There are none

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

a molecule of calcium sulfide

two valence electron of Calcium(Ca)

six valence electrons of Sulfur(S)

Required

number of lone pairs of electrons

Solution

Lewis structure shows the form of bonds that occur in the valence electrons of an element or compound

Valence electrons are electrons used in a chemical bond

To achieve stability, the element S needs 2 more electrons which are obtained from 2 electrons from the Ca element,

A lone pair electron means refers to an unshared pair of electrons(not bonding to the other atoms)

This condition usually occurs in covalent bonds

As we know, the bond between Ca, which is a group 2 (metal) with Sulfur in group 16, is an ionic bond because it occurs between metal and non-metal ions, so there is no sharing of electrons, but there is a release of electrons from Ca ions to S ions to form an octet. , so all the valence electrons in S are paired

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Would you base your career options using science?

Would you base your moral behavior on science? Science is notorious for not being able to answer moral questions.

Would you base the "meaning of life" on science? The meaning of life is hardly a question that the periodic table could answer.

The only option left is plant growth which science could answer.

Ice floats on water. For most other substances, however, the solid sinks in the liquid. Classify each of these statements based
sattari [20]

Answer:

1.High pressure will cause the liquid to become solid :

<u>Describe both water and other substances</u>

2.High pressure will cause the solid to become liquid <u>:</u>

<u>It describe none : neither water nor other substances </u>

<u>This statement is :False for both water and other substances</u>

3.The solid is more dense than the liquid :

It describe other substance

<u>This statement is :False for water but true for other substances.</u>

4. In a phase diagram, the solid-liquid coexistence line has a negative slope.

It describes water:

<u>This statement is :True for water because solid ice is less dense than liquid water.</u>

<u>False for other substance, they have positive slope</u>

5.The molecules are closest in the liquid phase.

<u>This statement is :False for water and other substances </u>

6.The solid is less dense than the liquid:

It Describes water because ice is less dense than liquid water

7. In a phase diagram, the solid-liquid coexistence line has a positive slope.

It describe other substances

<u>This statement is :True for other substances  but false for water</u>

8. The molecules are closest in the solid phase :

<u>Describes both water and other substances </u>

Explanation:

<u>Answers to statement 1 , 2,5 and 8</u>

<u>Answers to statement 1 , 2</u>

On increasing pressure and decreasing temperature , There occur<u> Phase transition</u> always for every substance :

From liquid to solid and gas to liquid

Hence,

In Both for water and other substance

<u>High pressure will cause the liquid to become solid.</u>

<u>Answers to statement 5,8 :</u>

2.The Particles of solid are closely packed hence there is maximum force of attraction between the particle of solid as compared to liquid and gases .

Hence , The molecules <u>of both water and other substance</u>s are closest in the solid phase

This also means that in liquid molecules are far apart .

Rest statement : 3, 4 ,6 ,7 are explained below(see attached image)

<u>The molecules are closest in the liquid phase is false statement  and does not describe both water and other substance</u>

<u>Ice floats on water. For most other substances, however, the solid sinks in the liquid.</u>

This can be explained using the phase diagram of <u>water </u>:

The line DB is  = the solid-liquid coexistence line

It has negative slope because , solid ice is less dense than liquid water . That is why ice floats on water because its density is less than water

Hence <u>Water is described truly by statement 4,6, </u>which are :

4. the solid-liquid coexistence line has a negative slope.

6.The solid is less dense than the liquid.

Rest 3,7 = describe by other substance

<u>other substance</u> : Solid  is more dense than the liquid ,the solid-liquid coexistence line has a positive slope

SOMEONE PLS HELP
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

<h2>464.85 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we're finding the new volume

V_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}  \\

100.7 kPa = 100,700 Pa

95.1 kPa = 95,100 Pa

We have

V_2 =  \frac{100700 \times 439}{95100}  =  \frac{44207300}{95100}  \\  = 464.8506...

We have the final answer as

<h3>464.85 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
