Would you have predicted that ethanol would burn and produce energy? explain

Yes, if you look at the molecular structure of ethanol, or even just evaluate the name you should be able to predict that ethanol will burn, thus producing energy. 
Ethanol has a pretty simple molecular structure. The important part is the Oxygen single bonded to a Hydrogen at the end of the molecule. This O-H bond classifies ethanol as an alcohol. You can also tell that ethanol is an alcohol because both end with the same letters (ol). From everyday experience you will probably know that alcohol is flammable and burns readily. Thus, ethanol will burn and produce energy.

I hope this helps!

Calcium has an atomic number of 20 and 2 valence electrons. Oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and 6 valence electrons. Neon has a
Arlecino [84]

Calcium is in group 2 period 4 of periodic table

Oxygen is in group 16 and period 2

neon is in period 2 and group 16.

Explanation:

Valence electron in calcium =2

valence electron in oxygen= 6

valence electron in neon= 8 valence electron.

 Calcium is placed in s block group 2 of period 4.

oxygen is placed in period 2 and group 16

Neon is a p block element, placed in period 2 and group 16.

Calcium is a elecropositive element which can share or donates its electrons to for compound, it has oxidation state of +2 and hence placed in group 2

Oxygen is electronegative as it can accept or share 2 electrons to form a bond. It has oxidation of -2.

Example is CaO.

Neon has its outer shell complete it is an inert element which will not share or donate electrons. it has oxidation state of 0

Which of the following is true for a nuclear reaction? Electrons are lost Electrons are gained Identity of element changes Ident
anyanavicka [17]

All nuclear chemistry revolves around changing the identity of base elements.

The answer is the third statement.

Because nuclear chemistry is changing base elements' identities, the atomic number/number of protons is what is changing.  While the number of electrons can change, your question is too general to know whether electrons are going to be gained, lost, or retained in the reaction.
