(i) Name the products formed when butane burns in limited supply of air.
(j) List three methods of separating a solid from a liquid.
Explanation
(a) Nucleons refer to the protons and neutrons that are found in the nucleus OR Nucleons are nuclear particles which are protons and neutrons.
(b) Graham's law of diffusion states that, at constant temperature and pressure, the rate of diffussion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density or molar mass or vapour density
(c) Aluminum oxide layer forms on the surface of the metal. The oxide layer forms a potective coating layer which does not flake off.
(d) — atomic radius, Ionic radius, ionization energy. —redox potentials, electronegativity, electron affinity. — melting point, boiling point, electrical conductivity.
(e) — Molecules of real gases have significant attractive forces between them.
— The volume of the molecules of real gases is not negligible.
--- Collision between the molecules are not perfectly elastic.
