when atoms react, they often lose, gain, or share electrons to form a more stable version of themselves. for example, alkali met

als such as na lose their outer shell electron in their reactions to form compounds. the electron configuration of alkali metals would then resemble those of which group of the periodic table in the compounds they form?

The electron configuration of alkali metals would then resemble those of group 17 of the periodic table in the compounds they form.

<h3></h3><h3>What is periodic table?</h3>

Periodic table is defined as a tabular approach of showing the items so that they appear in the same vertical column or group when their attributes are similar. Phosphorus is the oldest chemical element, and hassium is the newest. Please take note that, unlike in the Periodic system, the elements do not exhibit their natural relationships with one another.

The elements that make up group 17 of the periodic table are the halogens. They are nonmetals that are reactive, such as iodine, bromine, chlorine, and fluorine. Halogens are non-metals that are very reactive. These substances share a lot of characteristics with one another.

Thus, the electron configuration of alkali metals would then resemble those of group 17 of the periodic table in the compounds they form.

Answer:  The alkali metals will lose an electron to resemble the next lowest noble gas; thus, all the alkali metals form +1 ions. K loses an electron so that it will have the same electron configuration as Ne.

1A or group 1

Hope this helps! Have a good day!

consider the following equilibrium:h2co3(aq) h2o(l) h3o (aq) hco3-1(aq).what is the correct equilibrium expression?
MAVERICK [17]

The equilibrium expression shows the ratio between products and reactants. This expression is equal to the concentration of the products raised to its coefficient divided by the concentration of the reactants raised to its coefficient. The correct equilibrium expression for the given reaction is:<span>

<span>H2CO3(aq) + H2O(l) = H3O+(aq) + HCO3-1(aq)

Kc = [HCO3-1] [H3O+] / [H2O] [H2CO3]</span></span>

A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20 and a mass number of 42. How many electrons does the atom have?
Bingel [31]

If we have a neutral atom, then it has the same number protons and neutrons.

The number protons and neutrons for neutral atom shows atomic number.

"A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20" means that atom has 20 protons (that give charge "+ 20" ) and 20 electrons (that give charge "-20").

Answer is 20 electrons.

All the following are steps included in linking amino acids to form chains except
ss7ja [257]
The correct option is D.
During peptide formation, when two amino acids come together, a hydrogen atom and two molecules of oxygen are released in form of water molecules. The amino acid that present the carboxyl group to the reaction loses an hydroxyl group while the amino acid that present the amino group to the reaction loses a hydrogen.

The major ways people are exposed to toxins are by ingesting them, inhaling them, injecting
iris [78.8K]

It is true that the major ways people are exposed to toxins are by ingesting them, inhaling them, injecting  them, or absorbing them through the skin.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Toxins can enter in four various ways into our body often referred as "route of exposure". It is one among many factors affecting toxicity.

Inhalation: When the toxin is a gas, it is usually absorbed into the body by inhalation. Inhalation of toxins may cause respiratory and lung damage. Eg: cigarette smoke

Absorption: If a toxin enters the human eye or skin, it can be absorbed into the bloodstream. This is called absorption. The skin can prevent some toxins from entering the body. For example: work stations (gas stations) where people work with toxins

Ingestion means that the person has ingested the toxin. Some chemicals cannot get into blood from digestive tract. For example: drinking contaminated water.

The injected toxin enters the body when the person carrying the toxin breaks the skin. Injections can end in veins, muscles or just under the skin. Eg: Botulinum (used to get rid of wrinkles)

In bio-chemistry, poison, a natural or synthetic substance that damages living tissue and has a harmful or lethal effect on the body, regardless of whether it is absorbed, inhaled or injected through the skin.
