Answer:
(a) (i) All the elements of a group have similar chemical properties because they have same no. of valence electrons in their outermost shell. (ii) All the elements of a period have different chemical properties because they have different no. of valence electrons in their atoms.
Answer:
2C₃H₇BO₃ + 8O₂ → 6CO₂ + 7H₂O + B₂O₃.
Explanation:
- For balancing a chemical equation, we should apply the law of conversation of mass. It states that the no. of atoms in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side.
So, the balanced equation:
<em>2C₃H₇BO₃ + 8O₂ → 6CO₂ + 7H₂O + B₂O₃.</em>
It is clear that 2.0 moles of C₃H₇BO₃ is completely burned in 8 m oles of oxygen and produce 6 moles of CO₂, 7 moles of H₂O and 1 mole of B₂O₃.
C. Represents an oxidation-reduction reaction
