Gerald's science teacher mixed liquid X and liquid Y, both at room-temperature, in a large beaker. two beakers of clear solutions to the left of a right-pointed arrow, and a large beaker with a clear solution to the right of the arrow The mixture in the large beaker still looked clear like water, but when the students, one at a time, carefully touched the outside of the large beaker, it felt warm to the touch. Why did the large beaker most likely feel warm? A. The two liquids were not soluble in water. B. The release of a gas heated the solution. C. A chemical reaction produced a new substance. D. The energy of mixing warmed the liquids.

the answer is C

Explanation:

c

Explanation:

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
