Answer:

B. LZAQD

A. Younger than A but older than Q

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we simply apply the stratigraphic laws which are the law of superposition and principle of cross cutting.

According to the law of superposition, in an undeformed sequence of strata, the oldest layer is always at the bottom and the youngest on top.
In this case, we have a little disturbance but it did not affect much of the original bedding.
So, the rock ages from L to Z to A to Q and D. L is the oldest and D is the youngest.

According to the principle of cross-cutting "features that cuts through a rock are younger than the layers they cut through". In this problem, the fault cuts through layers LZ and A which suggests that these layers are older than the faulting event. Layer Q is unaffected by the faulting so, the fault is older than the layer.

5. Which statement is true about electronegativity?

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period,

Explanation:

The true statement from the given choices is that electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period.

Electronegativity is the measure of the relative tendency with which an atom of the element attract valence electrons in a chemical bond.

Across a period electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases down the group.

This is due to reduction in metallic properties as we move across the period from left to right.

What are molecules, and how are the properties of molecules different from the atoms they come from? Give an example.

goldenfox [79]

Molecule, a group of two or more atoms that form the smallest identifiable unit into which a pure substance can be divided and still retain the composition and chemical properties of that substance.

While Atoms are single neutral particles,

Molecules are neutral particles made of two or more atoms bonded together.

Exaplmes for molecules

H2O (water)

N2 (nitrogen)

O3 (ozone)

CaO (calcium oxide)

C6H12O6 (glucose, a type of sugar)

NaCl (table salt

And examples for atoms

Neon (Ne)

Hydrogen (H)

Argon (Ar)

Iron (Fe)

Calcium (Ca)

Deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen that has one proton and one neutron.

Plutonium (Pu)

F-, a fluorine anion.

We can consider a chemical to be safe if:

slamgirl [31]

We can consider a chemical to be safe if it does not contain any harmful substances such as nitrogen, harmful acids, or even excessive heat. Other chemicals such as the chemicals used in food products like, for example, citric acid, is not so harmful.
Hope this helps! :D
Any questions? Just let me know! I'd be happy to help any way possible.

What is the identity of the element, and how many neutrons does it have? An elements most stable ion forms an ionic compound wit

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. CA, 14

Explanation:

Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.

For the compound $XCl_{2}$ , it can be broken down into $X^{2+}$ and $2Cl^{-}$ . Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.

Therefore:

For the given element, the number of electrons is 18+2 = 20 electrons.

The number of protons = 34 - 20 = 14.

And the number of neutrons is 14.

Only option B has the correct answer.
