Chemistry
1 answer:
Gwar [14]3 years ago
7 0

Given molecule:

CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3

- The molecule contain only C and H atoms, hence it is a hydrocarbon

- The C atoms in the linear chain are linked together by carbon-carbon single bonds, hence it is a saturated compound

- It has 7 C atoms and 16 H atoms, hence the molecular formula is C7H16

-The molecular formula can be generally represented as CnH2n+2 where n = 7. This corresponds to the general molecular formula for alkanes

The given molecule is best described as an <u>alkane</u>

Use the periodic table to write the electron configuration for rubidium (Rb) in noble has notation
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Rb: [Kr] 5s  

Step-by-step explanation:

Rb is element 37, the first element in Period 5.

It has one valence electron, so its valence electron configuration is 5s.

The noble gas configuration uses the symbol of the previous noble gas as a shortcut for the electron configurations of the inner electrons.

The preceding noble gas is Kr, so the electron configuration is Rb: [Kr] 5s.

Function of leaf in points​
klasskru [66]

Explanation:

The main function of a leaf is to produce food for the plant by photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, the substance that gives plants their characteristic green colour, absorbs light energy.

  • Photosynthesis.
  • Transpiration.
  • Guttation.
  • Storage.
  • Defense.

I will be describing what each of these do to the plant.

  • <u>Photosynthesis: </u>Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities.
  • <u>Transpiration</u>: Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.
  • <u>Guttation</u>: Guttation is the exudation of drops of xylem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants, such as grasses, and a number of fungi. Guttation is not to be confused with dew, which condenses from the atmosphere onto the plant surface. Guttation generally happens during the night time.
  • <u>Storage</u>: A storage organ is a part of a plant specifically modified for storage of energy (generally in the form of carbohydrates) or water. Storage organs often grow underground, where they are better protected from attack by herbivores.
  • <u>Defense</u>: The first line of defense in plants is an intact and impenetrable barrier composed of bark and a waxy cuticle. Both protect plants against herbivores. Other adaptations against herbivores include hard shells, thorns (modified branches), and spines (modified leaves).

<u>Hope this helps!</u>

Why does potassium explode when exposed to water?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The highly unstable pure sodium or potassium wants to lose an electron and this splits the water atom, producing a negatively charged hydroxide ion and hydrogen and forming an explosive gas that ignites.
