Answer: The correct option is C ( is very hard and burns cleanly).
Explanation:
COAL is a form of rock that is made up of mostly carbon amongst other elements which includes sulphur, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. There are different types of coal which include:
--> anthracite ( 90% carbon)
--> bituminous coal ( 70-90% carbon)
--> lignite ( 60- 70% carbon) and
--> peat (60 % carbon).
Anthracite is the type of coal that contains the highest carbon content ( 90% carbon). This makes it very hard and is often a times referred to as HARD COAL. Anthracite is a higher quality coal for domestic and open fire heating. This is because it contains less impurities than other type of coal and thereby making it to BURN CLEANLY avoiding atmospheric pollution.
Answer:
Endangered. The meaning of endangered is when a species declines in number- this might be because they are being eaten by another animal which has a higher popupayion, or perhaps because they are being hunted by humans for their meat or fur. Neither reason might be that their food or habitat has been destroyed b humans to create land for farming or housing. one example of name endangered species is Polar Bears: they like in the Antarctic where there is no land, simply ice. Due to humans causing climate change, the world is warming up and the ice is melting. This means polar bears are dying out because it would be too tiring to swim to find ice. For the same reason, other animals are dying in the Antarctic meaning that Poplar Bears have less to eat (being at the top of the food chain -no animal eats polar bears).
Answer:
Option C = same period.
Explanation:
All these elements belongs to second period of periodic table. This period consist of eight elements lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon.
Electronic configuration of lithium:
Li₃ = [He] 2s¹
Electronic configuration of beryllium:
Be₄ = [He] 2s²
Electronic configuration of boron:
B₅ = [He] 2s² 2p¹
Electronic configuration of carbon:
C₆ = [He] 2s² 2p²
Electronic configuration of nitrogen:
N₇ = [He] 2s² 2p³
Electronic configuration of oxygen:
O₈ = [He] 2s² 2p⁴
Electronic configuration of fluorine:
F₉ = [He] 2s² 2p⁵
Electronic configuration of neon:
Ne₁₀ = [He] 2s² 2p⁶
All these elements present in same period having same electronic shell.
However their families, valance electrons and group are different. Boron have three valance electrons and belongs to group 3A. Carbon belongs to group 4A and have 4 valance electrons. Nitrogen belongs to group 5A and have five valance electrons. Oxygen belongs to group 6A and have six valance electrons. Fluorine belongs to group 7A and have seven valance electrons.
Answer: -40
Explanation: Percent error is calculated by subtracting the value you actually recieved from the literature value (175 in your case) SO your answer should be 135-175=-40.
