Because the Potassium ion loses an electron, the electrons come a little closer to the nucleus because they are attracted to the protons. This makes the ion smaller in radius
Alkali metals are known for being some of the most reactive metals. This is due in part to their larger atomic radii and low ionization energies. They tend to donate their electrons in reactions and often have an oxidation state of +1. These metals are characterized as being extre
<span>Both provide approaches to confirming the result of experimentation. Repetition can be developed by one scientist or team continually achieving the expected result but replication requires an independent person or team shows thay can arrive at the same answer independently</span>
Answer:
1. Synthesis
2. Decomposition
3. Single replacement
4. Synthesis
5. Decomposition
6. Synthesis
Explanation:
Kind of a hard picture to look at but let me define each chemical reaction:
Synthesis:
a + b ---> ab In synthesis elements/compounds come together to form new compounds
Decomposition:
ab ---> a + b In decomposition a compound breaks down to form 2 elements/compounds
Single replacement:
a + bc ---> b + ac In a single replacement one element/compound takes the place of another element/compound.
Double replacement
ab + cd ---> ad + bc In a double replacement 2 compounds exchange different elements/compounds.
Now, let's go through the assignment
1. P + O2 --> P4O10 This is a synthesis reaction because the two elements (P and O) came together to form one compound.
2. HgO ---> Hg + O2 This is a decomposition reaction because HgO broke into separate elements Hg and O.
3. Cl2 + NaBr ---> NaCl + Br2 This is a single replacement reaction because chlorine (Cl) replaced the spot of bromine (Br) to bond with sodium (Na).
4. Mg + O2 ---> MgO This is a synthesis reaction because two elements (Mg and O) came together to form one compound.
5. Al2O3 ---> Al + O2 This is a decomposition reactions because Al2O3 broke into separate elements Al and O.
6. H2 + N2 ---> NH3 This is a synthesis reaction because two elements (H and N) came together to form one compound.
