The difference in the reactivity of metals accounts for why some metals will react with hot water but not with cold water. For example, aluminum is less reactive than sodium and will only react with hot water but not cold water.

<h3>What is reactivity of metals?</h3>

The reactivity of metals is the ability of a metals to lose electrons.

The reactivity of metals generally decreases from left to right across the periodic table but increases on going down a group.

Due to the differences in reactivity of metals, some metals are more reactive than others.

For example, the reactive metals sodium, potassium and calcium react with cold water to with differing degree of spontaneity to liberate hydrogen.

Some other metal like aluminum, zinc, and  iron can only react with hot water or steam to liberate hydrogen.

Therefore, the reactivity of a metal will determine if it will react with cold water or hot water.

AgNO₃+NaCl⇒AgCl+NaNO₃

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Double-Replacement reactions. Happens if there is an ion exchange between two ion compounds in the reactant to form two new ion compounds in the product

Reaction

AB + CD⇒AD + CB

So for the option :

1. synthesis/combination reaction

2. decomposition reaction

3. double replacement reaction

4. single replacement reaction

Rank the ions in each set in order of decreasing size, and explain your ranking:
Valentin [98]

Answer:

a) Se²⁻> S²⁻ > O²

b) Te²⁻ > I- >Cs+

c)  Cs+ > Ba²⁺ > Sr²⁺

Explanation:

(a) Se²⁻, S²⁻, O²⁻

In general, ionic radius decreases with increasing positive charge.

As the charge on the ion becomes more positive, there are fewer electrons.

The ion has a smaller radius. In general, ionic radius increases with increasing negative charge.

For ions of the same charge (e.g. in the same group) the size increases as we go down a group in the periodic table

Se²⁻> S²⁻ > O²

(b) Te²⁻, Cs⁺, I⁻

Te²⁻ > I- >Cs+

Te2- hast the biggest size, because of the double negative charge.

Cs+ has the smallest size since it has the most positive charge, compared to Te2- and I-.

(c) Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺, Cs⁺

Cs+ > Ba²⁺ > Sr²⁺

Cs+ has the biggest size, because its more downward (compared to Sr2+) and more to the left (compared) ot Ba2+.

Sr2+ has the smallest size because it's more upwords (compared to Cs+ and Ba2+)

Determine which physical conditions are necessary to support nuclear fusion and formation of stars.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Promotes Stellar Formation:

-Increased Gravitational Attraction

-Higher Temperature

Does Not Promote Stellar Formation:

-Decreased Gravitational Attraction

-Lower Temperature

Explanation:

Stars need at least three million kelvins to form, and the gravitational attraction helps form the star in the first place.
