The elements in the periodice table are not listed in alphabetical order, because the arragement in rows (periods) and columns (groups or familes), in increasing order of atomic number (number of protons of the atoms) permits to explain similarities among the elements, trend in some properties, and even predict properties of unknown elements.
For example, the elements of the first group (family), called alkaline metals, all have 1 valence electron, have similar physical properties (ductibility, malleability, luster, thermal and electricity conductivity), react in similar way with water, show a trend in the atomic radii and in the ionization energy.
You can tell similar stories for other groups like, alkalyne earth metals, halogens and noble gases.
You can also tell trends in electroneativities, and atomic radii, for a row of elements, as per the order they are in the row.
So, the current array resulted very helpul for chemists to explain and predict the behavior and properties of the elements.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Look on the x-axis for the tick marked "60". This indicates 60 degrees Celsius, which we want. Now, look on the y-axis for the tick marked "60". This indicates 60 grams of
. Trace along the graph to find where these two places meet at (60, 60).
Now, look for the solubility curve of
; it's the yellow-orange line. Find out what the y-coordinate of the point where x = 60 is on the line: it's around (60, 65).
So, since the point (60, 60) is below the line corresponding to this substance,
is unsaturated.
The answer is B.
Answer:
Carbonation. When you think of carbonation, think carbon
Oxidation. Oxygen causes oxidation.
Hydration. This isn't the hydration used in your body, but it's similar.
Explanation:
Answer: Cations (positively-charged ions) and anions (negatively-charged ions) are formed when a metal loses electrons, and a nonmetal gains those electrons. The electrostatic attraction between the positives and negatives brings the particles together and creates an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride.
