Answer:
Potassium
Explanation:
In group one of the periodic table both the melting and the boiling points usually decrease down the group.
Now, down the group, it's lithium that comes first, then sodium, then potassium.
Thus, among the 3, potassium is furthermost down the group by virtue of the factor it has the highest atomic number.
Therefore, we can say that potassium has the lowest boiling point among the 3.
The third option is the answer
Weathering is the process that changes solid rock into sediments. Sediments were described in the Rocks chapter. With weathering, rock is disintegrated. It breaks into pieces.
Answer:
Option C. 1
Explanation:
Step 1:
Determination of the Neutron of both isotopes. This is illustrated below.
For isotope y xA:
Mass number = y
Atomic number = x
Neutron =..?
Atomic number = proton number = x
Mass number = Proton + Neutron
y = x + Neutron
Rearrange
Neutron = y – x
For isotope (y + 1) xA:
Mass number = y + 1
Atomic number = x
Neutron =.?
Atomic number = proton number = x
Mass number = Proton + Neutron
y + 1 = x + Neutron
Rearrange
Neutron = y + 1 – x
Step 2:
Determination of the difference between the neutron number of both isotopes. This is illustrated below:
For isotope y xA:
Neutron number = y – x
For isotope (y + 1) xA:
Neutron number = y + 1 – x
Difference in neutron number
=> (y + 1 – x) – (y – x)
=> y + 1 – x – y + x
Rearrange
=> y – y + 1 – x + x
=> 1
Therefore, the difference in the neutron number of both isotopes is 1
The answer is True because elements in a compound combine and become an entirely different substance with its own unique properties.
A redox reaction --> a reaction whereby oxidation & reduction occurs
Reduction:
Charge of Cl2 = 0
Charge of Cl- in NaCl = -1
Hence, since charge of Cl2 decreased from 0 in Cl2 to -1 in NaCl, reduction occured.
Oxidation:
Charge of Na = 0
Charge of Na+ in NaCl = +1
Hence, since charge of Na increased from 0 in Na to +1 in NaCl, oxidation occured.
Since both oxidation & reduction occured in the reaction, it is a redox reaction.
