What is the formula of the hydride formed by germanium?

Nadusha1986 [10]

The atoms combine to form compounds to attain stability in nature. The combination of atoms takes place by sharing of electrons between the atoms or complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Generally, atoms combine to complete their octet, that is to possess eight electrons in their outer most shell (noble gas configurations) except hydrogen which can attain stability by two electrons in its outer most shell.

Since germanium has 4 electrons in its outer most shell so it needs 4 more electrons to complete its octet and attains the stability. Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outer most shell and it needs only 1 electron to attain stability so, each germanium will combine with 4 hydrogen atoms and thus forming $GeH_4$ molecule which is stable in nature.

Hence, $GeH_4$ is the formula of the hydride formed by germanium.

For a lake in Michigan, researchers have determined that largemouth bass feed on smaller fish, which in turn feed on zooplankton

allsm [11]

Answer:

the expected decline in largemouth bass is 3,000 kg.

Option d) 3,000 kg is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

In 2016, there was 600,000 kg of zooplankton in the lake.

In 2017, an accidental runoff of insecticide near the lake caused a 50 percent decline of the zooplankton population in the lake.

Now,

The remaining mass of zooplankton after the 50% decline will be;

⇒ 600,000 kg zooplankton × 50%

⇒ 600,000 × 50/100

⇒ 300,000 kg of zooplankton

Now, with 10 percent trophic efficiency; smaller fish directly feed on zooplankton; decline in smaller fish mass will be;

⇒ 300,000 kg × 10%

⇒ 300,000 × 10/100

⇒ 30000 kg

Finally, with 10 percent trophic efficiency, largemouth bash directly feed on smaller fish, so the expected decline in mass of largemouth bash will be;

⇒ 30000 kg × 10%

⇒ 30000 kg × 10/100

⇒ 3,000 kg

Therefore, the expected decline in largemouth bass is 3,000 kg.

Option d) 3,000 kg is the correct answer.

Ionic compounds involve a (share, tranfer) of electrons and typically involve atoms that have (Large, similar, very different) e

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

2 Transfer; very different

Explanation:

Ionic compound are compound that are formed from transfer of electron. The cations donate the electron(s) while the anion receive the electron(s). The compound possess a positively charged end and a negatively charge end. Example of ionic compound is NaCl . The sodium donates one electron to the chlorine to fulfill the octet rule. The sodium atom becomes positively charged as it donate electron to the chlorine atom. The chlorine atom becomes negatively charged as it receive electron from Sodium atom.

The atoms that are involve in forming ionic compound have very different electronegativity . Electronegativity is the measure of the ability of an atom to attract a bond pair of electron. For example the NaCl compound, the two atom has verse differences in the electronegativity. Cl atom is far more electronegative than Sodium atom.

Draw the isotopic notation for an element with 15 protons, 18 neutrons and 18 electrons

tatiyna

Answer:

can't be done

Explanation:

protons and electrons always are the same number,and the neutrons are found by subtracting the atomic mass and protons/electrons soooooooo it can't have 15 protons, 18 electrons, and 18 neutrons.......i hope this helped if not please tell me.
