All you can conclude is that something must be burning with an orange flame.
Actually, the "something" that must be burning is the hydrogen that is produced when the sodium reacts with the water:
2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂ + heat
So much heat is produced that the hydrogen catches fire and some of the sodium evaporates into the flame.
The electrons in the sodium atoms get "excited" in the flame. When they drop back to a lower energy level, they emit energy in the form of an orange-yellow light.
Answer:
Conversion of energy
Explanation:
Shaking the sand is a form of kinetic energy. The friction of the sand particles rubbing against each other converts the kinetic energy to heat energy. Some of the kinetic energy also converts into the energy of sound waves, which you can hear while you shake the sand.
Answer: B. Elements are represented by chemical formulas.
Elements are pure substances, which means that they cannot be broken down into simpler substances. The element is the most basic substance that exists, breaking it down further means breaking it down into protons, neutrons, and electrons, which is no longer a substance.
Elements have chemical properties that allow them to form different types of bonds with other elements.
However, elements *alone* are not represented by their chemical formulas. Only chemical bonds or ions are represented by a chemical formula.
Answer:
ion exchange is the exchange of ions of the same charge between an insoluble solid and a solution in contact with it, used in water-softening and other purification and separation processes.

Physicist Ernest Rutherford<span> established the nuclear theory of the atom with his </span>gold-foil experiment<span>. When he shot a beam of alpha particles at a sheet of </span>gold foil<span>, a few of the particles were deflected. He concluded that a tiny, dense nucleus was causing the deflections.</span>
