Answer:
Metals lose electrons to become cations.
Explanation:
For example, sodium loses an electron to become a sodium cation.
Na· ⟶ Na⁺ + e⁻
A is <em>wrong</em>. Nonmetals gain electrons to become anions.
B is <em>wrong</em>. Metals lose electrons.
D is <em>wrong</em>. Nonmetals gain electrons to become anions.
Answer:
A three-carbon chain has a straight line extending from the center carbon.
Explanation:
Isomers are compounds having the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.
Butane and 2-methylpropane are constitutional isomers. Constitutional isomers differ in the way that the constituent atoms are connected to each other.
Butane is a straight chain compound while the compound 2-methylpropane consists of a three-carbon chain which has a straight line extending from the center carbon.
Answer:
A. your running speed 1.5 m/s
B. your mass 70 kg
C. your de Broglie wavelength
m
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, since the equation for the calculation of the Broglie wavelength is:

We can assume a running speed of about 1.5 m/s and a mass of 70 kg, so the resulting Broglie wavelength is:

Best regards!
A. plate tectonics slowly move in what is called Continental Drift, the Earth used to be one continent called Pangea and has shifted ever since.
Answer:
2.97 × 10¹³ g
Explanation:
First, we have to calculate the biomass the is burned. We can establish the following relations:
- 2.47 acre = 10,000 m²
- 10 kg of C occupy an area of 1 m²
- 50% of the biomass is burned
The biomass burned in the site of 400,000 acre is:

Let's consider the combustion of carbon.
C(s) + O₂(g) ⇒ CO₂(g)
We can establish the following relations:
- The molar mass of C is 12.01 g/mol
- 1 mole of C produces 1 mole of CO₂
- The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol
The mass of produced is CO₂:
