ANSWER:
4 a) Specific elements have more than one oxidation state, demonstrating variable valency.
For example, the following transition metals demonstrate varied valence states: , , , etc.
Normal metals such as also show variable valencies. Certain non-metals are also found to show more than one valence state
4 b) Isotopes are members of a family of an element that all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
For example, Carbon-14 is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope of carbon, having six protons and eight neutrons in the nucleus. However, C-14 does not last forever and there will come a time when it loses its extra neutrons and becomes Carbon-12.
5 a) →
5 b) →
5 c) → (already balanced so don't need to change)
5 d) →
5 e) →
EXPLANATION (IF NEEDED):
1. Write out how many atoms of each element is on the left (reactant side) and right (product side) of the arrow.
2. Start multiplying each side accordingly to try to get atoms of the elements on both sides equal.
EXAMPLE OF BALANCING:
Answer:
The number of lines possible for SO2 is 3
Explanation:
The following Procedure should be followed when calculating the number of vibrational modes:-
- Identify if the given molecule is either linear or non-linear
- Calculate the number of atoms present in your molecule
- Place the value of n in the formula and solve.
SO2 is a non-linear molecule because it contains a lone pair which causes the molecule to bent in shape hence, The mathematical formula for calculating the number of non-linear molecule in a infrared region is (3n - 6) here n is the number of atoms in molecule.
hence for Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), n will be 3
<u> Therefore, The number of lines possible for SO2 is (3*3) - 6 = 3</u>
Answer:
Most stars are rather simple things. They come in a variety of sizes and temperatures, but the great majority can be characterized by just two parameters: their mass and their age. (Chemical composition also has some effect, but not enough to change the overall picture of what we will be discussing here. All stars are about three-quarters hydrogen and one-quarter helium when they are born.)
