<h3>
Answer</h3>
HF
<h3>Explanation</h3>
A buffer solution contains <em>a weak acid</em> and<em> its conjugate base</em>. The two species shall have a similar concentration in the solution. It's also possible for <em>a weak base</em> and <em>its conjugate acid</em> to form a buffer solution.
The KF solution already contains large number of
ions. The objective is to thus find its conjugate acid or base.
contains no proton
and is unlikely to be a conjugate acid. Assuming that
is a conjugate base. Adding one proton to
would produce its conjugate acid.

Therefore
is the conjugate acid of
.
happens to be a weak acid. As a result, combining
with
would produce a solution with large number of both the weak acid and its conjugate base, which is a buffer solution by definition.
Explanation:
Intermolecular force s between particles in a matter holds particles of molecules together in substances.
- The stronger the intermolecular forces the more solid a substance is.
- The weakest intermolecular attraction are found in gases as they have negligible attractive forces in between their particles.
- Solids are held together by very strong attractive forces.
- Liquids have weak forces holding them in place and this allows for a little movement.
- Gases are typically have very weak to negligible attractive forces.

See explanation
Explanation:
What I have written in the image attached is called a nuclear equation. It differs from a chemical reaction equation in the sense that it involves transformations that occur in the nucleus of atoms.
The nuclear equation must be balanced. This means that the mass and charge on both sides of the reaction equation must be the same.
On the left hand side the U-235 interacts with a neutron. The total mass on the left hand side is 236 while the total charge is 92. If we sum up the masses and charges of Ba and Kr, we also get a total of 236 mass units and a charge of 92.
Hence the other nucleus is barium-141
Answer:
8
Explanation:
The atomic mass of an atom refers to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Hence, an element with 6 valence electron mean that it has 6 electrons in its outermost shell.
The atomic Number of elements with 6 valence electrons cannot necessarily be the same, however, elements with 6 valence electrons belong to group six on the periodic table.
From the options given above, :
Atomic number of 8 :
Configuration : 2, 6
Atomic number of 10 :
Configuration : 2, 8
Atomic number of 12 :
Configuration : 2, 8, 2
Hence, only the element with atomic number of 8 has 6 valence electrons in its outer most shell, hence, the answer.
Combustion is the term used when something ignites
Neutralization is the term used when opposite pH acids and alkalis mix
Polymerization is the term used when monomers are chemically reacted to make polymers
Transmutation is the term used when an atom changes from one element to another
