Answer:
carbon
Explanation:
Atomic radius represents the distance from the nucleus to the outer shell of an element.
As we move down the group, the metallic bond becomes more stable and the formation of forming covalent bond decreases down the group due to the large size of elements.
Covalent and metallic bonding leads to higher melting points. Due to a decrease in attractive forces from carbon to lead there is a drop in melting point.
Carbon forms large covalent molecules than silicon and hence has a higher melting point than silicon.
Similarly, Ge also forms a large number of covalent bonds and has a smaller size as compared to that of Sn. Hence melting point decreases from Ge to Sn.
The order will be C>Si>Ge>Pb>Sn.

Answer: option <span>C. the total energy inside the calorimeter will decrease.
</span>
Justification:
The answer is a direct application of the first law of thermodynamic (the law of conservation of energy).
By telling that the t<span>he calorimeter is sealed so that there is no heat exchanged between the contents of the container and the surrounding air, the first law of thermodynamics implies that the total energy inside the calorimeter will not change.
</span>
<span>That statement, without adding any more is enough justification.
</span>
Regarding, the other statements, you can show they are true:
<span>A.
the thermometer will show an increase in temperature.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Since the reaction is exothermic, the heat released will increase the temperature inside the sealed calorimeter,which, of course, is shown by the termometer.

</span><span>B. The potential
energy of the products will be lower than that of the reactants.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>In any exothermic reaction, the potential energy of the products is lower than that of the reactants, because the heat released is lost by the reactants when they react and transform into the products.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>D. The water
increases in temperature as the reaction gives off heat</span>.
Sure. The heat cannot leave the sealed calorimeter, but the water inside the calorimeter will absorb that heat: the molecules of water will gain kinetic energy and so its temperature will be increase.
If you were allowed to taste it sugar will be more sweeter whereas salt wouldnt. But if you were to touch it then sugar is more tinnier than salt.
Answer:
1
Explanation:
An unknown element, X, is a nonmetal that contains seven valence electrons. Element X most likely forms <u>1 </u>covalent bond.
Nonmetals gain the electron to complete the octet and form anion. Consider the example of halogen.
When it combine with another halogen atom they form covalent bond. There are seven valance electrons in outer most orbital of halogen atom. By combining with other halogen atom they form one covalent bond and complete the octet.
For example:
Cl atom combine with other Cl atom and form Cl₂.
