one part of dalton's atomic theory states: compounds are formed by combinations of atoms from two or more elements. is this stat

ANEK [815]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The statement is considered to be true

Explanation:

The statement is true because when elements chemically combine, there are interactions between their valence electrons, causing the two elements to be bonded together to form what is known as a compound.

Compounds can only be formed from interactions between two or more elements. examples include:

Hydrogen + Oxygen = H2O (water)

Sodium + Chlorine = NaCl

Note that if atoms of the same element combine, what is formed is a molecule, not a compound. Some atoms usually do this to attain stability. examples include = O2 H2 and  N2. They are oxygen molecule, hydrogen molecule, and nitrogen molecule respectively.

Compounds are only formed when different elements combine to attain electronic stability.

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Y is a 3-chloro-3-methylpentane.

The structure is shown in the figure attached.

Explanation:

The radical chlorination of 3-methylpentane can lead to a tertiary substituted carbon (Y) and to a secondary one (X).

The E2 elimination mechanism, as shown in the figure, will happen with a simulyaneous attack from the base and elimination of the chlorine. This means that primary and secondary substracts undergo the E2 mechanism faster than tertiary substracts.

Katen [24]
I would say it should be Einstein's famous equation of e=mc^2 which means energy =mass x the speed of light squared. With this equation Einstein showed that energy comes from a mass travelling at the speed of light squared which is a fundamental equation to explain physical phenomena.

It is common for students to overshoot the endpoint, meaning they add too much NaOH(aq) from the buret, which causes the solutio
umka2103 [35]

Answer: the percentage of acetic acid will be low.

Explanation: The major aim during titration of acids and bases is to  determine the endpoint , that is exact point where the acid  in the beaker changes colour, (in this case, pink )with an additional  drop from the burette containing the base, since it is usually difficult to mark the equivalence point that tells us when  all the substrate in the beaker has been neutralized completely with the buretted substance.

Overshooting the end point is  an error which can occur when the person involved in the  the titration accidently goes beyond this  endpoint by adding too much of the substance(base) from the burette into the beaker missing the exact endpoint.

This implies that the person  has  added too much of the burreted liquid, ie the base than required  , making the acid in the beaker to continue to react resulting  to a lower concentration of the acid (acetic acid)  with excess base.(NaOH)

A students drawing of a nitrogen atom is shown. What change would make the model more accurate?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

C - show 7 neutrons in the nucleus

Explanation:

Use process of elimination:

-Answer A will not work because electrons are not in the nucleus.

-Answer B will change the atom's identity from nitrogen to fluorine; it will not work.

-Answer D will create a nitrogen ion, which is not what the prompt is asking for (an atom); it will not work.

The only logical answer is C, as that is the only one that is also true.
