You are a chemist working in your laboratory. In your storage closet you have a cabinet that holds only samples of pure elements

, no compounds. While looking for a sample of lithium (Li), you notice that the label on one bottle has worn off. The room is at normal temperature. The contents of the bottle are liquid and do not look metallic. What element should you relabel the bottle as?

Answer:

Mercury

Explanation:

While it is true that most metals are solid at room temperature, mercury is liquid at room temperature hence mercury is often designated as the 'liquid metal'.

Thus, if i find a bottle on the shelf that has no solid in it, only liquid and i know that only pure metals are stored in that area of the laboratory, then i will quickly relabel it as mercury.

How is earth's mantic field similar to that of a bar magnet
Alika [10]

Answer:The outer core of the Earth contains a lot of iron in a molten state. As the Earth spins this molten iron moves and creates the Earth's magnetic field. The Earth behaves as if there is a huge bar magnet at its centre. The shape of the field around the Earth is very similar to the field around a bar magnet

When PCl5 solidifies it forms PCl4+ cations and PCl6– anions. According to valence bond theory, what hybrid orbitals are used by
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

sp³

Explanation:

Number of hybrid orbitals = ( V + S - C + A ) / 2

Where

H is the number of hybrid orbitals

V is the valence electrons of the central atom = 5

S is the number of single valency atoms = 4

C is the number of cations = 1

A is the number of anions = 0

For PCl₄⁺

Applying the values, we get:

H = ( 5+4-1+0) / 2

= 4

<u>This corresponds to sp³ hybridization.</u>

Three elements are represented by the letters A, B, and C. the three elements have the same number of valence electrons. Element
AfilCa [17]
Answer:
A- beryllium
B- calcium
C- magnesium

Explanation
NOTE: all element in group 2 have 2 balance electrons

First let’s start with B- number of electrons= number of protons which is equal to the atomic number. therefore, the answer is calcium as it’s atomic number is 20

C- magnesium will have three energy levels considering it has 12 electrons (2,8,2).

A- beryllium is the lightest one in group 2 as it has the atomic mass of 9.0122.
