Answer:
Option-B (Carbon and Silicon)
Explanation:
Among the given pairs only carbon and silicon have the most similar properties. This is because,
Sodium and Magnesium belong to different groups. Sodium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Magnesium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.
Example:
2 Na + Cl₂ → NaCl
Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂
As shown in reactions when Sodium and Magnesium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.
Carbon and Silicon show almost same properties because both belong to Group IV hence both are capable of forming four bonds. Also, they share the same property of self linkage in making a long chains.
Argon and Chlorine also belong to two different groups. Argon is present in Group VIII (Noble Gases) and Chlorine is present in Group VII (Halogens). Hence, Argon is an inert specie which is non reactive while Chlorine gives different reaction easily.
Potassium and Calcium belong to different groups. Potassium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Calcium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.
Example:
2 K + Cl₂ → KCl
Ca + Cl₂ → CaCl₂
As shown in reactions when Potassium and Calcium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.
Answer:
1) Oil is less dense than water so when oil spills, it spreads across the entire water surface.
2) The oil spreads very quickly with lighter oils such as gasoline.
3) Wind, Currents, and Warm Temperatures will cause Oil to spread quicker.
In seawater, salt is the solute and water is the solvent.
An exothermic reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which energy is released to the environment in form of heat or light. Endothermic reaction in the other hand is a chemical reaction where energy is taken from the surroundings and thus the surroundings end up with less energy than they started with. In this case; the above reaction is an Exothermic reaction (heat is being released to the surroundings).
5 is the atomic number, 11 is the atomic mass and boron is the element
