A heating curve has two flat lines, or plateaus. What does the plateau at the lower temperature represent?
2 answers:
Answer:
B) Melting of a solid.
Explanation:
- Kindly, see the attached image.
- It is known that the substance has different 3 phases (solid, liquid, and gas).
- By heating, the substance converted from solid phase to liquid phase passing by a plateau that represents equilibrium between the two phases.
- By further heating, the solid completely converted into liquid phase, then converted to gaseous phase passing by a plateau that represents an equilibrium between the liquid an gaseous phase.
<em>The plateau at the lower temperature represent: B) Melting of a solid.</em>

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When there is a negative charge on an atom then we add the charge with the number of electrons. Whereas when there is a positive charge on an atom then we subtract the charge from the number of electrons.
Atomic number of chlorine is 17. So, number of electrons present in is 17 + 1 = 18 electrons.
Atomic number of cobalt is 27. So, number of electrons present in is 27 - 4 = 23 electrons.
Atomic number of iron is 26. So, number of electrons present in is 26 - 2 = 24 electrons.
Atomic number of vanadium is 23. So, number of electrons present in V is 23 electrons.
Atomic number of scandium is 21. So, number of electrons present in is 21 + 2 = 23 electrons.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given species, has the greatest number of electrons.
