Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
1. Sugar
(a) Dissolving in water
The white solid dissolves in water to give a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.
(b) Addition of sodium hydroxide
Adding the colourless solution of sodium hydroxide to the colourless sugar solution gives a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.
2. Magnesium sulfate
(a) Dissolving in water
The colourless crystals dissolve in water to give a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.
(b) Addition of sodium hydroxide
Adding the colourless solution of sodium hydroxide to the colourless solution of magnesium sulfate gives a white precipitate (see image). This is evidence that a new substance is being produced.
D. Common characteristics
I think it is called a loess. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Answer:
Likely to gain electrons
Explanation:
The atom shown is likely to gain additional electrons to complete its electronic configuration.
- Since this is a neutral specie, the number of protons and electrons are the same.
- The atom has 16 electrons
- the number of valence electrons is 6
- If the atom gains two additional electrons, the octet configuration is attained
- Also, the atom can lose 6 electrons to become an octet
The atom will prefer to gain additional 2 electrons to give an octet configuration.
