Answer is: the compound is B₂O₃.

ω(O) = 68.94% ÷ 100%.

ω(O) = 0.6894; percentage of oxygen in the compound.

ω(X) = 31.06% ÷ 100%.

ω(X) = 0.3106; percentage of unknown element in the compound.

If we take 69.7 grams of the compound:

M(compound) = 69.7 g/mol.

n(compound) = 69.7 g ÷ 69.7 g/mol.

n(compound) = 1 mol.

n(O) = (69.7 g · 0.6894) ÷ 16 g/mol.

n(O) = 3 mol.

M(compound) = n(O) · M(O) + n(X) · M(X).

n(X) = 1 mol ⇒ M(X) = 21.7 g/mol; there is no element with this molecular weight.

n(X) = 2 mol ⇒ M(X) = 10.85 g/mol; this element is boron (B).

The last column of the periodic table contains the noble gases, elements that do not easily form chemical bonds. Why don’t these
netineya [11]
We call these reactive elements, becausethese atoms really like to follow the buddysystem and form bonds with other atoms.Noble gases, however, don't have thisproblem. Their outer shells are filled to the max, so they don't need to bond or react with any other atoms.

Relate dark matter to the development of the universe after the Big Bang. In 3-5 sentences, speculate on how the development of
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Dark matter makes up 85% of the mass of the universe. Dark matter is not directly observable because it doesn't interact with any electromagnetic wave. In the development of the universe, without dark matter, the universe will not function, move or rotate as it does now (this speculation led to the quest to find the anomaly of mass and energy in the known universe, eventually leading to the idealization of dark matter) and will not have enough gravitational force to hold it together.  After the big bang,<em> the presence of dark matter and energy ensured that the newly formed universe didn't just float away, rather, it provided enough gravitational force to hold the universe while still allowing it to expand sufficiently</em>.

The development of the universe would have been different without the universe in the sense that the young universe won't have enough mass to hold it together, and the universe would have simply floated apart. The behavior of the universe would have been different from what we observe now, and some physical laws that applies now will not apply to the universe.
