Answer:
1. The electronic configuration of X is: 1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2
2. The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6
3. The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given as: XY
Explanation:
For X to loss two electrons, it means X is a group 2 element. X can be any element in group 2. The electronic configuration of X is:
1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2
To get the electronic configuration of the anion of element Y, let us find the configuration of element Y. This is done as follows:
Y receives two electrons from X to complete its octet. Therefore Y is a group 6 element. The electronic configuration of Y is given below
1s2 2s2 2p4
The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6
The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given below :
X^2+ + Y^2- —> XY
Their valency will cancel out thus forming XY
Answer:
A: element B
B: element A
C: element B
D: element A
Explanation:
decrease in size leads increase in electronegativity because the smaller the size, the closer the shell is to the nucleus. Also, atomic radius decreases to the right and up on the periodic table. Atomic radius increases to the left and down a period. I hope this helps!
Answer:
76.875 cm3
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
Since: Density = 
Then: Volume = 
The mass of the box = 246g
and the density = 3.2 g/cm3
Then: The volume = 
= 76.875 cm3
The nails can puncture the tires of the vehicles making them deflated after a while. The process of tire deflation due to a puncture is due to the process called an effusion. Thus, option c is correct.
<h3>What is effusion?</h3>
Effusion is the process that defines the escape of the fluids or gases from a system through an outlet with a small diameter compared to the mean free path of the molecules.
When a tire is punctured then the gas from the tire starts to move out through the hole through effusion. This leads to deflation of the tire after some time as all the gas present inside had moved out completely.
Therefore, option c. a punctured tire deflates due to effusion.
