diamong [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Metal elements form positively charged ions called cations because they are located on the left side of the periodic table These elements all have valence electrons in an s orbital. These electrons are relatively easy for the atom to lose to achieve a stable octet of electrons in its outermost energy shell.

ss7ja [257]

Incomplete question. Full question reads;

Darwin developed the theory of evolution to explain why there are so many different kinds of living things. He could easily observe that offspring of any animals were slightly different from their parents and that this could allow for big changes over thousands of years. He did not know that genes caused the differences. Genes are now very important in the modern theory of evolution.

What most likely led to a change in the widely accepted theory of evolution?

Answer:

<u>new experiments involving genes and evolution </u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Indeed, the original theory of evolution has experienced several changes in its acceptance because of its imperfect and wrong assumptions not based on generally acceptable scientific facts,

Hence, new experiments involving genes and evolution has led to a change (disagreements and few agreements) in the widely accepted theory of evolution.

Why water is able to stick to the side of a glass
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Water uses adhesive forces that allow it to stick to certain surfaces such as glass.

Explanation:

When the angle between vertical direction and the glass wall is small, surface tension is stronger and the component of gravity perpendicular to the glass wall is small. The result of this causes water to stick to the side of a glass.

Hope this helps!

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Answers are given below

Explanation:

(a) Aldehyde groups are reduced by sodium borohydride in methanol to give alcohol.

So, butanal produces butanol on reaction with sodium borohydride in methanol.

(b) Aldehyde forms cyanohydrin when they are treated with HCN with catalytic cyanide.

(c) Aldehydes are oxidized by potassium dichromate in dil. sulphuric acid to produce carboxylic acid.

(d) Aldehyde produces acetal with methanol and a trace amount of acid catalyst.

(e) Aldehyde gives condensation reaction with CH_{3}CH_{2}NH_{2} to produce imine.

Structures of products for the given reaction has been shown below.
