Chemistry

True [87]2 years ago

Antarctica or the south pole , which is mostly ice, is much colder than the arctic or the north pole, which is a mixture of ice and water. This is because the liquid water in the Arctic Ocean would absorb and release more heat which would keep the temperature in the region to fluctuate frequently. Also, the specific heat of ice is less than the specific heat of water which means that the temperature of ice would easily change. Another reason would be that  the Antarctica have stronger winds so it would absorb heat faster making the average temperature much colder that the Arctic ocean.

Which type of bonding is characterized by overlapping orbitals that allow outer electrons of atoms to move about freely througho
Sonja [21]

Answer:

D metallic

Explanation:

The chemical bonding which rises from electrostatic attractive force between the conduction electrons and the positively charged metal ions is called metallic bonding.

<u>It is sharing of the free electrons among the structure of the positively charged ions which are known as cations. </u>

<u>In this type of bonding, these free electrons freely move in the crystal mattice of the metal.  </u>

The bonding accounts for properties of metals, such as ductility, strength,  electrical and thermal conductivity and resistivity and luster.

Calcium chloride reacts with sodium hydroxide to form solid calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2. The balanced net ionic equation is
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)

Explanation:

In chemistry, the net ionic equation is a way to write a chemical reaction whereas you write only the ions that are involved in the reaction.

When calcium chloride, CaCl₂ reacts with sodium hydroxide, NaOH to produce Ca(OH)₂ the only ions involved in the reaction are Ca²⁺ and OH⁻, thus, the balanced net ionic equation is:

<em>Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)</em>

<em>Cl⁻ and Na⁺ are not involved in the reaction and you don't have to write them.</em>

Which set of numbers gives the correct possible values of I for n = 22
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Hello friends

Explanation:

<h3>For a given principal quantum number for or n, the corresponding angular quantum number or is equivalent to a range between 0 and( n-1)</h3>

<h3>This means that the angular quantum number for a principal quantum number of 2 is equivalent to.</h3>

<h3>1 = 0 - > (n - 1) = 0 - > (2 - 1) = 0 - > 1</h3>

<h3>Hope it's helpfully. </h3>
