Answer:

The correct answer is C. element

Explanation:

The sample cannot be an element because an element - or elemental substance - cannot be decomposed into simpler substances. Thus, it cannot be composed by differents types of atoms. For example, an element is carbon (C).

As the sample contains three types of atoms, it can be a compound, a molecule or a mixture, because they can be composed by different types of atoms - of different chemical elements. For example, the sample could contain the element carbon (C) combined with other elements, for example oxygen (O) or hydrogen (H), amoing others.

Jenna built the electrical circuit seen here. What would happen to the electrical energy if Jenna removed one of the clips on th

otez555 [7]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An electric circuit works well when all the connections are complete but if any of the connections in the circuit is loose or disconnected then it is possible that current will not flow from the circuit.

Therefore, when Jenna removed one of the clips on the battery then circuit becomes incomplete and as a result there will no flow of current.

Thus, we can conclude that the electrical energy would stop because the circuit is incomplete.

Which orbital is partially filled in the Zirconium (ZI) atom?

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

4d orbital.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since zirconium's atomic number is 40, we fill in the electron configuration up to 40 as shown below:

$1s^2,2s^2,2p^6, 3s^2,3p^6,4s^2,3d^{10},4p^6,5s^2,4d^2$

Thus, the orbital 4d is partially filled.

Best regards!

What is the mass percent of oxygen in sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)?

Alenkasestr [34]

The answer is 57.14%.

First we need to calculate molar mass of NaHCO3. Molar mass is mass of 1 mole of a substance. It is the sum of relative atomic masses, which are masses of atoms of the elements.

Relative atomic mass of Na is 22.99 g
Relative atomic mass of H is 1 g
Relative atomic mass of C is 12.01 g
Relative atomic mass of O is 16 g.

Molar mass of NaHCO3 is:
22.99 g + 1 g + 12.01 g + 3 · 16 g = 84 g

Now, mass of oxygen in NaHCO3 is:
3 · 16 g = 48 g

mass percent of oxygen in NaHCO3:
48 g ÷ 84 g · 100% = 57.14%

Therefore, the mass percent of oxygen in sodium bicarbonate is 57.14%.
