The graph shows the heating curve of a chemical substance as it undergoes state changes from solid to liquid to gas. analyze the curve, and answer the questions
the substance is entirely solid between positions
b and c
particles of the substance are in the liquid state and are gaining kinetic energy between positions

Particles of the substance are in liquid state will gain kinetic energy between positions C and D.

Explanation:

Problem it tells us that between B an C the substance is solid, but I would say that is solid between A and B while between B and C it is a melting process in which particles will gain energy to transform from solid to liquid.

Now between C and D the particles of the liquid will receive energy which is transformed in kinetic energy so the participles will move faster.

Between D and E the particles the energy received is spent by the particles to pass from liquid state to vapors state.

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
