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:

<em>The elements sodium, magnesium, and silicon </em>

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

<em>B) are in the same period of elements.</em> 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.

Describe differences between conduction and convection give examples
nevsk [136]

Explanation:

Both conduction and convection are both forms of heat transfer from one place to another.

  • In conduction, there must be contact between two bodies for the process to take place but in convection, the matter moves to transfer heat.
  • Conduction mostly occurs in solid substances whereas convection occurs mostly in fluids.
  • Heat transfer in conduction is quite slow compared to convection which is much faster.

Example of conduction is heating of iron pot when cooking

Example of convection is the refrigerating system.

A sample of gas contains 6.25 × 10-3 mol in a 500.0 mL flask at 265°C. What is the pressure of the gas in kilopascals? Which var
RideAnS [48]

55.9 kPa; Variables given = volume (V), moles (n), temperature (T)

We must calculate <em>p</em> from <em>V, n</em>, and <em>T</em>, so we use <em>the Ideal Gas Law</em>:

<em>pV = nRT</em>

Solve for <em>p</em>: <em>p = nRT/V</em>

R = 8.314 kPa.L.K^(-1).mol^(-1)

<em>T</em> = (265 + 273.15) K = 538.15 K

<em>V</em> = 500.0 mL = 0.5000 L

∴ <em>p</em> = [6.25 x 10^(-3) mol x 8.314 kPa·L·K^(-1)·mol^(-1) x 538.15 K]/(0.5000 L) = 55.9 kPa

Samples with masses of 5.5 g 2.27 g and 0.8995 g are mixed together. The sum of the masses of the three
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

m=8.7g

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is widely known that when measurements with different significant figures are put under mathematical operations, the final result must be displayed with the same amount of significant figures of the shortest measurement, thus, due to the fact that 5.5 g has two significant figures only the result is consequently shown with two significant figures as well as shown down below:

m=5.5g+2.27g+0.8995g\\\\m=8.6695g

By rounding the first six to seven due to the fact that the next six is greater than five, according to rounding rules, the result is:

m=8.7g

Best regards.
