Answer:

Malachite

Explanation:

Malachite is the only listed compound that must contain copper and oxygen.

Copper and oxygen are both elements found on the periodic table. They have the following symbols;

Copper = Cu

Oxygen = O

From the given choices, only option 1 has the symbol Cu and O.

So only malachite contains both copper and oxygen.

- 5. Describe the general trend in atomic radil across a row of the periodic table.

sattari [20]

Answer:

Across a row, atomic radii decreases.

Explanation:

It decreases because nuclear charge increases across a row, electrons are added to the same shell and shielding remains constant. Therefore the outer electrons are more attracted to the nucleus making the atom smaller.

Gold is formed in pure state in nature but not iron,why?

ss7ja [257]

Gold is found in pure state in nature but not the iron because gold is un-reactive metal, so it does not react with other element in normal condition but iron is reactive metal so it reacts with atmospheric oxygen in presence of moist (water) to form oxide.

Which of the following has no electrons? Use a periodic table. Question 1 options: H He H– He 2+ Save

Elodia [21]

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle present in the space outside the nucleus of an atom. The loss of electron from an atom results in the formation of cation whereas gaining of electron by an atom results in the formation of anion. The cation possesses positive charge due to loss of electron and anion possesses negative charge due to gain of electron.

The neutral atom has no charge on it.

For given atomic symbols:

The atomic number of hydrogen is 1 and the given symbol has no charge that means it is in its neutral state. So, the number of electrons in $H$ is 1.

$He$

The atomic number of helium is 2 and the given symbol has no charge that means it is in its neutral state. So, the number of electrons in $He$ is 2.

$H^{-}$

The atomic number of hydrogen is 1 and the given symbol has a negative charge that represents a gain of electron. So, the number of electrons in $H^{-}$ is 2.

$He^{2+}$

The atomic number of helium is 2 and the given symbol has two positive charge that represents loss of two electrons. So, the number of electrons in $He^{2+}$ is 0.

Hence, $He^{2+}$ has no electrons.
