a) The E might belong to group 13.

As the formula of a chemical compound is derived by the cross multiplication of the valency of the atoms. As formula of the given oxide is and valency of O atom is -2, therefore valency of element E must be +3 in order to obtain E2O3.

Also, in EF3, the valency of E will be +3 because there are three atoms of fluorine who has an individual valency of -1. Thus, e will have the valency of +3.

The Group 13 is the boron group which has the following elements:

Boron
Aluminium
Gallium
Indium
Thallium

All these elements have the valency of +3.

write a generalization correlating solubility with ionization. start with: "as compounds become more ionized,..."

Tema [17]

Answer:

the solubility increases

Explanation:

The solubility of any ionic compound is due to the ionization of the compound and then the strong ion-dipole interactions acting between the ions and the solvent.

Thus, solubility also depends on the extent of the ionization of the salt.

The more the salt ionizes, the more there is ion-dipole interaction between the ions the solvent and more is the solubility.

Which statement accurately describes the charge of the nucleus of an atom? (2 points) The nucleus can be either positively charg

Andrew [12]

Atoms are fundamental constituents of all matter. The following statement is correct. The nucleus always has a positive charge. This is because the nucleus contains sub-atomic particles called protons. Each proton carries a single positive charge. The nucleus is also home to sub-atomic particles called neutrons that do not possess a charge.
