A mixture can be separated. Everything in a mixture keeps it's own properties and are not chemically joined together. I am not completely sure about the compound. Although with the cake example, the ingredients have been mixed and kind of "fused" together upon baking. Hope this helps a little. (P.S. trail mix is a good example of a mixture.)
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. Fan blades would be an analogy for electron cloud model. Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961) developed an “Electron Cloud Model<span>” in 1926. It consisted of a dense nucleus surrounded by a cloud of electrons. Hope this helps.</span>
Answer:
1s2 2s2 2p6
Explanation:
The nitride ion(N^3-) is formed when nitrogen gains three electrons. Nitrogen possesses seven electrons in its orbitals and ordinarily has the electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p3. However,being in group 15, nitrogen can accept three electrons to form the nitride ion and complete its octet of electrons. When this happens, three electrons are added to the nitrogen atom and the electronic configuration is now the same as that of Neon, its closest noble gas which is 1s2 2s2 2p6. Hence the answer given above.
Elements can accept or donate electrons in order to complete their octet structure in accordance to the octet rule which states that atoms and ions must possess eight electrons in their outermost shell in order to attain chemical stability. The reason for ion formation and chemical reaction is in order for species to attain the octet structure.
Answer:
2K (s) + Cl₂ (g) ⇒ 2KCl (s)
Explanation:
Potassium and chlorine gas combine to form potassium chloride which is an ionic compound. The reaction is a type of combination reaction in which chlorine is being added to the metal, potassium.
Potassium reacts violently with the chlorine which is yellowish green in color to produce white solid of potassium chloride.
The balanced reaction is shown below as:
2K (s) + Cl₂ (g) ⇒ 2KCl (s)
