Which of these substances are elements?
more than 1 answer
1.silicon
2.lead
3.silicone
4.water
5.iodine
6.quartz

Answer is:

1. silicon.

2. lead.

5. iodine.

Silicon (symbol: Si) is an element with atomic number 14 (14 protons).

Lead (Pb) is an element with atomic number 82.

Iodine (I) is an element with atomic number 53.

Silicone is a compound (polymer) made of silicon, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and other elements.

Quartz is a compound (mineral) made of silicon and oxygen atoms.

- 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

the potential energy of the reactants is 200j.

from the energy diagram, the energy of the product formed is 350j; this means that, this reaction is an endothermic reaction, because it absorbs energy from its environment.
