Chlorine is a halogen and all halogens and oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen are diatomics
kirza4 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Neon is in group 8/0, which means that it has a full outer shell. Atoms react to get a full outer shell but as neon already has a full outer shell, it doesn't react and stays monatomic.

However, chlorine is in group 7, so it needs 1 more electron to complete its outer shell, two chlorine atom share one electron each with each other so they have full outer shells. This is why chlorine is diatomic.

a new weight-loss fad claims that you can reduce your mass simply by traveling to the Moon where gravity is weaker. why is this
Lilit [14]
Your mass can never change no matter where you are since mass is the amount of matter you contain.  By going to the moon, you do become lighter due to the weaker gravity but the amount of matter that you are made of (your mass) does not change.

I hope the helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.

8. A student filled a graduated cylinder with water and read the meniscus at 25.8 mL. The student
fomenos

Answer:

<h2>30.2 g</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

mass = Density × volume

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

From the question

volume = 35.9 ml - 25.8 ml = 10.1 mL

We have

mass = 2.99 × 10.1 = 30.199 g

We have the final answer as

<h3>30.2 g</h3>

Hope this helps you
