Which set of elements below is the most similar in chemical behavior?

Chemistry
1 answer:
stich3 [128]2 years ago
3 0

Answer: Be, Ca, Ra

Explanation:

Elements are distributed in groups and periods in a periodic table.

Elements that belong to same groups will show similar chemical properties because they have same number of valence electrons.

Berrylium (Be) , Calcium (Ca) and radon (Rn) are elements which  belong to Group 2. They have 4, 20 and 88 electrons respectively and contain 2 valence electrons each and thus can lose two electrons to complete their octet. Thus they will show similar chemical properties.

The chemical reactivity of elements is governed by the valence electrons present in the element.

Similar properties recur periodically when elements are arranged according to increasing atomic number is the statement of the _
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Modern periodic law

Explanation:

There are many ways of stating the modern periodic law. Generally, the modern periodic law states that the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic numbers. That means, similar properties recur periodically when elements are arranged according to increasing atomic number.

Two scientists were largely responsible for our present day understanding of the modern periodic law, they are, Mendeleev and Moseley. Their work laid the foundation for the periodic table in its current form.

Carbon-14 has a half-life of approximately 5700 years. How much of a 1000g sample will be left undecayed and still radioactive a
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

option C is correct (250 g)

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of carbon-14 = 5700 years

Total amount of sample = 1000 g

Sample left after 11,400 years = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of half lives passes during 11,400 years.

Number of half lives = time elapsed/ half life

Number of half lives = 11,400 years/5700 years

Number of half lives = 2

Now we will calculate the amount left.

At time zero = 1000 g

At first half life = 1000 g/2 = 500 g

At second half life = 500 g/2 = 250 g

Thus, option C is correct.

Water has a specific heat of 4.186 J/g*C. How much energy would be required to raise the temperature of 10 g of water by 10 C?
Sladkaya [172]

Energy(heat) required to raise the temperature of water : 418.6 J

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Heat can be calculated using the formula:  

Q = mc∆T  

Q = heat, J  

m = mass, g  

c = specific heat, joules / g ° C  

∆T = temperature difference, ° C / K  

Specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g*C.

∆T(raise the temperature) : 10° C  

mass = 10 g

Heat required :

\tt Q=m.c.\Delta T\\\\Q=10\times 4.186\times 10\\\\Q=418.6~J

What mass of glucose would you need (in g) to have 0.8 mol, given that the molar mass of glucose is 180 g mol-1?
Verizon [17]
<h3>Answer: 144 g</h3>

Explanation:

  Mass of glucose = moles × molar mass

∴ Mass of glucose = 0.8 mol × 180 g mol⁻¹

                               =  144 g

∴ the mass of glucose you need to have 0.8 mol of glucose = 144 g
