Answer:

Answer:

                   Potassium Nitride is composed of the greatest number of atoms.

Explanation:

                   

find the number of atoms present in each compound we will write down their molecular formulas and then we will add up the number of atoms present in them.

A: Dinitrogen Monoxide:

                                       Chemical formula of Dinitrogen Monoxide is N₂O. Therefore, it contains two atoms of Nitrogen and one atom of oxygen Hence, in total it contains 3 atoms.

B: Sodium Chloride:

                               Chemical formula of Sodium Chloride is NaCl. Therefore, it contains one atom of Sodium and one atom of Chlorine Hence, in total it contains 2 atoms.

C: Potassium Nitride:

                                       Chemical formula of Dinitrogen Monoxide is K₃N. Therefore, it contains three atoms of Potassium and one atom of Nitrogen Hence, in total it contains 4 atoms.

D: Carbon Dioxide:

                               Chemical formula of Carbon Dioxide is CO₂. Therefore, it contains one atom of Carbon and two atoms of Oxygen Hence, in total it contains 3 atoms.

Which trends appear as the elements in Period 3 are considered from left to right?
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Metallic character decreases, and electronegativity increases.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the organization of the periodic table, we can see that from left to right, the electronegativity increases as nonmetals are able to attract electrons more easily than metals.

Moreover, in contrast to the previous periodic trend, the metallic character decreases from left to right because the elements tend to decrease the capacity to lose electrons and consequently start attracting them.

Thus, the answer would be: "Metallic character decreases, and electronegativity increases".

Best regards!

Increased use of incineration is sometimes advocated as a safe way to dispose of chemical waste. But opponents of incineration p
pochemuha

Answer:

Option A is correct.

At the two incinerators at which leaks were reported, staff had had only cursory training on the proper procedures for incinerating chemical waste.

Explanation:

The main aim of the argument presented is to talk down the use of burning by incinerators method to dispose chemical waste. The argument presents great points in that there were 40 incidents at two existing commissioned incinerators in the last year where unexpected releases of dangerous chemical agents happened.

So, basically, the argument is all about how the high frequency of the unsuspected release of dangerous chemical agents should discourage this method of chemical waste disposal.

The argument then concluded that if more chemical waste are disposed using the burning by incinerator method, there will be more unsuspected release of dangerous chemicals.

We are then required to find the statement that most weakens the conclusion that there will be more toxic releases if more chemical waste are burned.

Analysing the Statements one by one

Statement A

This statement provides a possible reason for this high frequency of dangerous chemical releases. It states that the staff haven't been properly trained. So, this means that properly training the staff should most likely lead to lesser cases of toxic releases into the environment.

This is the statement that most weakens the conclusion.

Statement B

The conclusion wasn't about the incinerator method being the safest method. It was about whether increased incineration would lead to more toxic relaeses. So, this doesn't affect the conclusion.

Statement C

This statement says that incineration can be increased without building new incinerators by tapping into unused capacity at the old incinerators. Also doesn't affect rhe conclusion whether increased use of incineration will lead to more toxic leaks.

Statement D

This statement strengthens the argument; which is the opposite of what we're aiming to achieve.

Statement E

This statement hints that the toxic leaks do not have that much of a harmful effect because the toxic releases do not go beyond the property of the incinerator. This also doesnt tackle the conclusion about the frequency of leaks, it only addresses how not harmful the toxic leaks can be.

Hope this Helps!!!
