Answer:
Chemical properties, such as combustibility, are generally observed as the identity of a substance changes and one or more new substances form.
Explanation:
Water has a lot of high specific heat capacity
The correct answer is option 3. Oxygen having a density of 1.43 grams per liter describes a physical property of the element oxygen. A physical property is a property that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter and density is one physical property.
Answer:
electron-electron repulsion
Explanation:
When electrons add into valence shell of neutral elements, the element assumes a negative oxidation state. With this, the number of electrons having (-) charges will be larger than the number of protons having positive (+) charges. As a result, the extra electrons repel one another (i.e., like charges repel) and a larger radius is the result.
In contrast, when cations are formed, electrons are removed from the valence level (oxidation) producing an element having a greater number of protons than electrons. The larger number of protons will function to attract the electron cloud with a greater force that results in a contraction of atomic radius and a smaller spherical volume than the neutral unionized element.
To visualize, see attached chart that shows atomic and ionic radii before and after ionization of the elements.
Answer:
Here's how I would do it.
Explanation:
A Lewis structure shows the valence electrons surrounding the atoms.
1. Identify the central atoms
The central atoms are the least electronegative atoms (C).
I chose as my central atoms a chain of four C atoms: C-C-C-C
I stuck the most electronegative atom (O) at the end of the chain:
C-C-C-C-O
2. Complete the structure
The hydrogen atoms must be terminal. Add enough to give every atom an octet.
You should get a structure like the one below
