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.

Copper (II) oxide can be heated until it decomposes into elemental copper and oxygen gas. Is 0.695 grams of Copper (II) oxide is
insens350 [35]

Answer:

0.55 g of Cu can produced by this decomposition

Explanation:

Let's think the reaction of decomposition:

2CuO → 2Cu + O₂

Ratio is 2:2. 2 moles of CuO can decompose into 2 moles of Cu and 1 mol of oxygen.

Let's convert the mass of oxyde to moles → 0.695 g. 1 mol/ 79.55 g =

8.74×10⁻³ moles

8.74×10⁻³ mol of CuO decompose to 8.74×10⁻³ moles of Cu

Let's find out the mass → 8.74×10⁻³ mol . 63.55 g/1mol = 0.55 g
