<span>There are factors that are important to be determined for the composition of ocean water. First factor is the temperatue, by this you will be able to know the rate of evaporation of the sea. Next is the salinity, through this you will be able to know salty the sea is which will help you identify the last factor- density. The density is the most common because when there is more salt in the sea, it is less dense.</span>
Answer:
Groups 14, 15, and 16 have 2,3, and 4 electrons in the p sublevel (p sublevel has 3 "spaces" AKA orbitals), because Hunds says one in each orbital before doubling up if you had 2 electrons, group 14, they would both be in the first orbital, with 3 electrons, group 15, two in the first orbital one in the 2nd none in the 3rd. With 4 electrons, group 16, then you would have 2 in the first 2 orbitals and NONE in the 3rd.
Explanation:
If you are in group 13 you only have 1 electron so it can only be in one orbital. with group 17, you have 5 electrons, so 2 in the first 2 in the second and 1 in the 3rd, correct for Hunds rule anyway. Noble gasses, group 18, have 6 elecctrons, so every orbital is full any way you look at it.
Answer:
A. Metalloid
E. Has similar properties as Ge
F. Belongs to Period 3
Explanation:
Silicon is the 14th element on the periodic table. Its unit is SI. Its properties straddles between those of metals and non-metals and it is described as a non-metal.
It's atomic weight or mass number is 28u. It has an atomic number of 14 i.e in its neutral state, the number of protons and electrons are equal to 14.
Silicon belongs to the 4th group and the 3rd period on the periodic table. Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties. The elements in Si group are: C, Ge, Sn and Pb. The properties of Si is similar to these elements because they all have a valency of 4. Across the period, the properties varies this is why Si would have a very different property from Al and P.
