Answer:
Elements with low ionization energies.
Explanation:
The ionization energy of an atom reffers to the amount of energy that is required to remove an electron from the gaseous form of that atom or ion.
The greater the ionization energy, the more difficult it is to remove an electron. The ionization energybis one of the indicator that shows the reactivity of an element. Elements with a low ionization energy such as metals are usually reffered to as a reducing agents and form cations, this give metals the tendency to
give away their valence electrons when bonding, whereas non-metals tend to take electrons.
Metallic elements have different properties such as shiny, heat and electricity conductivity . They are malleable and ductile Some metals, such as sodium, are soft and can be cut with a knife. while some are very hard such as iron.
Balancing means there are equal amount of molecules on each side, both reactant and products. This is a method I like to do.
Under, I count how many molecules are in each side.
Cr2O3+Mg -->Cr + MgO
Cr: 2 1
O: 3 1
Mg: 1 1
Let's guess and make the number of oxygens equal on both sides.
Cr2O3+Mg -->Cr + 3MgO
Cr: 2 1
O: 3 3 EQUAL
Mg: 1 3
See what we did there? We multiplied the MgO on the products side by 3 so we can have 3 oxygens. Now let's multiply the Mg on the reactants by three so Mg AND O can be equal.
Cr2O3+3Mg -->Cr + 3 MgO
Cr: 2 1
O: 3 3 EQUAL
Mg: 3 3 EQUAL
Finally, we just need to multiply the loner Cr in the products side by two to make it equal for all elements.
Cr2O3+3Mg -->2Cr + 3 MgO
<h2>Let us solve for it </h2>
Explanation:
Magnesium oxide
- It is MgO
- Its molecular mass is : 24 +16=40 g
- When MgO decomposes it forms = 3.54 g of oxygen gas
- when 40 g of MgO decomposes it forms = 16g of oxygen
- or we can say that :
- 16g of oxygen is produced when 40 g of MgO is decomposed .
- 1g of oxygen will be formed from =40/16g of MgO
- 3.54 g of oxygen will be formed = 40/16 x 3.54 =8.85g of MgO
<h3>Answer:</h3>
Curium-247 <em>i.e.</em> ²⁴⁷₉₆Cm
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Alpha decay is given by following general equation,
ᵃₓA → ⁴₂He + ᵃ⁻⁴ₓ₋₂B
Where;
A = Parent Isotope
B = Daughter Isotope
ᵃ = Mass Number
ₓ = Atomic Number
Californium-251 is the parent isotope in our case and it has 98 protons (atomic number) and is given as,
²⁵¹₉₈Cf
The alpha decay reaction of Californium-251 will be as,
²⁵¹₉₈Cf → ⁴₂He + ²⁴⁷₉₆B
The symbol for B with atomic number 96 was found to be the atom of Curium (Cm) by inspecting periodic table. Hence, the final equation is as follow,
²⁵¹₉₈Cf → ⁴₂He + ²⁴⁷₉₆Cm
