The model of a “sea of electrons” helps explain ____.

Chemistry
2 answers:
TiliK225 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

C. Metallic bonds

Explanation:

The electron sea model is a model of metallic bonding in which cations are considered to be fixed points within a mobile 'sea' of electrons.

The electron sea model pictures the electrons on the surface of a metal being free to move from one atom to another. ... This means that in metallic bonding for the metal atom to become more stable it must release its electron density without the electrons being transferred to another atom.

Answer:

The correct answer is C.) metallic bonds

Explanation:

Metallic bonds are formed between metal compounds and are very strong. These links are explained by the "sea model of electrons", where valence electrons are ceded by each metal atom, becoming positive ions forming a three-dimensional crystalline network. These electrons move forming a network ("sea") that allows the union of the positive ions formed.

Describe the three main types of plate boundary interactions:
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

In the explanation

Explanation:

Divergent: When two plates are diverging from each other, meaning that the two plates are moving away from each other. Events that may occur include ridges or rifts.

Convergent: When two plates are moving towards each other.

If a continental plate and an oceanic plate are converging, the oceanic plate would slide underneath the continental plate since it is thinner. This would result in subduction, which means that part of the oceanic plate would hang underneath the continental plate, where magma can melt the hanging part.

If two continental plates are converging, the crash would result in mountains or volcanic activity. Magma could rise and rush from the crack. There would be a bump in these tectonic plates.

Transform: When two plates are sliding past each other. Earthquakes can occur when the plates are sliding. When an oceanic plate is involved, the movement of the plates could cause a tsunami as well. The water above the transform fault could rise, and grow bigger and bigger. The 2011 Japan Tsunami is a good example of this.

Which piece of the planetary object data could be used to decide if there actually is a solid surface to land on?
zloy xaker [14]
A planetary surface is where the solid (or liquid) material of the outer crust on certain types of astronomical objects contacts the atmosphere or outer space. Planetary surfaces are found on solid objects of planetary mass, including terrestrial planets (including Earth), dwarf planets, natural satellites, planetesimals and many other small Solar System bodies (SSSBs).[1][2][3] The study of planetary surfaces is a field of planetary geology known as surface geology, but also a focus of a number of fields including planetary cartography, topography, geomorphology, atmospheric sciences, and astronomy. Land (or ground) is the term given to non-liquid planetary surfaces. The term landing is used to describe the collision of an object with a planetary surface and is usually at a velocity in which the object can remain intact and remain attached.

In differentiated bodies, the surface is where the crust meets the planetary boundary layer. Anything below this is regarded as being sub-surface or sub-marine. Most bodies more massive than super-Earths, including stars and gas giants, as well as smaller gas dwarfs, transition contiguously between phases, including gas, liquid, and solid. As such, they are generally regarded as lacking surfaces.

Planetary surfaces and surface life are of particular interest to humans as it is the primary habitat of the species, which has evolved to move over land and breathe air. Human space exploration and space colonization therefore focuses heavily on them. Humans have only directly explored the surface of Earth and the Moon. The vast distances and complexities of space makes direct exploration of even near-Earth objects dangerous and expensive. As such, all other exploration has been indirect via space probes.

Indirect observations by flyby or orbit currently provide insufficient information to confirm the composition and properties of planetary surfaces. Much of what is known is from the use of techniques such as astronomical spectroscopy and sample return. Lander spacecraft have explored the surfaces of planets Mars and Venus. Mars is the only other planet to have had its surface explored by a mobile surface probe (rover). Titan is the only non-planetary object of planetary mass to have been explored by lander. Landers have explored several smaller bodies including 433 Eros (2001), 25143 Itokawa (2005), Tempel 1 (2005), 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (2014), 162173 Ryugu (2018) and 101955 Bennu (2020). Surface samples have been collected from the Moon (returned 1969), 25143 Itokawa (returned 2010), 162173 Ryugu and 101955 Bennu.

Given that a theoretical yield for isolating Calcium Carbonate in this experiment would be 100%. From that information and based
Stels [109]

Answer:

It's well Explained below.

Explanation:

First of Excess product of CaCO_3 would be produced due to the fact that there would not be enough CaCl_2 to react with Na_2•CO_3. The main purpose of having stoichiometric quantities is for us to know the correct amount or near the correct amount of each reactant in order to create a product that will be close to the theoretical amount and thus have a higher percent yield.
