Compare the ability to hold on to / attract electrons between metals and nonmetals.

Chemistry
1 answer:
skad [1K]1 year ago
5 0

Nonmetals have the ability to attract electrons better than metals because they have a higher electron affinity or electronegativity than metals.

<h3>What is electronegativity?</h3>

Electronegativity is the tendency, or a measure of the ability, of an atom or molecule to attract electrons and thus form bonds.

An element in the periodic table with a high electronegativity will automatically have a high electron affinity.

Metals (low electronegativity) are known to lose electrons to non-metals (high electronegativity), hence, nonmetals have the ability to attract electrons better than metals because they have a higher electron affinity or electronegativity than metals.

How many H atoms in 12H2O?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

24 atoms of H  or 1.4 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms

Explanation:

simple method

1 H₂O has  atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen

while 12H₂O will have 24 atoms of hydrogen and 12 atom of oxygen

by Avagadros number

molar mass of water H₂0=18.01528 g/mol

1 mole of H₂0 have 2 moles of Hydrogen  

one mole of water= 6.02⋅10²³water molecules =1.2 x 10²⁴hydrogen atoms

12 mole of H₂O   =    1.2 x 10²⁴ x 12=  1.4 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms  

<u />

1.4 x 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms   in 12 moles of H₂O

<u />

A student observes two strips of magnesium, mg ribbon that are each 3cm long. One strip of magnesium
ankoles [38]

Therefore option c , i.e. The substances in both test tubes are reactive only at high temperatures. is the only statement which is NOT supported by the student's observations.

<h3>What is the reaction between Magnesium and Hydrogen ?</h3>

Magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas

Mg (s) + 2 HCl (aq) → MgCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

In this reaction, the magnesium and acid are gradually used up , which can be seen in the test tube 2 .

A chemical reaction is taking place in Test tube 2 ,

Hydrogen gas is released in test tube 2 ,

Energy is released in the reaction involving hydrochloric acid and we can see in test tube 2 the reaction is going on

therefore option C i.e. The substances in both test tubes are reactive only at high temperatures. is the only statement which is NOT supported by the student's observation.

To know more about the chemical reaction between Magnesium and Hydrogen and this test.

Jamie rolls a 6-sided die 30 times and determines that the experimental probability of rolling a 2 is Start Fraction 1 over 15 E
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Conduct more trials

Explanation:

Theoretical Probability can be defined as what someone is expecting to happen

Experimental Probability on the other hand, is defined as what actually happens.

Probability is usually calculated in the same way for experimental probability and that of theoretical probability. You divide the total number of possible ways in which a particular outcome can happen, by the total number of outcomes itself.

In Experimental probability, the more times a probability is tried, it gets closer and even more closer to theoretical probability.

So, for the question, Jamie should improve the number of tries more, so as to get his experimental probability results to be closer to the theoretical probability result.

Why do many metal ions produce acidic solutions when dissolved in water?
lakkis [162]
<span>Water molecules form a complex with metal ions (usually a 6-coordinate complex). And the high charge density on a metal ion draws electrons away from the water molecules, making the O-H bonds more polar than normal. This allows the dissociation of the protons, making solutions of most metal ions acidic</span>
