Answer:

Endangered. The meaning of endangered is when a species declines in number- this might be because they are being eaten by another animal which has a higher popupayion, or perhaps because they are being hunted by humans for their meat or fur. Neither reason might be that their food or habitat has been destroyed b humans to create land for farming or housing. one example of name endangered species is Polar Bears: they like in the Antarctic where there is no land, simply ice. Due to humans causing climate change, the world is warming up and the ice is melting. This means polar bears are dying out because it would be too tiring to swim to find ice. For the same reason, other animals are dying in the Antarctic meaning that Poplar Bears have less to eat (being at the top of the food chain -no animal eats polar bears).

What are some examples of physical changes?

Ludmilka [50]

Some examples of physical changes are:

Breaking a glass

Chopping wood

Tearing paper

Mixing sand and water

Melting an ice cube

These all are physical changes because the composition of the matter does not change.

What is the affect of neutrons on atoms

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

It's better to explain it.

Explanation:

Neutrons do not affect the electron configuration, but the sum of atomic number and the number of neutrons, or neutron number, is the mass of the nucleus. You know that neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. Under normal conditions, protons and neutrons stick together in the nucleus. During radioactive decay, they may be knocked out of there. Neutron numbers are able to change the mass of atoms, because they weigh about as much as a proton and electron together. if your asking What is the role of a neutron in an atom? then, Neutrons are very important in providing stability for an atom. Some atoms don't "need" neutrons - The hydrogen atom does not have any neutrons. However, as the atomic number ( # of protons ) increases, the number of neutrons increases as well.

Protons don't like each other. Naturally, 'positive charges repel', so it wouldn't be possible to have more than one proton in the nucleus. Here's where the neutron comes in.

Hope this helps. :)

Give the formula for an ionic compound formed from each pair of ions

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Please, find the complete question in the picture attached.

Answer:

1. Na₂O

2. AlF₃

3. MgO

4. Ca₃P₂

Explanation:

1. Na⁺ and O²⁻

An ionic compound will be formed when two ions of opposite charge attract each other.

The positive ion is called cation and the negative ion is called anion.

Thus, every ionic compound has a cation and an anion electrostatically bonded.

The ions must combine in a proportion that genders a neutral compound: so you must have as many cations as negative charge has one anion and as many anions as positive charge has one cation.

This is, if the cation has charge +x, there will be x anions, and if the anion has charge -y, there will be y cations.

Simbolically:

$Cation:A^{+x}\\ \\ Anion:B^{-y}\\ \\ Compound:A_yB_x$

As you see, the subscripts for each element in the chemical formula are obtained by the exchage of the charges of the ions.

Then, for Na⁺ and O²⁻, the subscript for Na will be 2 and the subscript for O will be 1; and the formula of the ionic compound formed by this pair ot ions is:

Na₂O

2. Al³⁺ and F⁻

The subscript of Al will be 1 (because the F ion has charge 1-, and the subscript of F will be 3 (because the Al ion has charge +3).

Thus the ionic compound formed by this pair of ions is:

AlF₃

3. Mg²⁺ and S²⁻

The charge 2+ from Mg atom wil become the subscript 2 of S atom, and the charge 2- will become the subscript 2 of Mg atom:

That results in the formula: Mg₂S₂

Except for some special compounds, the chemical formula is simplified, dividing by the least common denominator. In this case, that means that the two 2 subscripts are simplified to 1, and the final chemical formula for the ionic compound formed by this pair of ions is:

4. Ca²⁺ and P³⁻

The charge 2+ from Ca will become subscript 2 for P and the charge 3- whill become subscript 3 for Ca.

Hence, the ionic compound formed by these two ions is:

Ca₃P₂
