Only one atom because atom with 17 electrons need that one electron to become stable
Continental drift is the movement of Earth’s continents over long periods of time. An evidence for this is that some continents look like puzzle pieces that can fit together, such as South America and Africa. Another evidence is that fossils of the same type have been found in different continents, far apart - suggesting that the two continents once were joined. Another evidence is that identical rocks were found at both sides of the Atlantic Ocean by Alfred Wegener, the main developer of the continents drift theory.
Answer:
Explanation:
In an aqueous solution of potassium sulfate (K₂SO₄), the solute is K₂SO₄ and the solvent is water. The percentage by mass describes the grams of solute there are dissolved per 100 grams of solution. It can be calculated as:
mass percentage = (mass of solute/total mass of solution) x 100%
For example, in an aqueous solution which is 2% by mass of K₂SO₄, there are 2 grams of K₂SO₄ per 100 g of solution.
Answer:
- <u><em>It is positive when the bonds of the product store more energy than those of the reactants.</em></u>
Explanation:
The <em>standard enthalpy of formation</em>, <em>ΔHf</em>, is defined as the energy required to form 1 mole of a substance from its contituent elements under standard conditions of pressure and temperature.
Then, per defintion, when the elements are already at their standard states, there is not energy involved to form them from that very state; this is, the standard enthalpy of formation of the elements in their standard states is zero.
It is not zero for the compounds in its standard state, because energy should be released or absorbed to form the compounds from their consituent elements. Thus, the first choice is false.
When the bonds of the products store more energy than the those of the reactants, the difference is:
- ΔHf = ΔHf products - ΔHf reactants > 0, meaning that ΔHf is positive. Hence, the second statement is true.
Third is false because forming the compounds may require to use (absorb) or release (produce) energy, which means that ΔHf could be positive or negative.
Fourth statement is false, because the standard state of many elements is not liquid. For example, it is required to supply energy to iron to make it liquid. Thus, the enthalpy of formation of iron in liquid state is not zero.
They have same electronic configuration
