Explanation:
temperature changes affect seawater density as water cools its density increases. As water cools H2O molecules pack more closely together because the molecules are vibrating less at low temperatures and take up less volume. The same number of water molecules in smaller volume results higher density
Answer:
When the two atoms move towards each other a compound is formed by sharing electron pairs supplied by each of the atoms to enable them have the stable 8 (octet) valency electrons in their outermost shell
Explanation:
The electronic configuration of the given element can be written as follows;
1s²2s²2p⁴
The given electronic configuration is equivalent to that of oxygen, therefore, we have;
The number of electrons in the valence shell = 2 + 4 = 6 electrons
Therefore, each atom requires 2 electrons to complete its 8 (octet) electrons in the outermost shell
When the two atoms move towards each other, they react and combine to form a compound by sharing 4 electrons, 2 from each atom, such that each atom can have an extra 2 electrons in its outermost orbit in the newly formed compound and the stable octet configuration is attained by each of the atoms in the newly formed compound.
It is false. The salt bridge is not a path for electrons, but a path for ions to flow from one half-cell to another. It help to balance the charge between the oxidation and reduction vessels.
