Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.
Answer:2,3 -dimethyl-2-butenr
Explanation:
Answer:
15.Potassium oxide
16.Calcium chloride
17.Aluminium sulphide
18.CaS
Explanation:
15.K is the chemical symbol of Potassium and generally the name of the non-metal at the end of a formula has the suffix '-ide' and since O is oxygen, the name becomes Potassium oxide.
16. The same applies here. Ca is Calcium and Cl is Chlorine but since its the non-metal at the end, it ends in -ide. So Calcium chloride.
17.The same applies here too. Al is Aluminium and S is Sulphur so Aluminium sulphide.
18. Calcium's symbol is Ca and that of Sulphur is S and that gives the formula CaS.
Answer:
1) Salts X and Y
2) The solubility of the salts
3) a) The solvent
b) The solvent temperature
Explanation:
1) The independent variable is the variable that is suspected to be the cause of the subject of the investigation
The given investigation is meant to investigate the solubility of different salts
Therefore, the solubility is expected to be dependent on the type of salt, and the independent variable is the type of salt, X or Y
2) The dependent variable is the effect meant to be observed in the investigation, which is the solubility of the salt in water at room temperature
3) The control variables are the variables which are held constant during the investigation, including;
a) The solvent used if the investigation; water
b) The temperature of the solvent; Room temperature
