Used as an alloy in ball point pens nearly twice as dense as lead the strong odor given off by this metal is a result of its highly toxic oxide?
osmium
What type of matter is sodium?
Sodium is an alkali metal element. It does not exist in it's elemental form on earth since it oxidizes quickly. It is highly reactive with water and a fiery explosion is often the result if the two come into contact.
Why can sodium not be used to make a container in which to boil water?
Sodium is highly reactive with water. If water meets sodium the result is explosive.
Why is the mass number not exact?
The Atomic mass units of an element are never simple numbers because it is impossible to determine the number of molecules in one element, and as a result we are simply left with a vague idea of how many grams per one mole (which is composed of molecules) of that element.
Is brittle deformation a form of rock deformation?
yes.It is as a result of compression forces acting on a rock which is not very tough as a result it break.if a rock is highly resistant folding occurs and you have a fold mountain building up.
What is the 85th element on the Periodic Table of Elements?
The 85th element on the Periodic Table of Elements is astatine (At). It is a highly radioactive element and the heaviest known halogen. Astatine is rare and is primarily produced as a result of decay processes in uranium ores.

osmium
Is a chlorine atom stable even if it has seven atoms in the outer third shell?
No. Chlorine's electron configuration is unstable. As a result, chlorine is a highly reactive element.
When an element undergoes nuclear transmutation the result is a completely different what?
When an element undergoes nuclear transmutation the result is a completely different element or isotope. All transmutation occurs through decay or nuclear reaction.
How can two atoms of the same element have different numbers of neutrons why doesnt the different number of neutrons make it a different element?
Neutrons have no significant effects on an atom's properties other than its mass. Nearly all chemical and physical properties of an element are determined by the configuration and number of electrons it has, which is in turn determined by the number of protons in the nucleus. As a result two atoms of the same element but with different numbers of neutrons (called isotopes) will behave identically.
Nearly half of the accidental deaths in homes are the result of what?
accidents in the bathroom
Is the result of mixing NaCL and AgNO3 a element or compound?
compound
Which result if water is heated and highly pressured underground?
a gryser
Result being Statistically Significant or not statistically significant?
"Statistically significant" means that the result is beyond the element of chance.
How do you find the HCF of all the numbers in an array java?
I guess you mean the highest common factor. Use a loop. Start assuming that the hcf is the first number in the array. Call this "result". Find the hcf of "result" and the second element, assign this to "result". Find the hcf of "result" and the third element, and copy this back to result, etc.
An atom will react with other atoms only until?
It will depend on the chemical properties of the atom and the other atom. If one element is highly unstable and the other one is also highly unstable, it is likely something will happen, such as combustion. If a moderately unstable element touches a highly stable and inert element, it will be likely that the more inert and stable element will not react with it because of its stubborn nature. If, however, the element is not so inert and stable, the more unstable element might win over.
When atoms are combined the result is?
a molecule of an element (O2) or compound (CO2)
