Fluorine since it is a halogen (non-metal), then it would need to bond with a metal in order to form an ionic bond.

Fluorine would therefore need an element from any of the metal groups to bond with in order to form an ionic compound e.g. Group One (Sodium or Lithium) or Group Two (Magnesium or Calcium) or Group Three (Aluminum) or a Transitional metal (Copper or Vanadium).

Choose all that apply. What tools do scientists use to make decisions when employing reasoning skills?

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

B, (logic) D (knowledge)

Explanation:

Problem solving refers to the ability to figure out an answer to a question. The question can be general, such as how to design an experiment, or it can be more specific, such as how to calculate speed (its distance divided by time). Reasoning is closely related to problem solving. When scientists reason, they use logic and knowledge to make conclusions and decisions. The processes of reasoning and problem solving are usually more educational than the answer. Figuring something out is a wonderful workout for your brain.

Which substance is the oxidizing agent in the following reaction? Fe2S3 + 12HNO3 → 2Fe(NO3)3 + 3S + 6NO2 + 6H2O Which substance

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

HNO3 is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

Step 1:

The oxidizing agent is responsible to oxidize another. but itself undergoes a reduction .

Fe2S3:

Fe has an oxidation number of +3

S has an oxidation number of -2

HNO3:

O has an oxidation number of -2 ( we have 3 times O so this makes -6)

H has an oxidation number of +1

N has an oxidation number of +5

Fe(NO3)3

O has an oxidation number of -2 ( we have 3 times O so this makes -6)

Fe has an oxidation number of +3

Since NO3 has an oxidation number of -1; N has an oxidation number of +5

S alone has an oxidation number of 0

NO2:

O has an oxidation number of -2 (we have 2 times O, this makes -4)

N has an oxidation number of +4

Fe doesn't change from oxidation number. It stays +3

N goes from +5 to +4 → this is a reduction

S goes from -2 to 0 → this is an oxidation

The reducing agent is the compound that contributes the oxidized species (S).

The oxidizing agent contributes the reducing species (N)

The answer is HNO3

Explain why CaCl2 is likely to have properties similar to those of CaBr2

qaws [65]

Answer:

Because both CaCl2 and CaBr2 both contain elements (Chlorine and Bromine) from the same group (group 7)

Explanation:

Elements are placed into different groups in the periodic table. Elements in the same group are those that have the same number of valence electrons in their outermost shell and as a result will behave similar chemically i.e. will react with other elements in the same manner.

Chlorine and Bromine are two elements belonging to group 7 of the periodic table. They are called HALOGENS and they have seven valence electrons in their outermost shell. Hence, when they form a compound with Calcium, a group two element, these compounds (CaCl2 and CaBr2) will possess similar properties because they have elements that are from the same group (halogen group).
