8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

In order for an atom to have a neutral charge, it needs to have the same number of protons and electrons. You can see by the illustration that the atomic number is 31, so this element has 31 protons. Knowing that, we also know that it must have 31 electrons to be neutral.

Which of the following compounds most likely has the least bond energy?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

I2; I–I bond length = 266 pm

Explanation:

Bond length is inversely related to bond strength. The longer the bond length, the weaker the bond. The shorter the bond length the stronger the bond. A large bond distance implies that there is poor interaction between the atoms involved in the bond. A long bond distance or bond length may even indicate the absence of covalent interaction between the atoms involved.

Why is fossil fuel considered a nonrenewable energy source?

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

$\boxed {\tt Takes \ many \ years \ to \ replenish}$

Explanation:

A nonrenewable is a resource that cannot quickly be regenerated. A nonrenewable resource will eventually run out, and it cannot be remade for many years.

For example, fossil fuel is formed from fossils after millions of years of heat and pressure turn them into fuel. Since they take many years to create, they are a nonrenewable energy source.
