There are four sketches below. The first sketch shows a sample of Substance X. The three sketches underneath it show three different changes to the sample.
You must decide whether each of these changes is possible. If a change is possible, you must also decide whether it is a physical change or a chemical change.
Each sketch is drawn as if the sample were under a microscope so powerful that individual atoms could be seen. Also, you should assume that you can see the
entire sample, and that the sample is in a sealed box, so that no matter can enter or leave.

In the table below, there are descriptions of an experiment on samples of three different chemical elements. Decide whether the element is a metal or
nonmetal, if you can. If there is not enough information to decide, choose can't decide in the third column.

Element 1 is a moderately soft silvery-gray solid. A 5 cm x 5 cm square
of it, only 1 mm thick, is twisted using two pairs of pliers. The sheet
breaks in the middle. The freshly broken edges are lighter colored than
the surface.

Element 2 is a shiny silvery-gray solid. A 10. g cube of it is set on a hot
plate. After 10 minutes, the temperature of the top of the cube has risen
by less than 1 °C.

Element 3 is a hard silvery-gray solid. Wires are fastened to each side of
a 2 cm slab of it, and an ordinary household 9 V battery is hooked up so
that it can feed electricity through the slab to an LED. The LED glows
brightly.

- You are a researcher in a geochemistry laboratory. A colleague brought to you a new mineral that you have never seen before. You need to identify all of the elements and their quantities in this mineral. You turn the mineral into a powder and put the mineral into multiple scientific machines to determine what it is made of. Your sample contained the following elements and amounts. • 160 grams of oxygen 120 grams of silicon • • 80 grams of aluminum . 16 grams of magnesium 32 grams of calcium. . 4 grams of uranium. Determine the mass percent of the different components in your soil sample. • 29. Oxygen 30. Silicon 31. Aluminum 32. Magnesium 33. Calcium 34. Uraniumarrow_forwardplz explain in simple termsarrow_forwardCompounds are combinations of elements. The combination of those elements is specific to the compound. Some compounds have the exact same elements but in different amounts. Look at C6H12O6, which you hopefully recognize as glucose (think cellular respiration and photosynthesis. But ribose is a 5 carbon sugar and its formula is C5H10O5 which you hopefully recognize (think RNA). They both have the same elements, but have different numbers of each element (sugars all have the 1:2:1 ratio). When you're looking at a formula, it's wise to look for the capital letters. That indicates when a different element is present. For glucose, there's a capital C - carbon, a capital H - hydrogen, and a capital O - oxygen. Behind elements, the subscripts help indicate the number of each element that's present. In glucose, there are 6 carbons, 12 hydrogens, and 6 oxygens. How many carbons, hydrogens, and oxygens does ribose have in its formula?arrow_forward
