Red arrows represent the movement of the mantle due to convection. Black arrows represent the movement of the plates due to gravity. Scientists think that this transfer of thermal energy from core to mantle causes convection in the mantle.
Answer: The chlorine radical is the most reactive of the among the given halogen molecules and it reacts easily with alkanes. In contrast, the iodine radical is the least reactive of the halogen radicals. In fact, it is so unreactive that it is unable to abstract a hydrogen atom from an alkane.
So, (D) option is correct
Explanation:
Answer:
Cd(HCO₃)₂ (s) ⇒ CdCO₃ (s) + H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g)
Explanation:
Cadmium hydrogen carbonate = Cd(HCO₃)₂ (solid)
Cadmium carbonate = CdCO₃ (solid)
Water = H₂O (liquid)
Carbon dioxide = CO₂ (gas)
Skeleton equation: Cd(HCO₃)₂ (s) ⇒ CdCO₃ (s) + H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g)
This is already balanced.
Answer:
A lithium atom has 3 protons and 3 electrons. It can lose one of its electrons, making it an ion. It now has more positive protons than electrons so it has an overall positive charge. Therefore it is a positive ion.
Explanation:
Lithium, an alkali metal with three electrons, is also an exception to the octet rule. Lithium tends to lose one electron to take on the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas, helium, leaving it with two valence electrons.
