Answer:

Cl-S-Si-Na-Mg

Explanation:

The elements want to have eight electrons in their outmost shell so that they are stable. Chlorine (Cl) is the one that has greatest tendency to accept an electron since it has 7 electrons, so it only needs one more to have a full shell and be stable, Sulfur (S) has 6 electrons, so it needs 2 more to have an outmost full shell, Silicon (Si) has 4 electrons in its outmost shell, so it needs 4 more to be stable, sodium (Na) has 1 electron in its outmost shell, so it needs 7 electrons, and Mg has 2 electrons in its outmost shell.

I know the correct answer is either a or d. Can anyone explain which one it is and why? CH3C ≡ CCH2CH2Cl is named: a. 1-chloro-3
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

CH₃C≡ CCH₂CH₂Cl

Since there are 5 carbons so the suffix used is "pent"

There is a triple bond so its alkyne

So the compound becomes 2-pentyne (2 because the triple bond is with the 2nd carbon)

Then,

The functional group of chlorine is attached with 5th carbon So the compound becomes

5-chloro,2-pentyne

Escaping from the haunted house, Anna ran home immediately to her chemistry lab
nevsk [136]
89.1% Au

The molar mass of Au2O3 is 2(196.97) + 3(16.00) = 441.94 g/mol
The mass percent of Au is therefore 2(196.97) / 441.94, which is 393.94/441.94 = 0.891 —> 89.1%

The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons is best quantified by the ________.
nevsk [136]

Answer:

b. electronegativity

Explanation:

The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons is best quantified by the _Electronegativity_.

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract a shared pair of electron which is loosely held. Polar molecules often possess such properties. The Halogen group (group 17) is famous for such property because it has the highest electronegativity in periodic table.

Which one is denser? question 2 options: the earth (a solid object) the sun, which is about 300,000 times more massive than the
tankabanditka [31]
The Earth, Mars or Jupiter should be denser than the Sun. Density is defined by mass and volume — components of object or matter. Although the sun is huge, it’s component is made up of mostly gas (hydrogen and helium). While Earth, though smaller than the Sun, contains heavier elements such as iron, sulfur, rocks, sediments, granite, basalt and water. Mars (composed of rocks and nutrients) and Jupiter (contains gases and compounds) as well are denser when compared to the Sun’s density. Referencing to our basic understanding of matter: solid and liquid should be heavier than gas.
