Answer:
C) Highly reactive
Explanation:
An atom with one or two valence electrons more than a closed shell is highly reactive, because the extra valence electrons are easily removed to form a positive ion
Answer:
All three states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) expand when heated. The atoms themselves do not expand, but the volume they take up does.
When a solid is heated, its atoms vibrate faster about their fixed points. The relative increase in the size of solids when heated is therefore small. Metal railway tracks have small gaps so that when the sun heats them, the tracks expand into these gaps and don’t buckle.
Liquids expand for the same reason, but because the bonds between separate molecules are usually less tight they expand more than solids. This is the principle behind liquid-in-glass thermometers. An increase in temperature results in the expansion of the liquid which means it rises up the glass.
Molecules within gases are further apart and weakly attracted to each other. Heat causes the molecules to move faster, (heat energy is converted to kinetic energy) which means that the volume of a gas increases more than the volume of a solid or liquid.
However, gases that are contained in a fixed volume cannot expand - and so increases in temperature result in increases in pressure.:
Answer: Lithium
Explanation: The balanced chemical equation is:
It can be seen, 4 moles of lithium combines with 1 mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of lithium oxide.
Thus 8.4 moles of lithium combines with=
of oxygen gas to produce 4.2 moles of lithium oxide.
As, Lithium limits the formation of product, it is the limiting reagent and Oxygen gas is present in excess, it is called the excess reagent. (4.6-2.1)=2.5 moles of oxygen gas are present in excess.
Answer:
Glycogen: It is made up of a large chain of molecules. ...
Cellulose: The cell wall of the plants is made up of cellulose. ...
Starch: It is formed by the condensation of amylose and amylopectin. ...
Insulin: It is made up of a number of fructofuranose molecules linked together in chains.
Explanation:
Answer:
a) alkali metals
Explanation:
The element described above definitely belonged to the alkali metals, the first group on the periodic table. They show the properties indicated in the text.
- They are metals because only metals are lustrous and malleable. This eliminates the possibility of them being halogens and noble gases.
- Only group 1 metals reacts vigorously with water to form alkali.
- Alkali are aqueous solutions that are basic in nature.
- The reactivity of group 1 metals is due to their one extra electrons in the outer most shell.
- These electrons are easily and readily lost in order for such atoms to gain stability and replicate the nearest noble gases.
- The most reactive metal belongs to this group elements.
- This is why it is nearly impossible to find them occurring alone in free state.
- Some of the elements in this group are Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs and Fr.
- Transition metals have variable oxidation states and some can be found alone in nature.
