A period is a horizontal row and therefore these elements are all in the same period.

If you pull up an image of the periodic table, you will see that all of them are in the same row.

They are not isotopes of each other because an isotope is the same element with a different number of neutrons (example: carbon-12, carbon-13).

Hopefully I helped :)

Answer:

B) are in the same period of elements.

Explanation:

The elements sodium, magnesium, and silicon

A) are isotopes of each other . NO. Isotopes are 2 or more forms of the same element, with a different number of neutrons.

B) are in the same period of elements. YES.

Let's consider the electron configuration of these elements.

₁₁Na 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

₁₂Mg 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

₁₄Si 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p²

Since the valence electrons are in the level 3, they all belong to the third period in the periodic table.

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation 2x2 + 10x - 48 = 0?

Natali [406]

Answer:

Explanation:

$2x^2+10x-48\\=2\left(x^2+5x-24\right)\\x^2+5x-24\\=\left(x^2-3x\right)+\left(8x-24\right)\\=x\left(x-3\right)+8\left(x-3\right)\\=\left(x-3\right)\left(x+8\right)\\=2\left(x-3\right)\left(x+8\right)\\2\left(x-3\right)\left(x+8\right)=0\\x-3=0\\x = 0+3\\x = 3\\x+8=0\\x+8-8=0-8\\x=-8\\x=3,\:x=-8$

Nitroglycerin (c3h5n3o9) is a powerful explosive. its decomposition may be represented by 4c3h5n3o9 → 6n2 12co2 10h2o o2 this re

professor190 [17]

The balanced chemical reaction describing this decomposition is as follows:
4c3h5n3o9 .............> 6N2 + 12CO2 +10H2O + O2

From the periodic table:
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
mass of carbon = 12 grams
Therefore:
mass of C3H5N3O9 = 3(12) + 5(1) + 3(14) + 9(16) = 227 grams
mass of O2 = 2(16) = 32 grams

From the balanced chemical equation:
4(227) = 908 grams of C3H5N3O9 produce 32 grams of O2. Therefore, to know the amount of oxygen produced from 4.5*10^2 grams C3H5N3O9, all we need to do is cross multiplication as follows:
amount of oxygen = (4.5*10^2*32) / (908) = 15.859 grams

What is atomic mass, atomic number, isotopes and how are all these terms related to each other?

Airida [17]

Atomic mass deals with the number of protons and neutrons added together, atomic number deals with protons only, though isotopes can be explained like this, say you had a hydrogen atom it's one proton and one electron if you add a neutron to it, the hydrogen becomes Deuterium which is a isotope of hydrogen it's the same atom just a neutron added to it for a different atomic mass if only slightly changed

Help. The answer to question 1 I didn't mean to click so please answer that as well.

Zepler [3.9K]

We have that energy=specific heat * change in temperature * mass. Thus, we have the final temperature (22) minus the initial temperature (55) to equal -33 as our change in temperature. Our specific heat is in J/g*C, so we're good with that because g stands for grams and the aluminium is measured in grams. As there are 10 grams of aluminum, we have
$10*(-33)*0.902=-298 ish$ as our final temperature

An exothermic reaction would release energy and would therefore lose heat itself, while an endothermic reaction would absorb energy and gain heat. Therefore, losing heat would be an exothermic reaction

Which clouds are often associated with thunder and lightning?

FrozenT [24]

Cumulonimbus clouds, of course!. These clouds are known to carry rain, hail, and thunder. Bigger versions are known as supercells, deadly storms that can spew out tons of rain, hail, wind, and even tornadoes!
