Water,being an amphoteric compound, can act both as an acid and as a base.

In the presence of an acid , water acts as a base but in the presence of a base, water acts as an acid.

Which is NOT part of the definition of matter

qaws [65]

Answer:

Everything that has mass and takes up space is matter. Every day, you find something usual that either does't have mass or else don't take up space. Those things are non-matter. Basically, any type of energy or any abstract concept is an example of something that does not have matter.

Calculate the density of a solid in g/cm3 if it weighs 38.3 kg and has a volume of 0.00463 m3.

RideAnS [48]

Answer: D=8.27 g/cm³

Explanation:

Density is mass/volume. Mass is in grams and volume is in liters. In this case, the problem wants our volume to be in cm³. All we need to do is to make some conversions to convert kg/m³ to g/cm³.

$D=\frac{38.3kg}{0.00463m^3} *\frac{(1m)^3}{(100cm)^3} *\frac{1000g}{1kg}$

With this equation, the m³ and kg cancel out, and we are left with g/cm³.

D=8.27 g/cm³

The metals will lose electrons while the non metals will gain electrons in order to attain octet structure.

An ion can be cation (positively charged) or anion (negatively charged).

Cations attain octet structure (8) by losing electron(s) while anions become stable or attains octet structure (8) by gaining electron(s).

The remaining elements are completed as follows to attain octet structure;

Element--valence electron--electrons to gain--electrons to lose--ion formed
