Answer:

Rb is an alkali metal.

Explanation:

The elements characterized by having a single electron in its outermost orbital (s) are called alkali metals or simply alkaline metals.

Due to the presence of this electron, they are chemically very reactive because they have a tendency to lose this electron. In other words, their high reactivity is due to the fact that they form chemical bonds with many types of substances and elements and do so easily. This is due to its high electronegativity.

Like all metals, they are very good thermal and electrical conductors. But in comparison, alkali metals are soft and have a low melting point due to their metallic bond. This link is quite weak because it is the external electrons that are responsible for the bond and in these metals there is only one electron per atom.

The alkali metals are located in group 1 of the periodic table and are: lithium (Li), sodium(Na), potassium(K), rubidium(Rb), cesium(Cs) and francium(Fr).

Two isotopes of lithium are found in nature Li6 has a mass of 6. 02u and Li7 has a mass of 7.02u . Use the atomic weight of lith
alexandr402 [8]

The isotope that is more abundant, given the data is isotope Li7

<h3>Assumption</h3>
  • Let Li6 be isotope A
  • Let Li7 be isotope B

<h3>How to determine whiche isotope is more abundant</h3>
  • Molar mass of isotope A (Li6) = 6.02 u
  • Molar mass of isotope B (Li7) = 7.02 u
  • Atomic mass of lithium = 6.94 u
  • Abundance of A = A%
  • Abundance of B = (100 - A)%

Atomic mass = [(mass of A × A%) / 100] + [(mass of B × B%) / 100]

6.94 = [(6.02 × A%) / 100] + [(7.02 × (100 - A)) / 100]

6.94 = [6.02A% / 100] + [702 - 7.02A% / 100]

6.94 = [6.02A% + 702 - 7.02A%] / 100

Cross multiply

6.02A% + 702 - 7.02A% = 6.94 × 100

6.02A% + 702 - 7.02A% = 694

Collect like terms

6.02A% - 7.02A% = 694 - 702

-A% = -8

A% = 8%

Thus,

Abundance of B = (100 - A)%

Abundance of B = (100 - 8)%

Abundance of B = 92%

SUMMARY

  • Abundance of A (Li6) = 8%
  • Abundance of B (Li7) = 92%

From the above, isotope Li7 is more abundant.

Sophie [7]
The independent variable would be the variable in the research that is being manipulated by the researcher. In this case, it would be temperature in the cage as it is what is being manipulated and changed in the research design. The dependent variable would be the variable that is being studied so, for this case, it would be the length and the weight of the mice. The constants are the factors that might affect the dependent variable but is held constant or the same by the researcher throughout the experiment. These are the size of the cage, amount of food and the exercise wheel. The flaw that the scientist would be studying the length of the mice since I don't think the temperature has any effect on it. And base from he results, the change in lengths are not conclusive.

calcium has atomic number of 20 how many electrons of a calcium atom are involved in chemical bonding
Lelu [443]

The answer is 2 electrons.


The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2

Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements.  Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.

Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known  as an ionic compound.

For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas,   calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.
