Answer:

Cleavage

Explanation:

Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along flat planar surfaces. They and are caused by the alignment of weaker bonds between atoms in the crystal structure. Cleavage planes are distinguished from fracture by being smooth, often with reflective surfaces.

What are alkenes used to make?

evablogger [386]

Answer:

By far the most important use of alkenes is in the making of plastics as plastics are used in almost everything.

Explanation:

Alkenes themselves aren't used much in everyday life however Alkenes are very important to industrial synthesis as it is relatively easy to turn them into other things.

Alkenes can be turned into polymers or plastics through addition reactions and the most common ethene is turned into everything from plastic bags to bottles.

Alkenes can also be turned into alcohols. most commonly propene is used as a feedstock to produce butanol and other products useful in industry or for production

Assuming an electron is a hydrogen atom can undergo any of the transitions below, thus changing its energy. Which transition is

inn [45]

Answer:

n = 3 to n = 5

Explanation:

According to the Bohr's model of the atom, electrons in an atom absorb energy to move from a lower to higher energy level.

We must note that as we progress away from the nucleus, the energy levels of electrons become closer together. The energy difference between successive levels decreases and the wavelength of light associated with such transitions become longer.

Hence,the absorption of light of the longest wavelength corresponds to n = 3 to n = 5

Is gin a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture?

Gelneren [198K]

Gin is uniform throughout and is a homogenous mixture. If it wasn't you would have awful lumps in your drink :). Hope I helped!

Partner Namets) For each of the following reactions carried out: Write the balanced chemical equation, the full ionic equation,

torisob [31]

Answer : The full balanced ionic equation will be,

$2KI(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+PbI_2(s)$

Reactants are lead nitrate and potassium iodide.

Products are lead iodide and potassium nitrate.

The spectator ions are, $K^+,NO_3^-$

Explanation :

Complete ionic equation : In complete ionic equation, all the substance that are strong electrolyte and present in an aqueous are represented in the form of ions.

Net ionic equation : In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.

Spectator ions : The ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions. The same ions present on both the sides.

When potassium iodide react with lead nitrate then it gives potassium nitrate and lead iodide as a product.

The full balanced ionic equation will be,

$2KI(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2KNO_3(aq)+PbI_2(s)$

The ionic equation in separated aqueous solution will be,

$2K^+(aq)+2I^{-}(aq)+Pb^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)\rightarrow PbI_2(s)+2K^+(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)$

In this equation, $K^+\text{ and }NO_3^-$ are the spectator ions.

By removing the spectator ions from the balanced ionic equation, we get the net ionic equation.

The net ionic equation will be,

$Pb^{2+}(aq)+2I^{-}(aq)\rightarrow PbI_2(s)$
