Answer: ability to undergo a chemical reaction
Explanation:
Answer:
The chemist can either:
a. Use a small fractionation apparatus.
b. Add a compound with a much higher boiling point.
Explanation:
Using a smaller fractionation apparatus or Vigreux column will help to minimize loss of the distillate.
If a compound with a higher boiling point is added, the vapors of this liquid will displace the vapors of this small amount of compound with a lower boiling point. This compound with a higher boiling point is known as a Chaser.
Answer:
Krypton
Explanation:
When Selenium forms an ion, it is trying to become krypton which is a noble gas.
Selenium belongs to the oxygen group on the periodic table. In this group, the atoms prefers to gain two electrons to complete their octet. When selenium gains two electrons, its octet is complete.
This will make the atom resemble krypton on the periodic table of elements.
This structure which is an octet confers a special stability on the element.
