Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The electron configuration of an atom in an element determines the property of the atom. The core electrons are found inside the atom while the valence electrons are found on the outermost shell of the atom.
For cobalt, the outermost shell electron configuration is; [Ar] 3d7 4s2. The 3d7 and 4s2 are found in the valence shell of cobalt.
For arsenic, the electronic configuration is [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p³. The valence electrons are 4s2, 4p3. The 3d electrons are found inside the arsenic atom.
The correct answer is b. an element
The explanation:
when the ELEMENT is define as substance that cannot be decomposed (broken down) into simpler substances by ordinary chemical means. Examples: gold, iron, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen
Ex: diamond will be broken into carbon as well.
and SUBSTANCE: Material composed of only one kind of matter throughout (same atoms or same molecules).
Li + H2O →<span> LiOH + H2
The equation is currently unbalanced, so to balance it out, you have to have the same number of each molecule on each side. It'll look like this:
</span>2Li + 2H2O → <span>2LiOH + H2
</span>
Also, in case you want to identify the phases as well, it'll be like this:
2Li (s) + 2H2O (l) → 2LiOH (aq) + H2 (g)
"s" is solid.
"l" is liquid.
"aq" is aquas.
"g" is gas.
The significance of melting points are
- it gives us a idea about inter molecular force which binds the particles together.
- at melting point the solid and liquid states exist in equilibrium.
<h3>What is melting point?</h3>
The melting point is the temperature at which a given substance change its physical state from solid to liquid. At this point solids and liquids exist at equilibrium. Melting point of a substance depends on pressure. The melting point of ice increases when pressure decreases. Melting point of a substance decreases by the presence of impurities in it. so you increase or decrease the melting point on any substance by adding more impurities. Ionic bonds, shape and size of molecules are some other factors that affect the melting point.
