Explain why alkali metals do not form divalent ions.

1 answer:

7 0

Alkali metals have only one electron in their outermost energy levels , so (they can loose one electron to) they form a mono positive ion only . That's why alkali metal do not from dispositive ions .

Hope that helps:)

Which of the following represents positron emission? Select one: a. 3015P ---> 3014Si + ___ b. 23892U ---> 23490Th + ___ c

xxTIMURxx [149]

The simple trick which one can consider in such problem where it is asked for positron emission is :
When the atomic number goes DOWN by one and mass number remains unchanged, then a positron is emitted.

a. $P^{30}_{15} ----\ \textgreater \ Si^{30}_{14} + e^{0}_{1}^+$

Here the atomic number decreases by one.

Similarly, options b and d are eliminated.

Option c is also not the answer.
For c, Count the atomic number on left side and compare it with right side. You will see it is 9 on left and 8 on right. Atomic no. did go down by 1. But the atomic mass is changed as well.

If a system performs 147 kJ of work while receiving 47 kJ of heat, what is change in its internal energy?

Verdich [7]

Answer:

-100 kJ

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying the first law of thermodynamics, which states that:

$\Delta U = Q-W$

where:

$\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy of a system

Q is the heat absorbed/released by the system (it is positive if absorbed by the system, negative if released by the system)

W is the work done by the system (it is positive if done by the system, negative if done on the system)

For the system in this problem we have:

W = +147 kJ is the work done by the system

Q = +47 kJ is the heat absorbed by the system

So , its change in internal energy is:

$\Delta U = +47 - (+147) =-100 kJ$

A major textile dye manufacturer developed new yellow dye. The dye has a percent composition of 75.9 5% C, 17.72% N

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Such molecule must have molecular formula of C15N3H15

Explanation:

Mass of carbon in such molecule

$0.7595*240_{g/mol} =182.28_{g C/mol}$

The atomic mass of carbon is 12.01 g/mol, so in 182.28 g of carbon there is 15.18 mols of carbon.

Mass of Nitrogen in such molecule

$0.1772*240_{g/mol} =37.73_{g C/mol}$

The atomic mass of nitrogen is 14.01 g/mol, so in 42.53g of nitrogen there is 3.04 mols of nitrogen.

Mass of Hydrogen in such molecule

$0.0633*240_{g/mol} =15.19 {g C/mol}$

The atomic mass of Hydrogen is 1.00 g/mol, so in 15.19 g of Hydrogen there is 15.19 mols of Hydrogen.

Such molecule must have molecular formula of C15N3H15

What is a vocab word for Friction?

Leona [35]

Answer: Friction is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. Instead, scientists believe it is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces.
