Chemistry
1 answer:
Afina-wow [57]4 years ago
3 0

Answer is: b) decomposition.

Synthesis is reaction of two or more substances combining to make a more complex substance.

Decomposition is reaction where one substance is broken down into two or more simpler substances.

For example, balanced chemical reactio:

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g).

Chemical decomposition is the separation of a single chemical compound (in this example calcium carbonate) into its two or more simpler compounds (in this example calcium oxide and carbon dioxide).

Combustion is reaction with oxygen.

Single Displacement is reaction where  neutral element metal or nonmetal become an ion as it replaces another ion in a compound.  

Double displacement reactions (more reactive metals displace metals with lower reactivity).

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Rutherford's models

<h2>Explanations:</h2><h2>What is the electron cloud model?</h2>

There are known as the region where electrons are found especially in the nucleus.

According to the five basic atomic models which have contributed to the structure of the atom itself, the Rutherford's models of the atom include a structure that is mostly made of empty space compared to thomson that proposed the plum pudding model of the atom

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Demo Mole Quantities

58.5g NaCl(mol/58.5g)(6.02 x 1023/mol) = 6.02 x 1023 Na

+

Cl21 pre-1982 pennies (after 1982 pennies are mostly zinc with copper coating)

63.5g Cu( mol/ 63.5g)(6.02 x 1023/mol) = 6.02 x 1023 Cu

19.0g Al (mol/27.0g)(6.02 x 1023/mol) = 4.24 x 1023 Al

what has 4 valence electrons, shows properties of metals and non metals, and has 32 protons in the nucleus of each atom
12345 [234]
Here is your answer

\bold{Germanium}

REASON:

Elements which have 4 valence electrons are generally metalloids.

The metalloids show the properties of both metals and non-metals.

We know that,

no. of protons= Atomic number

So,

Atomic no.= 32

Hence,

The element is Germanium which is a metalloid with 4 valence electrons and has 32 protons in nucleus of each atom because it has atomic no. 32

Which of the following is not a mixture?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Sugar

Explanation:

Mixtures are substances that made of two or more elements or other substances that are joined together by physical methods and when mixed can be also be separated by physical method into the original individual elements.

Air is a mixture of gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and rare gases. When an amount of air is collected, its constituents can be collected separately.

Likewise 7 up and sea water

Sugar is a compound made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, when sugar is decomposed, it's original constituents are not recovered but sugar is decomposed into carbon dioxide and water
