How does the location of hydrogen on the periodic table differ from the locations of other nonmetals?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tom [10]3 years ago

It's special, because it has only one electron, while the ideal "noble gas" configuration (helium) would call for two.

EXPLANATION:

So in one way it could 'try' to gain an electron as any element from halogen group (F-Cl-Br...) would do.
On the other hand it could lose its one electron, in which case it would belong to the alkali metals (Li-Na-K...).

In practice, H mostly shares its electron, either by covalent bonds, or by donating an electron and working together with H2O to form the H3O+or 'acid' ion.

In short, H is too special to to put it in a specific Group.

What do you think is the effect of acid rain on rusting ?
stich3 [128]
As acid rain is a mixture of pollutants and gasses. As rusting is a chemical reaction between oxygen and other gasses in the air alongside a material and a liquid. I would say they are both similar and that acid rain would speed the process of rusting/aid the process.

A 25.0 ml sample of water at 90 °c has a mass of 24.12 g. Calculate the density of water at this temperature.
ycow [4]

solution:

Density of water the density of water is greatest at about four degrees C (39.2° F or 277degrees Kelvin) which is a density of 1.000 kg per liter (62.4 pounds per cubic foot). Liquids expand slightly as their temperature is raised, but liquid water is denser than solid water (ice). That is why ice floats: it is less dense than liquid water. That is due to the crystal structure of ice. When water freezes, its volume increases about nine percent. 277 K. Density rho = mass m / Volume V. Water has a density of 1,000 kg/m3 = 1,000 g/L = 1.000 kg/dm3 = 1.000 kg/L = 1.000 g/cm3 = 1.000 g/mL at the temperature of 3.98 degrees Celsius. Temperature in degrees Celsius and the density of water: 1  

At 4 °C, its density is the greatest and is equal to 1000 kilograms per cubic meter (SI unit). At any other temperature, its density is less than 1000 kilograms per cubic meter. The answer "1.0" is wrong. Water is unique in that it is one of the only substances that actually expands and becomes less dense as the temperature increases. Water molecules (H 2 O) have a special shape and arrangement; this is why ice floats above the warmer water on a frozen lake. To convert grams/cm3 or grams/mL (1 cm 3 = 1 mL) into other units, use these conversions: 1 dry ounce = 28.349 grams 1 fluid ounce = 29.574 mL so to go from grams/cm 3 to dry ounces per fluid ounce, multiply by 0.9586.

Many ionic compounds form crystal structures. How and why does this happen?
lesantik [10]
Ions bound together by electrostatic attraction form ionic crystals. ... A simple cubic crystal lattice has ions equally spaced in 3D at 90° angles. Stability of ionic solids depends on lattice energy, which is released in the form of heat when two ions are brought together to form a solid.

Three metal spoons are on table. They are at room temperature. If the three spoons touch.
Alex
If the spoons touch, no heat will flow among the spoons because they are already in thermal equilibrium with each other. This is hinted by the statement "they are at room temperature" which means they all have the same temperature. Heat only flows when there is a difference in temperature.<span>
The answer will be </span><span>C. No heat will flow among the spoons
