How do pumice and basalt form?

Chemistry

Answer:

"If magma with the same composition reaches the surface, it forms extrusive rocks such as rhyolite and pumice. Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock that forms the ocean floor. ... Also, water and wind break apart and carry away surface rocks. Then deeper rocks are uncovered at the surface."

Answer:

Basalt forms when lava cools quickly at the surface. This quick cooling rate results in very small mineral grains. Pumice is formed when volcanoes erupt explosively. It comes from the same kind of magma which would form granite or rhyolite, that is, a magma that contains lots of silica (quartz). Magma with lots of silica is usually thick and sticky

A body moving with a velocity of 20 m/s begins to accelerate at 3 m/s2. How far does the body move in 5 seconds?
Norma-Jean [14]
The distance covered will be:

d = v_0\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}a\cdot t^2 = 20\frac{m}{s}\cdot 5\ s + \frac{5}{2}\frac{m}{s^2}\cdot 5^2\ s^2 = \bf 162,5\ m

The correct answer is D).

Which of the following electron configurations are written incorrectly?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

The electronic configuration that are incorrectly written is 1s²2s³2p⁶, 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷, 3s¹ and 2s²2p⁴.

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of the elements corresponds to how all the electrons of an element are arranged in energy levels and sub-levels.

There are 7 energy levels —from 1 to 7— whose sublevels are described as s, p, d and f.

All electronic configurations begin with the term "1s" —corresponding to the sublevel s of level 1— so 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷, 3s¹ and 2s²2p⁴ are incorrectly written. In addition, 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷ is written incorrectly because is impossible to jump from the sublevel "s" to the sublevel "d" —which is found from level 3 and up— without passing through the sublevel "p".

In the case of 1s²2s³2p⁶, the wrong thing is that the sublevel "s" can only hold two electrons, not three.

The other options are correctly written.

Using the periodic table, how would you find elements with chemical properties similar to helium?
rosijanka [135]
<span>The state of the helium in its natural form is gaseous and is a chemical element of colorless aspect and belongs to the group of noble gases. The atomic number of helium is 2. The chemical symbol of helium is He. For the following we focus on those elements and relate it with similar chemical properties. Then we find that; Neon, Hydrogen, Boron and Carbon are related to helium, either by proximity in their atomic number or period or by their group.</span>
