Answer:
Co (assuming there's a typo in not capitalizing the first letter)
Explanation:
The elements are depicted in the periodic table. Those are fundamental atoms that are not bonded to anything else but exist in their natural states without forming a bond with anything. That said, we're interested in a monoatomic species listed (the species which consist from only one single atom).
Out of all the choices, we have Co, cobalt, which is a single atom and can be found as an element with the atomic number 27.
Carbonic acid,
, consists of 3 different elements: hydrogen (atomic number of 1), carbon (atomic number of 6) and oxygen (atomic number of 8). It's a compound rather than an element, as it consists of several atoms bonded together.
Oxygen,
, is also a molecule. It consists of more than a single atom, even though the two atoms are identical. We have a compound, oxygen gas, which consists of two same oxygen (O) atoms (or elements).
Hydroxide anion,
, also consists of two elements: oxygen and hydrogen. It also contains a charge on it, so rather than being a molecule, this is now an ion. Since it consists of more than a single atom, this is not an element as well.
The chemical reaction of SiCl2→ Si +Cl2 is
A decomposition reaction
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
- <u>A decomposition reaction</u> is type of chemical reaction which involve breaking down a compound into smaller compounds or individual elements.
- <em>SiCl2→ Si +Cl2 is a decomposition reaction because SICl2 is broken down into Si and Cl2</em>
- Decomposition reaction often involve input of energy in form of heat to break down compounds
Answer
Part A:
Given equation:

The above equation is an example of a double replacement reaction. A double replacement (or double displacement) reaction is a reaction in which the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds exchange.
Note: The oxidation number of:
K = +1
I = -1
Ba = +2
S = -2
So, the complete chemical equation including phases of the given reaction is:

Part B:
Given equation:

Also, the equation is an example of a double replacement reaction.
Note: The oxidation number of:
K = +1
Cl = -1
Ca = +2
S = -2
The complete chemical equation including phases of the given reaction is:
C. A pure chemical substance consisting of one type of atom
