytokinesis happens differently for plant and animal cells. Both separate cytoplasm between two new daughter cells. However, whi
victus00 [196]

Answer:

animal cell

Explanation:

Cytokinesis -

It refers to the process of cell division, which takes place during mitosis, is known as cytokinesis.

The process of cytokinesis is different for animal cell and plant cell.

  • Where, in case of plant cell, a separation, known as cell plate is formed along the center of the parent cell, which is responsible for the separation of the cells.
  • Whereas, in case of animal cell, the plasma membrane contracts itself along the center, until the two daughter cells are separated from each other.

Hence, from the given information of the question,

The correct answer is animal cell.

What is the easiest way for atoms without a full valence shell to gain a full valence shell?
sergey [27]

Most atoms do not. For those atoms that do not have a full valence shell (which usually would contain eight electrons, except for hydrogen and helium, where it would contain two), something has to change. So nature's tendency toward a full valence shell will lead to one of two things: The gain or loss of electrons.

What term describes the process of lowering the boiling point of a hydrocarbon by exposing it to different environmental treatme
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Cracking.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a reaction in which two or more atoms of a chemical element react to form a chemical compound. An example of a chemical reaction involving hydrocarbons is cracking.

Hydrocarbon can be defined as an organic compound that comprises of hydrogen and carbon only.

In Organic chemistry, cracking refers to the process of lowering the boiling point of a heavy, complex or long-chain hydrocarbon such as kerogens by exposing it to different environmental treatments such as hydrogen enriched catalysts, pressure or high temperatures, in order to produce smaller, lighter and more useful molecules (alkanes and alkenes) such as gasoline, diesel fuel, etc.

Equations can be balanced by using the half-reaction method. Which step should be completed immediately after finding the oxidat
Dovator [93]
After finding the oxidation states of atoms, you identify the half reactions (option c).

The half reactions are given by the change of the oxidation states of the atoms.

For example if Cu is in the left side with oxidation state 0 and in the other side with oxidation state 2+, then there you have a half reaction (oxidation reaction). And if you have O with oxidation state 0 in the left side  and with oxidation state 2- in the right side, there you have other half reaction (reducing reaction).
