Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.
The second one, vocab and definition doesn't add up
Answer:
Organic compound, any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen.
The balloon has traveled 30 meters up from the bicyclist and since it's rising 5 meters per second, 2 seconds later it will travel 10 meters higher. 2 seconds later the bicyclist will travel 20 meters away. so 10+20+30= 60 meters away from each other.
Answer:
Entropy increases
Explanation:
Entropy (S) is a measure of the degree of disorder. For a given substance - say water - across phases the following is true ...
S(ice) < S(water) << S(steam)
For a chemical process, entropy changes can be related to increasing or decreasing molar volumes of gas from reactant side of equation to product side of equation. That is ...
if molar volumes of gas increase, then entropy increases, and
if molar volumes of gas decrease, then entropy decreases.
For the reaction 2KClO₃(s) => 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)
molar volumes of gas => 0Vm* 0Vm 3Vm
*molar volumes (Vm) apply only to gas phase substances. Solids and liquids do not have molar volume.
Since the reaction produces 3 molar volumes of O₂(g) product vs 0 molar volumes of reactant, then the reaction is showing an increase in molar volumes of gas phase substances and its entropy is therefore increasing.
