How does the rock cycle and plate tectonics interfere with geochemists trying to determine the age of the Earth? Chose the best

answer.
The rock cycle and plate tectonics cause Earth to lose its outer layer every one billion years as it creates new crust.


The rock cycle and plate tectonics cause Earth's rocks to break down over time and they are recycled through natural processes.


The rock cycle and plate tectonics cause Earth's original rocks to be buried deep in the ocean where they cannot be discovered.

g The difference between an ionic bond and a covalent bond is that Select one: a. ionic bonds commonly occur between two metals
Bond [772]

Answer:

C) Covalent bonds come about because of a sharing of electrons; ionic bonds do not.

Explanation:

There are two main types of chemical bonds- covalent and ionic/electrovalent bonds.

Ionic bond: Ionic or electrovalent bonds are characterized by the transfer of electrons from electropositive atoms (metals) to electronegative atoms (non-metals). The metal atoms after donating their electrons become positively charged ions (cations) while the non-metal atoms after accepting electrons become negatively charged ions (anions). Strong electrostatic forces of attraction constitutes ionic bonds.

Covalent bond: Covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons by the atoms involved in the bond; usually between atoms of comparable electronegativities or atoms of the same element. The shared electrons are contributed by each of the atoms involved in the bonding or may be contributed by only one of the atoms. In covalent bonding, molecules rather than ions are formed.

Which elements can form acidic compounds? ​
pashok25 [27]

Sodium and magnesium oxides are alkaline. Aluminium oxides are amphoteric (reacting both as a base or acid). Silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine oxides are acidic. Some non-metal oxides, such as nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon monoxide (CO), do not display any acid/base characteristics.

When an aqueous solution of magnesium nitrate is mixed with an aqueous solution of potassium carbonate, ____________.?
spin [16.1K]
  <span>Ca(NO3)2 + Na2CO3 = CaCO3 + 2NaNO3 
Yes a precipitate of Calcium Carbonate is formed since it is insoluble in water. 
Mol Wt of Calcium Nitrate is 164. And that of Calcium Carbonate is 100. 
One mole of Calcium Nitrate produces one mole of Calcium Carbonate. 
i.e. 164 gms will produce 100gms of precipitate 
So, 1.74gms of Calcium Carbonate will be obtained from 2.85gms Calcium Nitrate present in the original solution.</span>

S-2-iodooctane lost his opticaly activity in soln on tratment wwithNaI. Explain
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Repeated SN2 reactions occur leading to the formation of a racemic mixture

Explanation:

S-2-iodooctane is a chiral alkyl halide with an asymmetric carbon atom. The presence of an asymmetric carbon atom implies that it can rotate plane polarized light and thus lead to optical isomerism. The two configurations of the compound are R/S according to the Cahn-Prelong-Ingold system.

However, when S-2-iodooctane is treated with sodium iodide in acetone, repeated SN2 reactions occur since the iodide ion is both a good nucleophile and a good leaving group. Hence a racemic modification is formed in the system with time hence we end up with (±)- Iodooctane.
