Your teacher asks you to design an experiment that shows how plants respond to changes in their environment. You have two identi

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

1. Make observations.

Determine whether the plant grown under the white light bulb or the plant grown under the red light bulb grew better.

Observations are anything we notice which lead to a question in our mind.

2. Ask a question.

Do plants grow as well under a different color of light?

As this is a question being asked, hence it will be the question for the scientific method of research.

3. Test the hypothesis.

Put one plant under a white light bulb, and place the other plant under a red light bulb. Measure the growth of the two plants.

To test the hypothesis, experiments are performed. This is the experiment.

4. Analyze the results, and make a conclusion.

Plants grow well under sunlight or a light bulb with a hot, white light.

After the experiments, the results are compiled and a conclusion is drawn.

5. Test or modify.

If you observe no change, repeat the experiment with different colors of light bulbs. If there is a change, repeat the experiment for one or two more trials to ensure that the color of the light bulb contributes to the change.

If our hypothesis does not come out to be true, then another hypothesis can be generated and tests be done for it.

Relate the properties of atoms, their position in the periodic table, and their number of valence electrons to their chemical re

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest unit of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. Atoms can exist as a monoatomic (such as in the case of Helium, Xenon and Neon) or as diatomic (such as in the case of oxygen and nitrogen). Atoms take part in a chemical reaction and there reactivity varies among themselves.

From the above, it can be deduced that atoms have protons, neutrons and electrons. The number of protons (which is positively charged) of an atom determines it's position on the periodic table because elements in the periodic table are arranged according to the number of protons (called atomic number). The electron(s) present in the outermost shell of each atom (called valence electrons) determines there chemical reactivity. What happens here is that, all atoms (except noble gases) want to achieve there duplet or octet configuration so as to become stable. This octet configuration means they want to have there outermost shell completely filled (with eight electrons or two electrons for duplet). They usually achieve this configuration by taking part in chemical reactions. Thus, when an atom has just one electron in it's outermost shell, it becomes easy to lose it to another atom by way of interacting with it in a chemical reaction. When it loses this single electron (valence electron) in it's outermost shell, it becomes stable with the inner completely filled shell (that would be the new outermost shell). Examples include Lithium, sodium and potassium. Sodium (with eleven electrons and three shells) would lose the single electron in it's outermost shell so as to have just two shells with the second shell completely filled with eight electrons. Thus, the more the valence electron to be lost to achieve the octet structure, the lesser the reactivity of the atom.

Also, an atom that has just one electron to complete it's own outermost shell and thus achieve it's octet structure is also highly reactive. This is also because it is easy for this atom to receive a single electron and become completely filled. Examples include chlorine, fluorine and iodine. Fluorine (with nine electrons and two shells) will easily accept one more electron so as to achieve it's octet structure with a completely filled outermost shell (of eight electrons). Thus, the lesser the electrons to be gained to achieve the octet configuration, the higher the chemical reactivity of such atoms. Noble gases have extremely low or no reactivity at all for this reason because it has a completely filled outermost shell (no losing or donating).

It should also be noted that metals (which are found on the left of the periodic table) exist as monoatomic while gases (which are found on the right), with the exception of noble gases, are mostly diatomic.
