Answer:

Some of the physical changes used by the industrial chemist in order to identify it is by scratching it with other metals in order to find the hardness of it. Trying to deform it in order to find the malleability, and to heat it and measure the temperature in order to find the melting point.  

Some of the chemical changes used by the industrial chemist in order to identify it is by inserting it in water to observe that whether it reacts with it or not, if the reaction is violent, then the metal belongs to either group I or group II. The other method is to insert it in acids of distinct strength and to observe its reaction. The metals belonging to the second group react briskly with acids. The other metals react gradually with acids and others are almost inert.

Liquid X is known to have a higher surface tension and higher viscosity than Liquid Y Use these facts to predict the result of b
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

O FX will be greater than FY

Explanation:

<em>Surface tension</em> can be defined as the force required to stretch one film of a given fase (usually with liquids).

This required force is proportional to the liquid's surface tension. This means that the higher the surface tension, the higher the required force to stretch it is.

One of the emission spectral lines for Be3+ has a wavelength of 253.4 nm for an electronic transition that begins in the state w
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Relationship between wavenumber and Rydberg constant (R) is as follows:

wave\ number=R\times Z^2\frac{1}{n_1^2} -\frac{1}{n_1^2}

Here, Z is atomic number.

R=109677 cm^-1

Wavenumber is related with wavelength as follows:

wavenumber = 1/wavelength

wavelength = 253.4 nm

wavenumber=\frac{1}{253.4\times 10^{-9}} \\=39463.3\ cm^{-1}

Z fro Be = 4

39463.3=109677\times 4^2(\frac{1}{n_1^2} -\frac{1}{5^2})\\39463.3=109677\times 16(\frac{1}{n_1^2} -\frac{1}{5^2})\\n_1=4

Therefore, the principal quantum number corresponding to the given emission is 4.

Be sure to answer all parts. There are three different dichloroethylenes (molecular formula C2H2Cl2), which we can designate X,
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Explanation:Since the compound X has no net-dipole moment so we can ascertain that this compound is not associated with any polarity.

hence the compound must be overall non-polar. The net dipole moment of compound is zero means that the vector sum of individual dipoles are zero and hence the two individual bond dipoles associated with C-Cl bond  must be oriented in  the opposite directions with respect to each other.]

So we can propose that compound X must be trans alkene as only in trans compounds the individual bond dipoles cancel each other.

If one isomer of the alkene is trans then the other two isomers may be cis .

Since the two alkenes give the same molecular formula on hydrogenation which means they are quite similar and only slightly different.

The two possibility of cis structures are possible:

in the first way it is possible the one carbon has two chlorine substituents and the carbon has two hydrogens.

Or the other way could be that two  chlorine atoms are present on the two carbon atoms in cis manner that is on the same side and two hydrogens are also present on the different carbon atoms in the same manner.

Kindly refer the attachments for the structure of compounds:

Beryllium has a nucleus composed of protons and neutrons. Given the data, how many protons are in a typical Beryllium nucleus?
Jlenok [28]

Atoms are made of 3 types of subatomic particles ; protons, neutrons and electrons

protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus and electrons are found in energy shells around the nucleus. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral. elements in their ground state are neutral with equal amounts of protons and electrons.

Atomic number is the number of protons. atomic number is characteristic for the element.

atomic number of Be is 4 therefore Be has 4 protons

answer is B. 4
