In an endothermic reaction products are <u>HIGHER </u>than reactants in potential energy and <u>LESS </u>stable.
Explanation:
Energy is input into the reaction in an endothermic reaction. This means the products are of a higher energy level than the reactants. Therefore the reaction increases Gibb's free energy and reduces entropy. Remember in thermodynamic stability involves an increase in entropy and a decrease in Gibbs free energy. Therefore the products are less stable than the reactants. This is why endothermic reactions do not occur spontaneously like exothermic reactions.
Answer:
Explanation:
Mechanical digestion involves physically breaking down food substances into smaller particles to more efficiently undergo chemical digestion. The role of chemical digestion is to further degrade the molecular structure of the ingested compounds by digestive enzymes into a form that is absorbable into the bloodstream.
This element is found in group 3A, period 3
<h3>Further explanation
</h3>
The maximum number of electrons that can be filled in the nth electron shell is 2n²(n=shell)
-
K shell (n = 1) maximum 2 x 1² = 2 electrons
- L shell (n = 2) maximum 2 x 2² = 8 electrons
- M shell (n = 3) maximum 2 x 3² = 18 electrons
- N shell (n = 4) maximum 2 x 4² = 32 electrons
Electron configuration of element X : 2.8.3 , so :
K shell = 2 ⇒1s²
L shell = 8⇒2s²2p⁶
M shell = 3⇒ 3s²3p¹
Block p: group 13-18 (has a 2p-6p configuration), also called a representative element because it includes metals, non-metals and metalloids
The outer shell 3s²3p¹ : located in group 3A and period 3
group⇒valence electron ⇒3
period⇒the greatest value of the quantum number n⇒3
