One atom of silicon can properly be combined in a compound with

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

C. two atoms of oxygen.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Silicon has 14 electrons

Silicon is part of Group IV, all the elements there have 4 valence electrons.

It can form a compound when 4 valence electrons bind with the 4 valence elctrons of silicon

A. four atoms of calcium.

Calcium has 2 valence elctrons. 4 atoms of calcium cannot bind on 1 atom of silicon since there are only 4 valence electrons.

B. one atom of chlorine.

1 atom of chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can bind with an atom with 1 valence electron. Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, they will not bind.

Silicon can bind with 4 atoms of chlorine to form SiCl4

C. two atoms of oxygen.

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, this means oxygen can bind with an element with 2 valence electrons.

Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, it can bind with 2 atoms of oxygen to form SiO2 (silicon dioxide).

D. three atoms of hydrogen.

Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. 1 hydrogen atom can bind with an element that has 7 valence electrons.

Three atoms of hydrogen can bind with an element that has 5 valence electrons.

Silicon will not bind with 3 atoms of hydrogen ( but can bind with 4 atoms of hydrogen)

Answers:

Question 1:

The diagram for gallium will have flat, horizontal lines at 30 and 2204 °C.

Questoin 2:

The diagram for methane will have a diagonal line representing the liquid phase between -183°C and -162°C.

Question 3:

For gold, the boiling point corresponds to the y-value at 2856 °C of the top horizontal line

Question 4.

For nitrogen, the line at -210°C will be flat, which represents the change from a solid to a liquid

Explanations:

Question 1:

The diagram for gallium will have flat, horizontal lines at 30 and 2204 °C.

The table shows that the melting point of gallium is 30°C and its boiling point is 2204°C.

Melting point is the temperature at which the substace changes its state from solid to liquid. During that change, the temperature of the substance does not change, because the heat supplied is used to accomplish the phase change. So, the temperature is constant and that means that portion of the diagram is flat.

The same is valid during boiling: the temperature remains constant while the substance is passing from liquid to gas at the boiling point.

Questoin 2:

The diagram for methane will have a diagonal line representing the liquid phase between -183°C and -162°C.

Between the melting (-183°C) and boiling (-162°C) points of methane, its temperature will increase more or less linearly, which is represented with a diagonal (slant) line between those points. During this interval the heat is used to increase the temperature and no phase of change happens.

Question 3:

For gold, the boiling point corresponds to the y-value at 2856 °C of the top horizontal line

The table shows that the boiling point of gold is 2,856°C.

In a temperature-vs.-time diagram the temperature is represented on the vertical axis (y-value) and the time is represented on the horizontal axis.

Since, the temperature of the substance does not change during boiling, the line during the time that this change of phase is happening is flat. And since this temperatue is higher than the melting temperature, this is the top horizontal line in the diagram.

Question 4.

For nitrogen, the line at -210°C will be flat, which represents the change from a solid to a liquid

The table shows that the melting point of nitrogen is -210°C, that means that the temperature will remain constant at -210°C while the substance is absorbing heat to pass from solid to liquid.

In conclusion, you must remember that all the phase changes, melting (from solid to liquid), freezing (from liquid to solid), boilng (from liquid to gas), and condensing (from gas to liquid) happens at constant temperature, and so the temperature - vs. - time diagrams show flat lines (constant y-values) during those intervals of time.

An acetylide anion is more stable than either a vinylic or alkyl anion due to Group of answer choices the greater stability of a

sashaice [31]

Answer:

the stabilization of the negative charge in orbitals with higher s character

Explanation:

Acetylide anion is a carbon anion compound or popularly called carbanion. Now Acetylide anion is sp hybridized. However acetylide anion tends to be more acidic as we move from sp³ to sp, hence acidicity increases, which makes sp to have the highest acidity and become the most stable.

So, we can conclude that the acetylide anion is more acidic due to the stabilization of the negative charge in orbitals with higher s character and as the s character increases, acidic nature of acetylide anion also increases.
