Traditionally they include boron from group 3A, silicon and germanium in group 4A, aresnic and antimony in group 5A and tellurium from group 6A, although sometimes selenium, astatine, polonium and even bismuth have also been considered as metalloids. Typically metalloids are brittle and show a semi-metallic luster.

The six commonly recognised metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. Five elements are less frequently so classified: carbon, aluminium, selenium, polonium, and astatine.

What is a problem commonly associated with nuclear power facilities?

gregori [183]

(1) False, lots of energy is actually produced from nuclear fuel, if we didn't get much then we probably wouldn't use it
(2) False, its burning coal that contributes to acid rain, since it contains sulfur
(3) False again, we can control the reaction with aptly named control rods, which are typically made of boron, to absorb some of the neutrons flying around in the chain reaction
(4) True, radioactive waste is very difficult to dispose of, and is also very dangerous. Sources of radiation can remain so for millions of years

What is the VSEPR model of CB4I?

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Molecular geometry Vsepr

According to VSEPR, the valence electron pairs surrounding an atom mutually repel each other; they adopt an arrangement that minimizes this repulsion, thus determining the molecular geometry. This means that the bonding (and non-bonding) electrons will repel each other as far away as geometrically possible.

Column A 1. Reproduction: Reproduction 2. offspring: offspring 3. gamete: gamete 4. Budding: Budding 5. Binary fission: Binary f

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

1. Reproduction: One or two parents, organisms make new offspring

2. Offspring: A new living organism

3. Gamete: female and male create mini-me by cell division

4. Budding: Hydra

5. Binary fission: Bacteria

6. Zygote: The original cell after egg cell and sperm cell join

7. Fragmentation/Regeneration: Sea star / Planarian

8. Mitosis: Healling and growth occurs in budding

9. Meiosis: Egg or sperm cell/ specialized cells

Explanation:

1. Reproduction is the process by which organisms make new offspring either sexually (involving two parents) or asexually (involving one parent only).

2. An Offspring is a new living organism

3. A gamete is a mature sexual reproductive cell, as a sperm or egg, that unites with another cell to form a new organism. It formed from female and male parents by cell division known as meiosis

4. Budding is a form of asexual reproduction in which a new offspring grows out from a part of the parent. It occurs in Hydra.

5. Biinary fission is a form of asexual reproduction which involves a separation of the parent into two new offspring. It commonly occurs in Bacteria

6. Zygote is the original cell formed after egg cell and sperm cell fuse.

7. Fragmentation/Regeneration: this is a form of reproduction in which a parent splits into fragments which are then able to develop into new organisms. It occurs in Sea star and Planarians

8. Mitosis is a form of cell division which a cell divides into two identical daughter cells with the same genetic components as the parent cell. It functions in healing and growth as well as in budding

9. Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in the production of sex cells or gametes. The number of chromosomes in the parent cell is halved and four gamete cells are produced. Egg or sperm cell/ specialized cells are produced by meiosis.

A penny has a mass of 2.50g and the Moon has a mass of ×7.351022kg, How many moles of pennies have a mass equal to the mass of t

baherus [9]

Answer: 122 moles

Procedure:

1) Convert all the units to the same unit

2) mass of a penny = 2.50 g

3) mass of the Moon = 7.35 * 10^22 kg (I had to arrage your numbers because it was wrong).

=> 7.35 * 10^22 kg * 1000 g / kg = 7.35 * 10^ 25 g.

4) find how many times the mass of a penny is contained in the mass of the Moon.

You have to divide the mass of the Moon by the mass of a penny

7.35 * 10^ 25 g / 2.50 g = 2.94 * 10^25 pennies

That means that 2.94 * 10^ 25 pennies have the mass of the Moon, which you can check by mulitiplying the mass of one penny times the number ob pennies: 2.50 g * 2.94 * 10^25 = 7.35 * 10^25.

5) Convert the number of pennies into mole unit. That is using Avogadros's number: 6.022 * 10^ 23

7.35 * 10^ 25 penny * 1 mol / (6.022 * 10^ 23 penny) = 1.22* 10^ 2 mole = 122 mol.

Answer: 122 mol
