Answer: d. have the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron as their structural unit.

Explanation:

Silicates are anions that have both Oxygen and Silicon as the basis of their structure. These two form a tetrahedron type structure that enable them to be useful for a whole lot of things.

Silicates are very abundant on Earth as they comprise around 95% of the Earth's crust as well as the upper mantle which explains why they are mostly found in igneous rocks.

What led Marie Curie to draw the following conclusions? (b) A highly radioactive element, aside from uranium, occurs in pitchble
AVprozaik [17]

Making repeated separations of the various substances in the pitchblende, Marie and Pierre used the Curie electrometer to identify the most radioactive fractions. They thus discovered that two fractions, one containing mostly bismuth and the other containing mostly barium, were strongly radioactive.

<h3>What was surprising about pitchblende?</h3>

Since it was no longer appropriate to call them “uranic rays,” Marie proposed a new name: “radioactivity.”

Even more surprising, Marie next found that a uranium ore called pitchblende contained two powerfully radioactive new elements: polonium, which she named for her native Poland, and radium.

<h3>Why is radium more radioactive than uranium?</h3>

It is 2.7 million times more radioactive than the same molar amount of natural uranium (mostly uranium-238), due to its proportionally shorter half-life.

A chemist must prepare of 800.0 ml potassium hydroxide solution with a pH of 13.00 at 25°.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

4.48 grams is the mass of potassium hydroxide that the chemist must weigh out in the second step.

Explanation:

The pH of the solution = 13.00

pH + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 13.00 = 1.00

pOH=-\log[OH^-]

1.00=-\log[OH^-]

[OH^-]=10^{-1.00} M=0.100 M

KOH(aq)\rightarrow K^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)

[KOH]=[OH^-]=[K^+]=0.100 M

Molariy of the KOH = 0.100 M

Volume of the KOH solution = 800 mL= 0.800 L

1 mL = 0.001 L

Moles of KOH = n

Molarity=\frac{Moles}{Volume(L)}

0.100 M=\frac{n}{0.800 L}

n = 0.0800 mol

Mass of 0.0800 moles of KOH :

0.0800 mol × 56 g/mol = 4.48 g

4.48 grams is the mass of potassium hydroxide that the chemist must weigh out in the second step.

In which pair do both compounds exhibit predominantly ionic bonding? A) KCl and CO2 B) SO2 and BaF2 C) F2 and N2O D) N2O3 and Rb
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

E) NaF and SrO

Explanation:

The ionic bonding occurs between atoms with a great difference in electronegativity. This usually happens between a metal and a non-metal.

<em>In which pair do both compounds exhibit predominantly ionic bonding? </em>

A) KCl and CO₂. NO. C and O are non-metals and present covalent bonding.

B) SO₂ and BaF₂. NO. S and O are non-metals and present covalent bonding.

C) F₂ and N₂O. NO. Both compounds contain non-metals and present covalent bonding.

D) N₂O₃ and Rb₂O. NO. N and O are non-metals and present covalent bonding.

E) NaF and SrO. YES. Na and Sr are metals while F and O are non-metals.
