The answer is: K is more reactive than Ca because K has to lose only one electron to complete its outermost shell.
Potassium is a chemical element with atomic number 19 (number of electrons is 19).
Electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉K 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.
Potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.
Periodic law is the arrangement of the elements in order of increasing atomic number.
For example all alkaline metals (I group of periodic table, Na, K, Cs...) loose one electron in chemical reaction and react vigorously with water.
Reactivity series is an empirical progression of a series of metals, arranged by their reactivity from highest to lowest (alkaline metals have highest reactivity and Noble metals lowest reactivity).
The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).
Alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron, earth alkaline metals (right next to alkaline metals) have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons.
It is because of the small size and high electronegativity of nitrogen.
<span>Nitrogen has very small size as compared to the halogens, which have much larger sizes. Due to this, they can not remain bonded to the nitrogen atom and hence are highly unstable. </span>
Answer:
enthalpy
Explanation:
If it is used with a triangle in front, (delta H), that means the change in enthalpy. Delta H= (m)(s)(Delta T). m=mass of products, s=heat of the products, Delta T = change in temperature.
Hope that helps
Answer:
Inferring is when a scientist uses reasoning to explain or interpret the things they observe
The density of the sample is:
Density = mass / volume
Density = 9.85 / 0.675
Density = 14.6 g/cm³
If the sample has 95% gold, and 5% silver, its density should be:
0.95 x 19.3 + 0.05 x 10.5
Theoretical density = 18.9 g/cm³
The difference in theoretical and actual densities is very large, making it likely that the jeweler was not telling the truth.
