Answer:

            Lithium

Explanation:

                  Alkali metals are group of metals which are present in first group of periodic table. As we know atomic number is equal to number of protons contained by a particular element. Therefore, the alkali metals along with there number of protons are listed below;

Alkali Metal                                         Number of Protons

Lithium                                                               3

Sodium                                                             11

Potassium                                                         19

Rubidium                                                         37

Cesium                                                             55

Francium                                                          87

Hence, it is cleared from above table that Lithium is having fewer protons than 10.

Based on the name, which substance is a covalent compound?
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

dinitrogen pentoxide

Explanation:

Based on the research, dinitrogen pentoxide is a chemical compound containing only nitrogen and oxygen which is both nonmetal. When two nonmetals or two negatively charged atoms try to form bonds, they always form covalent bonds. Hence, Dinitrogen Pentoxide is not ionic - it is covalent.

How many elements and atoms are in marble
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientists know that there are 6x1023 molecules in a mole - so we have about 0.5x1023 molecules in our marble…and since every silicon dioxide molecule has one atom of silicon and two of oxygen, we have a grand total of 1.5x1023 atoms. That's 150,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms

Table salt, nacl(s), and sugar, c12h22o11(s), are accidentally mixed. a 3.50-g sample is burned, and 2.40 g of co2(g) is produce
MAXImum [283]
First we will write the formula for the combustion of the sugar.

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + 12O₂ → 12CO₂ + 11H₂O

We have produced 2.40 g of CO₂. We will convert this to moles of CO₂ and then convert that value to moles of sugar.

2.40 g / 44.0 g/mol = 0.0545 moles CO₂ x 1 mole C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁/12 mole CO₂ = 0.00455 moles of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁

We can now convert the moles of sugar to a mass of sugar.

0.00455 moles C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ x 342 g/mol = 1.56 g C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁

We want to determine the mass percentage of salt in the 3.5 g mixture of sugar and salt.

3.5 g mixture - 1.56 g sugar = 1.94 g salt

(1.94 g salt/ 3.5g mixture) x 100% = 55%

Therefore, the mass percentage of table salt in the mixture is 55%.
