When two atoms of this element move towards each other, they will combine in a covalent bond to form a diatomic molecule.

Looking at the electron configuration of the atoms; 1s2 2s2 2p4, we can see that these are atoms of elements in group 16. The elements in group 16 has a general outer electronic configuration of ns2np4. They have a valency of 2.

When two atoms of this element approach each other, they will combine in a covalent bond to form a compound. If this element is depicted as X, the compound formed is X2.

Harvey kept a balloon with a volume of 348 milliliters at 25.0˚C inside a freezer for a night. When he took it out, its new volu
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

T2=276K

Explanation:

Given:

Initial volume of the balloon V1 = 348 mL

Initial temperature of the balloon T1 = 255C

Final volume of the balloon V2 = 322 mL

Final temperature of the balloon T2 =

To calculate T1 in kelvin

T1= 25+273=298K

Based on Charles law, which states that the volume of a given mass of a ideal gas is directly proportional to the temperature provided that the pressure is constant. It can be applied using the below formula

(V1/T1)=(V2/T2)

T2=( V2*T1)/V1

T2=(322*298)/348

T2=276K

Hence, the temperature of the freezer is 276 K

An action potential arriving at the presynaptic terminal causes what to occur? multiple choice voltage-gated calcium ion channel
Mazyrski [523]
The answer to this question would be: calcium ions to diffuse into the cell.

The presynaptic neuron would need to release neurotransmitter to the postsynaptic neuron. To do this, the action potential will cause calcium ion diffuse into the cell causing the vesicle with the neurotransmitter to migrate to the cell membrane and release its content.

3. A mass of 0.15 ounces is equal to how many grams?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Option C = 4.25 g

Explanation:

Ounce and grams are unit of mass. Ounce is larger unit while gram is smaller unit. The one ounce is consist of 28.35 g or we can say that one ounce is equal to 28.35 g. In order to convert the given ounce value into grams the value is multiply with 28.35 g.

Given data:

Mass = 0.15 ounce

Mass in gram = ?

Solution:

One ounce is equal to 28.35 g, so

0.15 × 28.35 = 4.25 g

Fluorine gas is placed in contact with calcium metal at high temperatures to produce calcium fluoride powder. What is the formul
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Upper F subscript 2 (g) plus upper C a (s) right arrow with delta above upper C a upper F subscript 2 (s).

Explanation:

This is a chemical reaction problem.

In expressing any chemical reaction, we need to understand that there are reactants and products.

  • The reactants are the species on the left hand side that are combining.
  • The products are the species on the right hand side that are formed.
  • Every chemical reaction is obeys the law of conservation of matter i.e equal number of matter on both sides.

Using the statement of this problem, we can deduce that;

 Reactants are Fluorine gas and Calcium metal

  Product is Calcium Fluoride

Note: A metal is a solid(s) and powder is a solid(s). A gas is denoted as (g). They depict the state of the species reacting.

                    F₂_{(g)}     +    Ca_{(s)}               →           CaF₂_{(s)}

We can see that equal number of atoms are on both sides of the expression.
