What is the sea of instability

Chemistry
2 answers:
LiRa [457]3 years ago
6 0
The "sea of instability" refers to a region of elements on the periodic table that are highly unstable. These elements have extremely short half-lives that may be measured in micro- or nanoseconds. (A nanosecond is the time it takes for light to travel one foot.) This region of unstable elements surrounds the island of stability.

explain using diagrams how potassium forms the compound potassium flouride when it reacts with flourine
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below.

Explanation:

Potassium (K) has 19 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8, 1.

Fluorine (F) has 9 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 7.

Fluorine needs 1 electron to complete it's octet configuration.

Hence, potassium (K), will lose 1 electron to fluorine (F) to form potassium ion (K+) with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8. The fluorine atom (F) will receive the 1 electron from potassium to form the fluoride ion (F-) with electronic configuration of 2, 8.

A certain compound was found to have the molecular formula C5H12O2. To which of the following compound classes could the compoun
IgorC [24]

Answer : The given compound belongs to ether and alcohol.

Explanation :

The chemical formula of the given compound is, C_5H_{12}O_2

First we have to calculate the degree of unsaturation.

Formula used:

Degree of unsaturation = \frac{2C+2+N-X-H}{2}

where,

C = number of carbon

H = number of hydrogen

N = number of nitrogen

X = number of halogen

Degree of unsaturation = \frac{2\times 5+2+0-0-12}{2}=0

The degree of unsaturation is, 0 that means there is no double or triple bond in the compound only single bond is present between the atoms.

Thus, the given compound belongs to ether and alcohol.
