Answer:2,8,18,7,3

Strontium has 38 electrons, adding up those numbers should make 38

Explanation:

The normal electronic configuration of strontium is 2,8,18,8,2, during excitation 1 electron is lost to the outermost shell from the inner shell carrying 8 electrons.

The proton number of an element corresponds with its electronic configuration, the electron at the outermost shell determines how reactive such element will be.

Most alkali metals are very reactive metals which strontium is one

Answer:

62,790J

Explanation:

Q=mcT

= 250g*4.186J/gc*80-20

=250*4.186*60=62,790J

Select the single best answer. Predict which of the following liquids has greater surface tension: ethanol (C2H5OH) or dimethyl

irina [24]

Answer:

Ethanol

Explanation :

The molecular structure of ethanol C2H5OH it is seen that there is a hydrogen atom attached to an oxygen atom, hence hydrogen bonding. This makes it has a greater surface tension than dimethyl ether.

Dimethy ether however has dipole moment in its structure. Dipole moments are said to be existent in a molecule when the charges are separated. This makes dimethyl ether have a lower surface tension. In the molecular tructure of dimethyl ether CH3OCH3) the oxygen atom is a negative atom in between two positive methyl group.
