Answer:

Elements-

  1. Oxygen is essential for living organisms to survive.
  2. Carbon dioxide is essential for the survival, growth and reproduction of living things. Plants obtain carbon from the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide, which they need for photosynthesis. They convert inorganic carbon into organic carbon in the form of sugar and starch, which they add to their tissues.

Compounds-

  1. Water is essential for living organisms to stay hydrated.
  2. Carbohydrate and protein- These compound are used to form new cells and tissues and to repair.

Mixtures-

  1. Blood is very much important for the transportation of oxygen in living organisms.
  2. Blood plasma is an example of a homogeneous mixture. This is a colourless fluid that holds the blood cells in suspension. It makes up a little more than half of the volume of human blood.

What’s the pattern of a Gas and Plasma?!!
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Gas turns into plasma when heat or energy is added to it. The atoms that make up the gas start to lose their electrons and become positively charged ions. The lost electrons are then able to float freely. This process is called ionization..

Hope it help!

based on the general trends on intermolecular forces, rank c2h5oh, hcl, and c3h6 in order of increasing boiling point.
nikklg [1K]
The answer is HCl, C3H6 and C2H5OH. Hydrochloric acid has the lowest boiling point among the three choices since it only has weak dipole-dipole and Van der Waal's forces between molecules which are much weaker than the forces of attraction present in propane and ethanol. Ethanol has the highest since the hydrogen bonding present in ethanol make it hard to break the bonds.

After decaying for 48 hours, one-sixteenth (1/16) of the original mass of a radioisotope sample remains unchanged. What is the h
Hunter-Best [27]

The half-life of this radioisotope : 12 hr

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

t = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

t=48 hr

\tt \dfrac{Nt}{No}=\dfrac{1}{16}

The half-life :

\tt \dfrac{1}{16}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{(48/t\frac{1}{2} )}\\\\(\dfrac{1}{2})^4=(\dfrac{1}{2})^{48/t\frac{1}{2}}\\\\4=48/t\frac{1}{2}\\\\t\frac{1}{2}=12~hr

A metal atom loses electrons from its outermost energy level and acquires a...... Charge. These electrons join a nonmetal atom.
sp2606 [1]

Answer : A metal atom loses electrons from its outermost energy level and acquires a Positive Charge. These electrons join a nonmetal atom. The ionic compound formed because of this transfer of electrons is electrically Neutral.

Explanation :

All the elements try to acquire octet state by gaining or losing electrons. For metals, the number of valence electrons are less and it is easier to lose these electrons.

When electrons are lost, the number of protons become more than the electrons. This creates an excess of positive charge. As a result the species becomes positively charged and is known as cation.

During formation of ionic bond, metals always form a positive ion (cation) by losing electrons. These electrons are accepted by the nonmetals and they become negatively charged. A negatively charged ion is known as anion and nonmetals always form an anion.

These are attracted to each other due to the opposite charges present on them. In an ionic compound they balance the charges on each other making the compound neutral.

From the above discussion, we can fill in the blanks as follows.

A metal atom loses electrons from its outermost energy level and acquires a Positive Charge. These electrons join a nonmetal atom. The ionic compound formed because of this transfer of electrons is electrically Neutral.
