Answer:

O, S, Se, Te, Po

Explanation:

Oxygen, sulphur, selenium, tellurium and polonium are all members of group sixteen. The elements in group sixteen all possess six electrons in their outermost shell. Recall that an atom is said to stable if it contains eight electrons in its outermost shell. This is also referred to as the octet rule. Hence atoms of elements obey the octet rule when they combine to form compounds with eight electrons present on the outermost shell of each atom.

Having six electrons on their outermost shell implies that they need to gain two electrons by bonding to other atoms of other elements. Two examples will suffice here.

Water is formed when an oxygen atom shares an electron with each hydrogen atoms.

Hydrogen sulphide is formed when sulphur share two electrons with two hydrogen atoms. Hence the answer.

Answer:

O, S, Se, Te, Po

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, when chemical bonds are formed, the valence electrons are the bridge to make it possible, nevertheless, the octet is the limit for the formation of bonds, that is, an element must not exceed 8 shared or gained electrons. In such a way, elements able to gain to electrons to attain the octet are those from the VIA group: O, S, Se, Te, Po, as they have six valence electrons, so two more electrons are suitable for attaining the octet.

Best regards.

A distillation column with a partial reboiler and a total condenser is being used to separate a mixture of benzene, toluene, and

Answer:

11.8.4 Distillation Columns

Distillation columns present a hazard in that they contain large inventories of flammable boiling liquid, usually under pressure. There are a number of situations which may lead to loss of containment of this liquid.

The conditions of operation of the equipment associated with the distillation column, particularly the reboiler and bottoms pump, are severe, so that failure is more probable.

The reduction of hazard in distillation columns by the limitation of inventory has been discussed above. A distillation column has a large input of heat at the reboiler and a large output at the condenser. If cooling at the condenser is lost, the column may suffer overpressure. It is necessary to protect against this by higher pressure design, relief valves, or HIPS. On the other hand, loss of steam at the reboiler can cause underpressure in the column. On columns operating at or near atmospheric pressure, full vacuum design, vacuum breakers, or inert gas injection is needed for protection. Deposition of flammable materials on packing surfaces has led to many fires on opening of distillation column for maintenance.

Another hazard is overpressure due to heat radiation from fire. Again pressure relief devices are required to provide protection.

The protection of distillation columns is one of the topics treated in detail in codes for pressure relief such as APIRP 521. Likewise, it is one of the principal applications of trip systems.

Another quite different hazard in a distillation column is the ingress of water. The rapid expansion of the water as it flashes to steam can create very damaging overpressures.

Can someone Summarize how the suns gravity affects the planets please.

egoroff_w [7]

The sun's gravity pulls the planet toward the sun, which changes the straight line of direction into a curve. This keeps the planet moving in an orbit around the sun. Because of the sun's gravitational pull, all the planets in our solar system orbit around it.

you are holding a bowling ball with a mass of 6 kg at a height of 1 meter. How much gravitational potential energy does the bowl

Bumek [7]

The formula for GPE is PE=mgh, where “m” is the mass of the object, “g” is the acceleration due to gravity (~9.8 m/s^2 on Earth’s surface), and “h” is the height of the object from the ground. Therefore,

PE=mgh

PE=(6 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(1 m)

PE=58.8 kg•m^2/s^2 or 58.8 Newtons

The GPE of the bowling ball under these conditions would be about 59 Newtons.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Measurement of the amount of variation of the species in a given area.

Explanation:

Bio preffix means life. Thus, literally, biodiversity means how diverse is the life. This is, how many different organisms an ecosystem or biome has.

Thus, biodiverstiy, although more complex than just that, is a measure of the number of species that live in a region.

The biome with most species than any other, this is the biome with the greatest biodiversity, is the tropical rainforest biome, which are located near the equator. As you can imagine, a large number of different plants, animals, and microorganisms live in these forests, making them the regions with greatest biodiversity on the planet.
