Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)

Iron in presence of moisture reacts with oxygen gas to from iron(III) oxide of red brown color often termed as rust.

Building material used up in min building is metal which which span of time changed its color to rust formation. Therefore this means rust or change in color is due to the iron metal which reacts with oxygen and water present in the air.

Metals have low ionization energies and readily share their ________ or outer electrons with each other to form an electron ____
Dmitry [639]

Explanation:

Metals are the species which readily lose electrons in order to attain stability. This electron lost by the atom is actually present in its outermost shell which is also known as valence shell.

Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom.

When we move across a period from left to right then there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atoms. Therefore, ionization energy increases along a period.  

But when we move down a group then there occurs an increase in atomic size of the atoms due to addition of number of electrons in the atoms. Hence, ionization energy decreases along a group.

Thus, we can conclude that metals have low ionization energies and readily share their valence or outer electrons with each other to form an electron sea. These electrons are delocalized or shared among all the atoms that are bonded together and can therefore move freely throughout the metal structure.

What is one advantage of doing a feild experiment instead of a laboratory experiment
Ber [7]

Answer:

  Field experiments can often have the potential to give scientists opportunities that are not possible in a lab setting.

Explanation:

  Having people "act natural" in a lab setting is impossible to truly achieve, as we all know what happens to our mental state and behavior when we are being actively observed. This is also especially helpful when conducting wildlife research, as there are a myriad of different things influencing animal and plant behavior that would be nigh impossible to recreate perfectly in a controlled lab setting.

  Field research can have its disadvantages as well, as it is very hard to only have one thing change (make an independent variable) in a wild environment with ever-changing weather, social effects, etc. Also, you, as the researcher, as causing an impact on the very location that you are observing, which can alter your results in unpredictable ways.

  The thing to remember is that each type of study has its advantages and disadvantages; if they didn't, then we'd all do the same type of research! You have to weigh your research options and figure out which one works best for your situation :)

Single and double replacement reactions practice WS CuCl2 +<br> F2 »<br> CuF2<br> +<br> Cl2
Lapatulllka [165]
CuCl2+F2—>CuF2+Cl2.
This is a single replacement because there is one compound and one element. Picture Cu as ‘A’ Cl2 as ‘B’ and F2 as ‘C.’ So AB+C—>AC+B. A and B “broke up” and that resulted to A going with C to create the compound CuF2 leaving Cl2 alone.
