<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Option B is the Answer. </em>

<em>Both are highly reactive.</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

For a neutral atom,

Atomic number = number of electrons = number of protons.

We can identify the element from its atomic number

It says 9 and 11 are the atomic number. By looking at the periodic table we know the elements are Fluorine and sodium.

Na has 2 electron in the first shell and 8 in the second and 1 in the outer shell

F has 2 electron in the first shell and 7 in the outer shell.

Atoms with less than 8 electrons in the outer shell are not stable. In order to attain stability atom either loses or gains or shares its electron and gets 8 electron in its outer shell to become more reactive.

Sodium easily loses its outer shell electron and becomes reactive

Na (2,8,1) becomes Na^+ (2, 8)

Fluorine gains easily an electron and becomes reactive.  

F (2, 7) becomes F^- (2, 8)

Having 8 electrons in its outershell electron makes an atom more stable.

A scientist finds that a sample of matter contains three types of atoms. The sample can be any of the following, except:
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. element

Explanation:

The sample cannot be an element because an element - or <em>elemental substance</em> - cannot be decomposed into simpler substances. Thus, it cannot be composed by differents types of atoms. For example, an element is carbon (C).

As the sample contains <u>three types of atoms</u>, it can be a compound, a molecule or a mixture, because they can be composed by different types of atoms - of different chemical elements. For example, the sample could contain the element carbon (C) combined with other elements, for example oxygen (O) or hydrogen (H), amoing others.

How many grams of copper (II) hydroxide can be prepared from 2.4 grams of copper (II) nitrate (Cu(NO3)2 ) and excess sodium hydr
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

percentage yield = 67%

Explanation:

Mass of Cu(NO₃)₂  = 15.25 g

Mass of NaOH   = 12.75 g

Percentage yield = ?

Solution:

Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NaOH   →  Cu(OH)₂ + 2NaNO₃

Moles of Cu(NO₃)₂:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 15.25 g /187.56 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.08 mol

Moles of NaOH :

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 12.75 g / 40 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.32 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Cu(OH)₂ with NaOH and Cu(NO₃)₂.      NaOH             :      Cu(OH)₂

                               2                   :          1

                               0.32              :           1/2×0.32 = 0.16 mol

                            Cu(NO₃)₂         :           Cu(OH)₂

                                  1                  :               1

                             0.08                :              0.08

The number of moles produced by  Cu(NO₃)₂  are less so it will limiting reactant.

Mass of Cu(OH)₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.08 mol × 97.6 g/mol

Mass = 7.808 g

Theoretical yield = 7.808 g

Percent yield:

percentage yield = Actual yield/ theoretical yield ×  100

percentage yield = 5.23 g/  7.808 g ×  100

percentage yield = 0.67 ×  100

percentage yield = 67%

How do forensic scientists determine the time of death? There are timely pieces of evidence that help scientists with this task.
UNO [17]

I have done some research as well as asking some friends. This is what I came up with. Not sure if it is 100% correct.

step = time after death

1. Livor Mortis = 20-30 minutes

2. Eyes film (cloud) = 2 hours

3. Rigor Mortis begins = 4-6 hours

4. Empty small intestines = 12 hours

5. Bloating = 3-5 days

6. Decay
