Answer:
Charge the balloon, hold it near an electroscope, and determine if the electroscope leaves move.
Explanation:
The gold leaf electroscope is an instrument used to detect if a body is charged. It has two gold leafs suspended from a brass stem in a vacuumed glass jar and connected to a metal cap(Toppr).
When the test body is allowed to touch the metal cap, a change in the size of the leaves shows whether the body is charged or not.
Since we are suspecting the balloon to be made up of a metal; metals can be charged. We can test if there is really a charge on the balloon by bringing it near an electroscope to see if the electroscope moves.
Because the alkali metals are the group 1 metals, they have only 1 valence electron that they want to lose, and the halogens are the group 17 nonmetals, they want to gain 1 valence electron to become stable.
Hello!
The center of an atom is called the nucleus; it is comprised of protons and neutrons, collectively known as nucleons. The electrons float around the nucleus in a cloud.
Answer:
A) Protons and neutrons are in the center of the atom, and electrons move around in the cloud.
Answer:
A - NaCl is a product
D - Cl2 is a gas
Explanation:
Based on the chemical reaction;
2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl2
- Sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form sodium chloride. Sodium is in solid state, chlorine is in gaseous state and Sodium chloride is in solid state.
- In the chemical reaction, sodium and chlorine are reactants while sodium chloride is the product.
- Additionally the chemical reaction above is balanced so as to obey the law of conservation of mass.
The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second in vacuum.
It's somewhat slower in any material substance, and different in
each substance.
(That's 186,282.4 miles per second.)
