Nothing is less dense than gas. gas is the least dense form of matter.
Anaerobic transformations of 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA), 1,1-dichloroethane (DCA), and chloroethane (CA) were studied with sludge from a lab-scale, municipal wastewater sludge digester. TCA was biologically transformed to DCA and CA and further to ethane by reductive dechlorination. TCA was also converted to acetic acid and 1,1-dichloroethene (11DCE) by cell-free extract. 11DCE was further biologically converted to ethene. This pathway was confirmed by transformation tests of TCA, DCA and CA, by tests with cell-free extract, and by chloride release during TCA degradation.
Answer:
Na: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
Na+: 1s2 2s2 2p6
Na+ electronic configuration resemble that of Neon( 1s2 2s2 2p6)
In general, the electronic configuration of alkali metals ions resemble that of the group zero (noble gas)
Ion is an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to loss or gain of one or more electrons.
