The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Which is true of Elements on a periodic table in the same group (family)?

A; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of electron shells.

B; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.

C; Elements in the same family have few similar properties as they have different numbers of electron shells.

D; Elements in the same family are always the same type of Elements and have the same number of protons.

Answer: B; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.

Explanation:

Elements are distributed in groups and periods in a periodic table.

Elements that belong to same groups will show similar chemical properties because they have same number of valence electrons. The chemical reactivity of elements is governed by the valence electrons present in the element.

Example: Flourine, chlorine and bromine are elements which belong to Group 17. They have 9, 17 and 35 electrons respectively and contain 7 valence electrons each and need one electron to complete their octet.

Scientists are studying animals in a large lake area. In this lake area, both owls and raccoons eat ducks, and ducks eat frogs.

Answer:

Population of duck and frog will change with the change

Explanation:

The complete question is

Scientists are studying animals in a large lake area. In this lake area, both owls and raccoons eat ducks, and ducks eat frogs. The data shows that recently the size of the raccoon population decreased. How will the decrease in the raccoon population affect the other populations? Be sure to explain whether the owl population, the duck population, and the frog population will change, and why.

Owl population will change
Duck population will change
Frog population will change

Solution

Raccoon eat duck and duck eat frog. Now if the population of Raccoon decreases then the number of predators of duck will decrease thereby increasing the population of duck.

The higher will be the number of ducks, the more frogs they will consume thereby decreasing the population of frogs

Hence both the population of duck and frog will change with the change

The radius of a lithium atom is 130 picometers, and the radius of a fluorine atom is 60 picometers. The radius of a lithium ion,

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

A positive ions is always smaller than the corresponding atom.

A negative ion is always larger than the corresponding atom.

Explanation:

The reason for this is that, when a positive ion is formed, a full shell is usually removed with its electrons thereby reducing the size of the electron cloud and decreasing the size of the electron cloud.

A negative ion is formed by addition of more electrons to the electron cloud hence it spreads out. Interelectronic repulsion accounts for the larger size of the negative ion.

A student needs exactly 1 gram of baking powder to conduct an experiment. The balance reads 0.37 grams. How

sammy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the student needs one gram but so far only has 0.37 grams, then the amount they need is the difference between what they need and how much they already have. 1-0.37=0.63 grams.

...which isn't actually an option because none of them have decimal points but I would say it is B anyway because it is the equivalent ratio and maybe there was a typo.

Hope this helped!

Anni [7]

Answer:

Ka = 4.76108

Explanation:

CO(g) + 2H2(g) ↔ CH3OH(g)

∴ Keq = [CH3OH(g)] / [H2(g)]²[CO(g)]

[ ]initial change [ ]eq

CO(g) 0.27 M 0.27 - x 0.27 - x

H2(g) 0.49 M 0.49 - x 0.49 - x

CH3OH(g) 0 0 + x x = 0.11 M

replacing in Ka:

⇒ Ka = ( x ) / (0.49 - x)²(0.27 - x)

⇒ Ka = (0.11) / (0.49 - 0.11)² (0.27 - 0.11)

⇒ Ka = (0.11) / (0.38)²(0.16)

⇒ Ka = 4.76108
