What occurs along a convergent plate boundary

Chemistry
1 answer:
HACTEHA [7]3 years ago
8 0
At convergent plate boundaries, oceanic crust is often forced down into the mantle where it begins to melt. Magma rises into and through the other plate, solidifying into granite, the rock that makes up the continents. Thus, at convergent boundaries, continental crust is created and oceanic crust is destroyed.

State general trend for metal properties as you go left to right across a period
qwelly [4]

Periodic trends are specific patterns that are present in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects of a certain element, including its size and its electronic properties. Major periodic trends include: electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radius, melting point, and metallic character. Periodic trends, arising from the arrangement of the periodic table, provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly predict an element's properties. These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure of the elements within their respective group families or periods, and because of the periodic nature of the elements.

Electronegativity Trends

Electronegativity can be understood as a chemical property describing an atom's ability to attract and bind with electrons. Because electronegativity is a qualitative property, there is no standardized method for calculating electronegativity. However, the most common scale for quantifying electronegativity is the Pauling scale (Table A2), named after the chemist Linus Pauling. The numbers assigned by the Pauling scale are dimensionless due to the qualitative nature of electronegativity. Electronegativity values for each element can be found on certain periodic tables. An example is provided below.


From left to right across a period of elements, electronegativity increases. If the valence shell of an atom is less than half full, it requires less energy to lose an electron than to gain one. Conversely, if the valence shell is more than half full, it is easier to pull an electron into the valence shell than to donate one.

From top to bottom down a group, electronegativity decreases. This is because atomic number increases down a group, and thus there is an increased distance between the valence electrons and nucleus, or a greater atomic radius.

Important exceptions of the above rules include the noble gases, lanthanides, and actinides. The noble gases possess a complete valence shell and do not usually attract electrons. The lanthanides and actinides possess more complicated chemistry that does not generally follow any trends. Therefore, noble gases, lanthanides, and actinides do not have electronegativity values.

As for the transition metals, although they have electronegativity values, there is little variance among them across the period and up and down a group. This is because their metallic properties affect their ability to attract electrons as easily as the other elements.

According to these two general trends, the most electronegative element is fluorine, with 3.98 Pauling units.

Which of the following statements is true about catalysts? and Why?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Catalysts lower the activation energy of a chemical reaction. It <span>is a substance which speeds up a reaction, but is chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction. It provides another pathway for the reaction to occur.</span>

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! Explain how a pure metal is held together. Include a definition of a metallic bond in your explanation. Pl
vazorg [7]

Explanation:

A chemical bond which is formed in between positively charged atoms when there is sharing of free electrons in a lattice of cations is known as a metallic bond.

In a pure metal, atoms are surrounded by free moving valence electrons which move from one part of metal to another.

Thus, we can conclude that pure metals are held together by metallic bonds due to attraction between mobile valence electrons and positively charged metal ions.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Suspension

Explanation:

This mixture is a simple suspension.

A suspension is a mixture of small insoluble particles of a solid in a liquid or gas. Here, it is insoluble particles in liquid.

  • Suspensions are settle on standing this is why they have to be mixed again.
  • The particles do not pass through ordinary filter paper.
  • They are usually cloudy and have an opaque color.
  • The marinade is simply a suspension.
  • It is not a solution because they do not settle on standing.
  • Also, colloids do not settle on standing.
