Answer:
Chemical symbol
This is used to identify an element without having to write the full name and as such is a designation for the element. It is used in chemical reactions and is usually either one or two letters. Some symbols are, Iron - Fe, Hydrogen - H and Oxygen - O.
Valency
This refers to the capacity of an element to combine with another to form a compound. It is measured by the number of electrons that an atom of an element gains, looses or shares when a chemical reaction involving it takes place.
Answer:
Strontium
Explanation:
The atomic number of strontium is 38.
It has 38 electrons.
It is alkaline earth metal. It has two valance electrons.
Strontium loses its two electrons and form cation with +2 charge.
Electronic configuration;
Sr₃₈ = [Kr] 5s²
The valance electrons present in 5s are lost by strontium atom and form Sr⁺² cation.
it is yellowish-white metal.
It is highly reactive.
It form salt with halogens.e.g
Sr + Br₂ → SrBr₂
IT react with oxygen and form oxide.
2Sr + O₂ → 2SrO
this oxide form hydroxide when react with water,
SrO + H₂O → Sr(OH)₂
With nitrogen it produced nitride,
3Sr + N₂ → Sr₃N₂
With acid like HCl,
Sr + 2HCl → SrCl₂ + H₂
Answer:
See figure 1
Explanation:
If we want to find the acid and the Brønsted-Lowry base, we must remember the definition for each of these molecules:
-) Acid: hydrogen donor
-) Base: hydrogen acceptor
In the <u>caffeine structure,</u> we have several atoms of nitrogen. These nitrogen atoms have the ability to <u>accept</u> hydronium ions (
). Therefore the caffeine molecule will be the base since it can accept
If caffeine is the base, the water must be the acid. So, the water in this reaction donated a hydronium ion.
<u>Thus, caffeine is the base and water the acid. (See figure 1)</u>
Answer:
Diamond.
Explanation:
Having thermal conductivity of more than 2,000 WMK
WMK = Watts per Meter per Kelvin
D. a compound can only be separated into its components by chemical means
