When a highly reactive metal, such as lithium (Li), is mixed with a highly reactive nonmetal, such as chlorine (Cl), they will m

ost likely combine to form lithium chloride (LiCl). Based on the trends of the periodic table, which other element is likely to combine with lithium? A. neon (Ne) B. fluorine (F) C. silver (Ag) D. calcium (Ca)

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Lithium is an alkali metal with atomic number 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1.

So, in order to attain stability it needs to lose its one valence electron and thus it becomes Li^{+} ion.

Hence, an ionic bond will always be formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal. As atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic configuration is 2, 7.

So, fluorine on gaining one electron from lithium will form LiF compound.

Whereas neon is a noble gas so it will be unreactive in nature and silver and calcium being metals will not be able to combine with lithium which is also a metal.

Thus, we can conclude that fluorine (F) is the element which is likely to combine with lithium.

B. Fluorine.


Chlorine and Fluorine are in the same period which means they have similar properties and reactivity.

(You do) If you have 47.2 mol of Na available, along with an excess of Cl₂, how many grams of NaCl can you produce?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

2,760 grams NaCl

Explanation:

To find grams of NaCl, you need to (1) convert moles of Na to moles of NaCl (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction) and (2) convert moles of NaCl to grams (via molar mass from periodic table). The final answer should have 3 significant figures based on the given measurement.

2 Na + Cl₂ --> 2 NaCl

Molar Mass (NaCl) = 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass (NaCl) = 58.44 g/mol

47.2 moles Na           2 moles NaCl              58.44 grams

----------------------  x  ---------------------------  x  -------------------------  =
                                   2 moles Na                   1 mole NaCl

= 2,758.368 grams NaCl

= 2,760 grams NaCl

The atomic weight of boron is reported as 10.81, yet no atom of boron has the mass of 10.81 amu. explain
aivan3 [116]
<span>Boron has a lot of different isotopes, most of which having a very short half life (ranging from 770 milliseconds for Boron-8 down to 150 yoctoseconds for boron-7). But the two isotopes Boron-10 and Boron-11 are stable with about 80.1% of the naturally occurring boron being boron-11 and the remaining 19.9% being boron-10. The weighted average weight of those 2 isotopes has the value of 10.81. The reason they use the average mass of an element for it's atomic weight is because elements in nature are rarely single isotopes. The weighted average allows us to easily compare relative number of atoms of one element against relative numbers of atoms of another element assuming that the experimenters are getting isotope ratios close to their natural ratios.</span>

Phosphorous would gain or lose electrons?
devlian [24]

Answer: the valence electron for phosphorus is 5. To achieve an octet electron arrangement, it needs to lose 5 electrons or gain 3 electrons. It is easier to gain 3 electrons than to lose 5 electrons. So phosphorus has to gain 3 electrons.
