So platinum is a transition metal. In general transition metals are reducers, which means they can give the electrons they have, to the sodium atoms. Also in chemistry we look at sub orbitals rather that shells(2,8,8). So due to the energy from heat, the d orbital split as electrons move to a higher energy level. Some of the electrons are given to the sodium ions and therefore the flame changes colour to yellow.
The excitation of the electrons is caused by them getting energy and so moving up an energy level. This energy is released and the electron returns to it's original state. The energy released, however, does not release in the same direction, but in different/various directions. Therefore the colour of the light changes as some energy is released in the surrounding.
Answer:
It cannot conduct electricity, however adding salt or sugar will make the water have impurities/other substance making it easier to conduct electricity
Explanation:
Distilled water by itself does not contain impurities, thus, it cannot <em>conduct </em>electricity.
When you put salt in water, the water molecules pull the sodium and chlorine ions apart so they are floating freely, increasing the conductivity.

Answer:
Box is made up of <em>copper</em>, because density is <em>8.96 g/cm³.</em>
Explanation:
Given data:
Volume of box = 17.63 cm³
Mass of box = 158 g
Which metal box is this = ?
Solution:
First we will calculate the density of box then we will compare it with the density value of given metals.
d = m/v
d = 158 g/ 17.63 cm³
d = 8.96 g/cm³
The calculated density is similar to the given density value of copper thus box is made up of copper.
The chemical formula for table sugar is C12H22O11. From the formula, you can say that it is an organic molecule where in every molecule contains 12 atoms of carbon, 22 atoms of hydrogen and 11 atoms of oxygen. There are 45 atoms in total in one molecule of sugar.
