Answer:

When scientist find new species that may have to change classification systems in order to accommodate them. DNA sequencing has also let us find out more about evolutionary relationships. The more recent the common ancestor, the more closely related the two species are.

Explanation:

The pure form of water has a boiling point of 100°C. Boiling point is a physical property of matter and it shows that at such temperature, a liquid substance will change state to vapor.

Pure water is made up of 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen. The only intermolecular forces between them is the hydrogen bonds that must be broken for the water to boiling off.

In hydrate, water is present in another form. The water is attached to another compound.

For a pure liquid, the they have reasonably constant boiling point and low boiling range.

Impurities such as the other part of the hydrate causes the elevation of the boiling point and the widening of the boiling range for impure substances.

We are no longer dealing with just hydrogen bonds, other molecular interactions are now involved and they need to be accounted for.

Which atom in the ground state has a partially filled second electron shell?

serious [3.7K]

Atoms have electrons filled in energy shells.
1. H - hydrogen atom has one electron in the First energy shell. Therefore hydrogen has a partially filled first energy shell

2.Li - Li electron configuration is 2,1
The outermost energy shell is the second energy shell in which there is only one electron
Therefore the second energy shell is partially filled. This is the correct answer

3. K - electron configuration is 2,8,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the fourth energy shell which is partially filled. The second energy shell is completely filled

4.Na - electron configuration is 2,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the third energy shell which is partially filled
Second energy shell is completely filled

From the given options Li is the only element with a partially filled second energy shell
Answer is Li

g Select the correct statements. I. Reduction is the loss of electrons, and oxidation is the gain of electrons II. Reduction is

Karolina [17]

Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the substance decreases.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

Oxidizing agents are the agents that helps in the oxidation of other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the substance increases.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reducing agents are the agents that helps in the reduction of the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Oxidation state is the number which is given to an atom when it looses or gains electron. It is written as a superscript. In a compound, the total charge is equal to the sum of the charges of all atoms in that compound. For Example: In $MnO_4^-$ , manganese has +7 oxidation number and oxygen has -2.

So, the charge on the compound = $[=7+(4\times (-2))]=-1$

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
