Most volcanoes and earthquakes occur along boundaries between tectonic plates because tectonic plates shift either spreading apart causing a earthquake or moving together which pushes the plate upwards causing a volcanoe

Red mercury (II) oxide decomposes to form mercury metal and oxygen gas according to the following equation: 2HgO (s) 2Hg (l) + O
diamong [38]

hey there!:

2HgO (s) =>  2Hg (l) + O2 (g)

2 moles of HgO decompose to form 2 moles of Hg and 1 mole of O2 according to the reaction mentioned in the question.

So 4.00 moles of HgO must give 4 moles of Hg and 2 moles of O2 theoretically.

603 g of Hg = 603 / 200.6 = 3 moles

Percent yield = ( actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100

= ( 3/4) * 100

= 75 %

Hope this helps!

The atomic mass of the elements M,X and Q are 6,11 and 17 respectively. Use the valency electrons to explain how the atoms M and
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

M is Li, X is boron, and Q is oxygen.  MX is LiB, lithium bromide.  QX is BO, boron oxide (not Body Odor).

Explanation:  The atomic masses don't match exactly with those listed in the periodic table.  Boron, Oxygen, and Lithium come the closest.

Lithium reacts with bromine since it happily donates it's single 2s electron to bromine's 4p orbital to fill bromine's 4s and 4p valence orbitals to go from 7 to 8 valence electrons, it's happy state.

Boron reacts with oxygen to form B2O3, which I'll happily write as O=BOB=O, since my name is Bob.  This is more complex, but both elements want to move electrons around in order to reach a more stable electron configuration.  Boron has 3 valence electrons and oxygen has 6.  So each oxygen needs 2 electrons to fill it's outer shell and boron is happy to lose it's 3 valence electrons to reach an outer shell equiovalent to helium.  So 2 borons contribute a total of 6 electrons, and the 3 oxygens have room for a total of 6 electrons to fill their outer shell.
