Answer:
B) The term "inert" was dropped because it no longer described all the group 8A elements.
Explanation:
Inert elements in chemistry simply refers to elements that are chemically inactive and are not expected to form any compounds. this is the general belief for the group 8 elements as they all have complete duplet/octet configurations (and ideally, they ought to be very stable with no tendency to form compounds by participating in the loss and gain of electrons). However the discovery of compounds like xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) proved this to be wrong.
Again, the reason the term - inert gses was droppedis beacause this term is not strictly accurate because several of them do take part in chemical reactions.
After dropping the term - Inert gases, they are now referred to as noble gases.
Answer:
32km/hr
Explanation:
The question asks to calculate the average speed for a boat.
Mathematically, the average speed is the total distance divided by the total time
Let’s get the total distance traveled:
That would be 70km + 26km = 96km
Now the total time taken would be 3 as the boat did not move at all for an hour.
The average speed is thus 96/3 = 32km/hr

Answer:
10 neutrons
Explanation:
The mass number is equivalent to the protons + neutrons so...
18 - 8 = 10 neutrons
