The correct answer is higher melting point, bound by metal metal bonds.

While alkali metals only have one valence electron, alkaline earth metals have two. Metal to metal connections hold the metals together. Alkaline earth metals have a stronger metallic connection and a higher melting point because they have two valence electrons.

the characteristics that Group 2 metals excel in over Group 1 metals.

  • Initial Ionization Potential
  • Group 2 items are more difficult than group 1 elements.
  • Strong propensity to produce bivalent compounds

As a result, group 2 metals have stronger metallic bonding, which leads to increased cohesive energy and compact atom packing. This explains why group 2 metals are harder and have higher melting and boiling temperatures than group 1 metals.

The following reaction shows sodium carbonate reacting with calcium hydroxide.
velikii [3]

Ans: 15.1 grams

Given reaction:

Na2CO3 + Ca(OH)2 → 2NaOH + CaCO3

Mass of Na2CO3 = 20.0 g

Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 105.985 g/mol

# moles of Na2CO3 = 20/105.985 = 0.1887 moles

Based on the reaction stoichiometry: 1 mole of Na2CO3 produces 2 moles of NaOH

# moles of NaOH produced = 0.1887*2 = 0.3774 moles

Molar mass of NaOH = 22.989 + 15.999 + 1.008 = 39.996 g/mol

Mass of NaOH produced = 0.3774*39.996 = 15.09 grams

What is one chemical reaction that begins with petroleum as a starting material
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Thermal decomposition or cracking

Explanation:

Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons which are usually formed naturally. Petroleum undergo a host of chemical reactions. One of such is thermal decomposition or cracking.

Cracking is used in the petroleum industry to covert heavy fractions to more useful lighter ones.

When petroleum is subjected to high temperature and pressure, and in the presence of catalyst, the long chain type of petroleum will decompose into more useful smaller and lighter molecules.

Example is given below:

                  C₁₅H₃₂ → C₈H₁₈ + C₃H₆ + 2C₂H₄
