Answer:
Electrons
Explanation:
In an atom there would be three subatomic particles: Neutrons, electrons, protons. The smallest and lightest in terms of mass is electrons. This is because the nucleus is comprised of the protons and the neutrons, these have a greater mass than electrons as electrons has very little mass that can considered to be 0.
Answer:
- They are highly reactive metals
- They have low electro negativity
- They have low ionization energy
- They don't exist alone in nature
- They have low densities
Explanation:
Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.
Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.
Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.
Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.
Due to this reason, they also have low densities.
Answer:
[H₃O⁺] = [F⁻] = 2.2 x 10⁻² M. & [OH⁻] = 4.55 x 10⁻¹³.
Explanation:
- For a weak acid like HF, the dissociation of HF will be:
<em>HF + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + F⁻.</em>
[H₃O⁺] = [F⁻].
<em>∵ [H₃O⁺] = √Ka.C,</em>
Ka = 6.8 x 10⁻⁴, C = 0.710 M.
∴ [H₃O⁺] = √Ka.C = √(6.8 x 10⁻⁴)(0.710) = 2.197 x 10⁻² M ≅ 2.2 x 10⁻² M.
<em>∴ [H₃O⁺] = [F⁻] = 2.2 x 10⁻² M.</em>
<em></em>
∵ [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.
<em>∴ [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/[H₃O⁺]</em> = 10⁻¹⁴/(2.2 x 10⁻²) = <em>4.55 x 10⁻¹³.</em>
Answer:
3.46x10⁴
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we can see that the number 34,560 has five significant figures, it means that if we want to write it with three, we must take the 3, 4 and 5 only. Nevertheless, since the 6 after the five is greater than 5, we can round such five to 6, so we obtain:
346
However, the decimal places cannot get lost, therefore, we move the given thousand to the three, so the number turns out:
3.46x10⁴
Best regards.
