What substance is neither an acid nor a base? How does it stay neutral? HURRY PLS
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

21. Most metals are brittle.

22. increases from top to bottom within the group

23. Neon is the most stable element because its highest occupied energy level is filled.

24. transfer of electrons

25. electrons are not shared equally between atoms

26. BeCl2

27. double-replacement and decomposition

28. exothermic

29. The reaction rate decreases.

30. The salt dissolved most quickly in the warm water.

31. saturated

32. feels slippery

33. hydroxide ions in solution

34. stay about the same

35-40. I do not know.

41. a bee hovering around a bee hive

42. the number of valence electrons in atoms of the element

Explanation:

21. Metals are ductile and malleable (conveniently also characteristics for chewing gum). They are stretchy and squishy. Brittle is the opposite of stretchy and squishy, and is a characteristic of non-metals.

22. On the periodic table, elements higher up are safer to use in labs. They are safer because they are less likely to react with other substances. Therefore the tendency to react with other substances increases from top to bottom within the group.

23. "Noble gases stable" (periodic table song by ASAP Science). Neon is a noble gas, therefore it is stable. When elements have only one electron to gain or lose, they are very reactive or least stable.

24. The formation of an ionic bond (metal + non-metal) is caused by the giving and receiving of electrons. Neutrons and protons do not transfer. Electrons are shared in covalent/molecular bonds (between non-metals).

25. A polar covalent bond occurs between non-metals, therefore they share electrons (ionic bonds transfer electrons). Non-metals become anions (whereas metals become cations). Polar bonds have unequal sharing and nonpolar bonds have equal sharing.

26. A one-to-two ratio of  beryllium ions to chloride ions means for every Be, there are two Cl. The number of atoms is represented by the ratio, and the numbers of atoms are written as subscripts after the element symbol.

27. MgCO2  reacting with HNO3  to form magnesium nitrate and carbonic acid is a double-replacement reaction. The elements in the beginning substances "switch partners" to form the products.

Carbonic acid then breaks down into water and carbon dioxide is decomposition. This occurs when the elements that make up a compound are split up.

28. In 2Cu + O2  => 2CuO + 315 kJ , the energy is on the right side. The right side is the products, or the stuff that was made. kJ is a unit to measure energy, therefore energy was made. Exothermic is the term that means energy was released.

29. Since oxygen is needed for a fire to burn, decreasing the oxygen slows the reaction rate (the reaction is burning, formally known as combustion).

30. Two things help substances dissolve: heat and stirring. Warm water is hotter than room-temperature water and ice water. This makes the salt dissolve faster.

31. A solution that contains more solute than it would normally hold is saturated. Saturated means there is a more than concentrated amount of solute in the solution. Concentrated is when there is a maximum amount of solute that will dissolve.

32. Acids do not feel slippery -- that is a characteristic of a base. To remember, bases are generally soaps and soaps are slippery. Acids taste sour  and bases taste bitter. Both acids and bases change the color of an indicator .

33. A base produces hydroxide ions, represented by OH. The OH is usually at the end of the chemical formula. Acids produce hydrogen ions, generally written at the front of the chemical formula.

34. Adding a little bit of acid to a buffer will cause the pH of the solution to stay about the same, probably increase a little. Buffer solutions are meant to make the pH "buffer". To remember, DVDs used to buffer. It's the same thing as "lag" for phones.

35-40: I'm sorry, I have no answer.

41. Electrons orbit like the plants revolve around the sun. Electrons revolve around a nucleus. A bee hovering around a bee hive  is probably flying around it in circles.

42. The tendency of an element to react is closely related to the number of valence electrons in atoms of the element.  If the valency is 8, the electron shell is full. The element is stable, opposite to reactive -- this applies to all noble gases (group 8A on the periodic table). If the valency is 1 or 7, the element is very close to being stable but not, the "desire" is so great and makes the element very reactive.

What makes the great pyramid unusual among the places on antipater’s list?
Brut [27]

Answer : It is only one of those ancient sights which still exist and gives ancient antiquity to the great pyramid in Egypt. It is believed that the pyramids are the definition of prayers that still remains in the heart of the local people.

It is also one of seven wonders of the world that is under world heritage. Pyramids where only found in Egypt and nowhere else.

What is the easiest way to explain molecular compounds and covalent bonds also adding information about valance electrons?
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Molecular compounds consist of two or more nonmetals. The nonmetals that make up a molecular compound are held together by covalent/molecular bonds. Covalent bonds is known as the "sharing" of valence electrons between two or more chemical species. Valence electrons are shared so that the atoms of the compound can become stable, much like how ionic bonds transfer valence electrons between atoms to achieve stability.

NEED HELP ON 17,18,19,20,21,22,23. ONLY IF YOU ARE POSITIVE ABOUT THE ANSWER!!!!
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

17. D. Chemical change

18. C. Cell wall

19. D. To transfer matter and energy within and between organisms.

20. A. Transporting materials

21. C. Carbon dioxide

22. A. Cellular respiration

23. C. Produce food and give off oxygen

Explanation:

I have been able to supply the correct answers. The cell wall functions as a structure that provides structural support and protection to the cell. It is tough, flexible and at times rigid. In a chemical change, new materials with new properties are manufactured. So, the process of photosynthesis is a chemical change.

The endoplasmic reticulum actually transports material. It transports materials like protein and lipids made within the cell and sends it to where they are needed.

Carbon dioxide  is the the gas that animals give off and plants use it during photosynthesis. Cellular respiration involves the activities that result to the breaking down of food in order to release energy.
