Chemistry

Makovka662 [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation: Elements in group 14 have 4 valence electrons. Meaning that to achieve a stable octet they need to either gain or lose 4 electrons in total. That would take significantly more energy than other elements, e.g., group 1 (alkaline metals) or group 17 (halogens.)

Answer:

K⁺ (aq)  +  F⁻ (aq)  +  H⁺ (aq)  +  Cl⁻ (aq)  → KCl (aq) + H⁺ (aq)  +  F⁻ (aq)

Explanation:

KF (aq) +  HCl (aq) →  KCl (aq)  + HF (aq)

KF (aq) → K⁺ (aq) +  F⁻ (aq)

HCl (aq) →  H⁺ (aq)  +  Cl⁻ (aq)

KCl (aq) → K⁺ (aq) +  Cl⁻ (aq)

HF (aq) →  H⁺ (aq)  +  F⁻ (aq)

Which chemical element represents the most abundant “atoms of an element” found in air?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

The order of elements by volume-fraction (which is approximately molecular mole-fraction) in the atmosphere is nitrogen (78.1%), oxygen (20.9%), argon (0.96%), followed by (in uncertain order) carbon and hydrogen because water vapor and carbon dioxide, which represent most of these two elements in the air, are variable.

I copied and pasted but I hope this information is helpful :)

Maksim231197 [3]
<span>The smallest unit of an element that retains all the characteristics of that element is called an A. atom.
Atoms consist of protons, electrons, and neutrons, but they are particles and don't have the characteristics of the element which is why D is incorrect. B and C are not the smallest units - atoms are smaller than them.
