Group 1A (the alkali metals) almost always form cations (positive ions). They'd need anions (negative ions) to ionic bond with. Beryllium (Be) is group 1A already and forms Be+ cation. Bromine is a halogen, and forms Br-, an anion. Platinum is a metal, and usually won't ionic bond with anything. Francium is rare and highly radioactive, plus it so happens to be group 1A as well. Only bromine can form the anion that the group 1A cations need.
Answer:
magnesium
Explanation:
magnesium has fewer valence shells meaning that the protons have a stronger hold on the electrons and it would take more energy to remove an electron to create an ion.
Answer:
12 grams
Explanation:
if you used the transformation equation you would end up with 12 grams
Moles= mass divided by molar mass
Molar mass= 12.01(4) + 1.01(10)
= 58.14g/mol
Moles=14.5g / 58.14g/mol
=0.249
Therefore there are approx 0.249 moles in a 14.5g sample of C4H10
Nuclear transmutation is the conversion of one chemical element or isotope into another. In other words, atoms of one element can be changed into atoms of another element by transmutation.
