Which of the following does not describe elements?

The statement that does not describe elements would be that they can be separated by a chemical reaction. This is not the case, an element is a pure substance that can't be degraded into any other constituent that would form it. They are building blocks composed by atoms.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Elements are defined as the substance which contain same type of atoms.

An element cannot be divided into simpler substances by any physical or chemical means.

For example, a piece of aluminium will contain only atoms of aluminium.

The periodic table contains all the elements present in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the statement they can be separated by a chemical reaction, does not describe elements.

Which undefined geometric term is described as a two-dimensional set of points that has no beginning or end?
adell [148]

Answer:

  • <em>The two-dimensional set of points that has no beginning or end is described by the undefined geometric term</em> <u>plane.</u>

Explanation:

There are three <em>undefined terms</em><em> in geometry</em>:

  • point,
  • line, and
  • plane

They are referred as undefined terms because they are not defined in a formal way, i.e. using mathematically defined words. At the end these terms are abstractions (ideas).

The point has no dimensions, it can be represented by the tip of a sharp pencil.

The line is referred as an infinite set of joined points that extend indefinitely in one direction (from right to left, from north to south), so it has one dimension. The intersection of of two perpendicular walls is an example of what a line is.

Finally, the term to which the question is referred is the plane: an infinite set of joined points that extends in two dimensions. An example of plane is the surface of quite water. The plane does not have depth, only extension; that is why it has only two dimensions.

So, you should remember: points do not have dimensions, lines have one dimension, and planes have two dimensions.

Which of the following statements concerning hydrocarbons is/are correct?
Alona [7]

Answer:

1.  Saturated hydrocarbons may be cyclic or acyclic molecules.

2.  An unsaturated hydrocarbon molecule contains at least one double bond.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, hydrocarbons are defined as the simplest organic compounds containing both carbon and hydrogen only, for that reason we can immediately discard the third statement as ethylenediamine is classified as an amine (organic chain containing NH groups).

Next, as saturated hydrocarbons only show single carbon-to-carbon bonds and carbon-to-hydrogen bonds, they may be cyclic (ring-like-shaped) or acyclic (not forming rings), so first statement is true

Finally, since we can find saturated hydrocarbons which have single carbon-to-carbon and carbon-to-hydrogen bonds only and unsaturated hydrocarbons which could have double or triple bonds between carbons and carbon-to-hydrogen bonds, the presence of at least one double bond makes the hydrocarbon unsaturated.

Therefore, first and second statements are correct.

Best regards.

What is the density of a piece of metal in g/cm3 if its mass is determined to be 42.20 g and it is in the shape of a cube, with
maria [59]
It's a cube so the volume = edge^3
Volume = 2.5^3 cm^3 = 15.625 cm^3

density = mass / volume = 42.20 / 15.625 = 2.70 You have 3 places of accuracy.

density of object = 2.70 grams / cm^3 <<<<=== answer.
