(a)
Interpretation:
Silicon is the second-most abundant element in Earth’s crust has to be indicated true or false.
Concept Introduction:
Element is a pure substance and it cannot be broken down into simpler pure substance by chemical means like
Elements that are laboratory synthesized are radioactive in nature and they convert back into the original naturally occurring element by emission of radiation. All the elements that occur naturally are not evenly distributed on earth and universe.
Radiations that are emitted from stars can be used to estimate the elemental composition of universe. This indicates that hydrogen and helium are mostly dominant. On Earth’s crust oxygen and silicon are the two elements that account for about
(b)
Interpretation:
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in universe but not in Earth’s crust has to be indicated true or false.
Concept Introduction:
Element is a pure substance and it cannot be broken down into simpler pure substance by chemical means like chemical reaction, electric current, heat, or light. Over several centuries, the discovery of 118 known elements and its isolation have taken place. These 118 elements are the building blocks of all matter. Out of the 118 elements, eighty-eight elements are naturally occurring and the other 30 elements are laboratory synthesized by bombarding elements that naturally occur with small particles.

- True or false? If a theory is disproven, then all of the observations that support that theory are also disproven. Explain.arrow_forwardSeveral samples of carbon dioxide are obtained and decomposed into carbon and oxygen. The masses of the carbon and oxygen are then weighed, and the results are tabulated as shown here. One of these results does not follow the law of constant composition and is therefore wrong. Which one? a. 12 grams of carbon and 32 grams of oxygen b. 4.0 grams of carbon and 16 grams of oxygen c. 1.5 grams of carbon and 4.0 grams of oxygen d. 22.3 grams of carbon and 59.4 grams of oxygenarrow_forwardConstant Composition of Compounds Two samples of sugar are decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample of sugar produces 18.0 g carbon, 3.0 g hydrogen, and 24.0 g oxygen; the other sample produces 24.0 g carbon, 4.0 g hydrogen, and 32.0 g oxygen. Find the ratio of carbon to hydrogen and the ratio of oxygen to hydrogen for each of the samples, and show they are consistent with the law of constant composition.arrow_forward
