Answer:

b. glass and charcoal

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Density of Pb: 11.4 g/mL
  • Density of Glass: 2.6 g/mL
  • Density of Au: 19.3 g/mL
  • Density of charcoal: 0.57 g/mL
  • Density of platinum: 21.4 g/mL

Step 2: Determine which material will float in molten lead

Density is an intrinsic property of matter. Less dense materials float in more dense materials. The materials whose density is lower than that of lead and will therefore float on it are glass and charcoal.

Fluorine (F) has seven electrons in its outermost shell. Fluorine _____.
Ira Lisetskai [31]
2. F is non-metal, because it has seven electrons (more that 3)
3.It <span>fills its shell by gaining one electron, because it is easier to gain 1 e⁻ than to loose 7 e⁻.
4. It </span><span>becomes a negatively charged ion, because atom of F is neutral, it has "0" charge, and it takes one negatively charged electron(-1). (0 +(-1)= -1)</span>

Select all that apply.

The definition of heat transfer through convection involves the movement of a fluid that causes heat to move away from a hear source. That being said, convection can take place in a lake, air inside, and air outside since both liquids and gasses are considered to be fluids. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

How do chemists explain on a molecular basis
Juli2301 [7.4K]
