Explanation:
The minimum amount of energy required by a substance to begin a reaction is known as the activation energy.
Therefore, we can conclude that when you strike a match, you provide activation energy that enables the flame to appear.
Whereas a catalyst helps in increasing the rate of reaction but it does not start the reaction. On the other hand, when reactants combine together then we get products.
Thus, we can conclude that options (a), (b), (c), and (e) are not correct.
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
Answer: C. The non metal
Explanation:-
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:
1. Positive ion or metal is written first.
2. The negative ion or non metal is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.
For example: 
, cesium is metal having an oxidation state of +1 called as 
cation and bromine 
is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral called as cesium bromide.
Answer:
The respective figure with label and targets is missing but yet the definitions and stability considerations can help you, so I explain them below.
Explanation:
Remember these definitions:
- Atomic number = number of protons
- Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons
Hence,
- When one proton is added, both atomic number and mass number increase by one.
- When one neutron is added, atomic number remains the same, but mass number increase.
The neutrons provide stability to the nucleus of the atom by compensating the electrostatic repulsion force that arise from the fact that positive charges are forced to be so close in the nucleus.
Since the more protons are added to the nucleus the stronger the repulsive force inside the nucleus are, as the atomic number increase the neutron number must increase too.
For the ligther elements (lower atomic and mass numbers) the ratio of neutrons to protons is very close to 1.
For heavier elements (greater atomic and mass numbers) the ratio of neutrons to protons increase: proportionally more neutrons are needed to provide stability to the nucleus.
Answer:
1.5 mol H2O
Explanation:
Limiting reactant was C2H6 - 0.5 moles
Fomula became .5C2H6 + 1.75O2 = 1CO2 + 1.5H2O
