The answer is "elements" :)
Explanation:
The more reactive element replaces less reactive element during chemical reaction.
Since, potassium is more reactive than beryllium. When potassium reacts with beryllium choride, it replaces beryllium and forms potassium chloride and produces beryllium.
Theodore Richards; first scienstist to recieve nobel prize in Chemistry, earning the award "in recognition of his exact determinations of atomic weights of a large number of chemical elements."
In thermal cracking, high temperatures (typically in the range of 450°C to 750°C) and pressures (up to about 70 atmospheres) are used to break the large hydrocarbons into smaller ones. Thermal cracking gives mixtures of products containing high proportions of hydrocarbons with double bonds - alkenes.
