Alkaline Earth Metals are the elements located in the second period from the left of the periodic table. These elements lose two electrons to form the stable octet when forming an ionic bond, resulting in a net charge of +2. Because they’re trying to get rid of those electrons to get to the stable octet, it’s easy to remove them - this means that the ionization energy of these elements is relatively low. Finally, since they’re looking to get rid of electrons, they certainly aren’t trying to gain any, meaning that their electronegativity is relatively low.
The correct answers are A and D.
The definition of a common ion as it applies to Le Chatelier's principle is an ion that is present in an equilibrium system and a compound added to the system. This is the case since in Le Chatelier's principle, it is based on an equilibrium system and where the reaction shifts to the left or to the right; towards the products or the reactants side.
A substance that reduces the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is <u>base</u>.
A base which thus completely dissociates in an aqueous solution is referred to as a strong base. These substances produce one or more hydroxide ions (OH-) per base molecule when they ionize in water. A weak base, on the other hand, only partially splits into its water-soluble ions.
The three definitions of "base" used in chemistry are Arrhenius base, Bronsted base, as well as Lewis base. The fact instead that bases react towards acids is acknowledged by all base definitions.
Therefore, a substance that reduces the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is <u>base</u>.
