When looking at a periodic table of elements what do you know by knowing in which column an element appears?
Chemical elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.
Can knowing about chemical properties can help identify elements and compounds?
Reacts with other substances.
How can knowing the formula weights of the elements help you balance the equation?
The molar mass is not needed to balance a chemical reaction.You need to know the chemical formulas of reactants, the possible formulas of products, valences of elements and ions, general principles of chemical reactions, some chemical and physical properties of substances involved in the reaction.
How do scientists distinguish between an element and a compound?
An element, is a pure substance that can not be broken down by chemical means. a compound, is a pure substance that can be broken down by chemical means. by knowing those two things a scientist can distinguish between the two. elements- 1. carbon 2. aluminum compounds- 1. sodium chloride 2. carbon monoxide
Why it is important to know the properties of elements?
In chemistry it is very important to understand the properties of elements in order to predict their effects on other elements and compounds during chemical reactions. This information can be used to formulate a hypothesis for a reaction, or better understand the chemical processes that may have occurred in a reaction.
How can knowing the physical properties of a substance be useful?
The physical properties of a pure substance can be used to identify it. A pure substance is an element or a compound, not a mixture.
When looking at a periodic table of elements what do you know by knowing in which column an element appears?
Chemical elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.
Can knowing about chemical properties can help identify elements and compounds?
Reacts with other substances.
What does the mass number?
By knowing mass number of the elements we can easily find out the number of neutrons presen in the nuclei.Physical properties of elements somewhat depends on mass number.
Define two what elements of the congressional committee system and explain how each influences the legislative process?
The following elements will not be able to be defined without knowing what the elements are. Information about what the elements are should be included.
What is a math property?
Mathematical properties explain the way that numbers work. By knowing the properties, they make it easier to work with. An example would be the Commutative property of multiplication, which says that the answer to a multiplication question is the same no matter how the numbers are multiplied together, such as 3x2 or 2x3 both equaling 6.
How is knowing the properties of liquids helpful?
Knowing the properties of fuel is very helpful. For eg, if we know its burning temperature and amount of calories produced, we can determine its efficiency to be used as a fuel. also by knowing the properties of viscosity we can determine its rate of flow, how to efficiently use it for the various purposes. Properties help to determine the best use of the liquid and thus increasing efficiency and productivity.
What is importance of naming chemical formula?
A compound is a substance made up of a definite proportion of two or more elements. A chemical formula tells us the number of atoms of each element in a compound. It contains the symbols of the atoms of the elements present in the compound as well as how many there are for each element in the form of subscripts
What is the name of a 100000000000000 sided shape?
Knowing its name is not important but what's more important is knowing how to work out its properties.
What are the practical uses of knowing about elements and compounds?
ewan
What are the key elements of war?
