How many electrons are found in their outer shell ?

Barbara is conducting an experiment to observe heat flow. She places one piece of metal in a freezer at -18 degrees Celsius (°C)

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is heat will flow from the boiling water into the frozen metal.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be destroyed nor created but it can be transformed from 1 form to another form.

There are 3 processes of heat transfer:

<u>Conduction:</u> This type of heat transfer occurs when there is direct contact between the two objects.
<u>Convection:</u> This type of heat transfer occurs when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas) due to the movement of hot layers to the top and cold layers to the bottom which leads to convection currents.
<u>Radiation:</u> This type of heat transfer occurs when there is a direct transfer of energy through space.

The heat moves from a hot surface to a cold surface to maintain equilibrium.

We are given:

A metal is placed in a freezer (cold object) and another metal is placed in an oven (hot object) and then both the metals are placed in boiling water.

Initially, the heat will flow from the boiling water (hot object) into the frozen metal (cold object) to maintain equilibrium

Hence, the correct answer is heat will flow from the boiling water into the frozen metal.

Which of the following happens when an ionic bond is formed? (1 point)

bazaltina [42]

This problem is asking for an explanation of what happens when an ionic bond is formed. Although the choices are not given in the question, one can find them on the attached file and realize the answer is C "a less electronegative atom donates an electron to a more electronegative atom" according to:

<h3>Types of bonds:</h3><h3 />

In chemistry, the forces that hold atoms together are known as chemical bonds and act like connections for atoms to form compounds. There exist ionic and covalent bonds, so the formers occur when electrons are thoroughly donated from the least electronegative atom to the most electronegative one.

On the flip side, covalent bonds occur when the electrons are shared between the two or more of the atoms forming the compound. In such a way, one can discard choices A and B because they are more related to covalent bonds.

Therefore, one can select C "a less electronegative atom donates an electron to a more electronegative atom" as the correct answer, because not all the elements are able to donate more than one single electron, and the less its valency, the more ionic the compound turns out to be.
