An atom of carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell, which means that
<span>its ionic charge is 4+ or 4-
</span>Si is in same group as carbon so its also 4+ or 4-
Germanium is 4+.
Sn is also 2+ or 4+
Pb is usually +2
Answer:
Metal is a conductor. it takes in heat very well. wood is an insulator. it takes in heat too, but less of it. this makes the wood handle cooler and the metal handle hot
Answer: 127.5ml
Explanation:
To calculate the volume of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:
where,
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is 
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is KOH.
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Thus 127.5 ml of 0.5M of HNO3 would be needed to react with 85ml of 0.75M of KOH
States of Matter
Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of microscopic particles, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases.
Note that:
Particles in a:
gas are well separated with no regular arrangement.
liquid are close together with no regular arrangement.
solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
Particles in a:
gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds.
liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other.
solid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place.
Liquids and solids are often referred to as condensed phases because the particles are very close together.
The following table summarizes properties of gases, liquids, and solids and identifies the microscopic behavior responsible for each property.
Some Characteristics of Gases, Liquids and Solids and the Microscopic Explanation for the Behavior
gas liquid solid
assumes the shape and volume of its container
particles can move past one another assumes the shape of the part of the container which it occupies
particles can move/slide past one another retains a fixed volume and shape
rigid - particles locked into place
compressible
lots of free space between particles not easily compressible
little free space between particles not easily compressible
little free space between particles
flows easily
particles can move past one another flows easily
particles can move/slide past one another
Answer:
Hydrogen bond is formed only by the three highly electronegative elements- fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen.
