15. D is correct, exothermic reactions release heat
I am not sure about 16
Answer:
How does the energy required to remove an electron from an atom change as you move left to right in Period 4 from potassium through iron? ... A greater nuclear charge pulls the electrons closer to the nucleus, decreasing the atomic radius.
Answer:
c : 13%
Explanation:
Data Give:
Experimental density of vanadium = 6.9 g/cm³
percent error = ?
Solution:
Formula used to calculate % error
% error = [experimental value -accepted value/accepted value] x 100
The reported accepted density value for vanadium = 6.11 g/cm³
Put value in the above equation
% error = [ 6.9 - 6.11 / 6.11 ] x 100
% error = [ 0.79 / 6.11 ] x 100
% error = [ 0.129] x 100
% error = 12.9
Round to the 2 significant figure
% error = 13 %
So, option c is correct
Barium :

with +2 being the charge
Oxygen :

with -2 being the charge
The given equation can be written as:
Ba + O = BaO
Since the sum charges of Barium and Oxygen equals 0, there is no need to add subscripts.
Both Ba and O appear on the left and right side of the equation once, so there is no need to add a coefficient.
Ba + O = BaO is balanced
I can tell you there certainly is enough information, so we can eliminate the fourth option right away.
Group two elements tend to form 2+ cations, and nitrogen forms 3- anions. To make a stable substance, we need those to cancel out. Calling the group 2 element X:
N2X3 would cause the charge to be 2(-3) + 3(2) = 0
This would mean 3 ions of X and 2 anions of N would be a stable ionic compound.
