The answer is A. A mole of Cu has the same number of atoms as a mole of He atoms
The correct answer is a metal atom forms a cation, and a nonmetal atom forms an anion. This is because metals are less electronegative than nonmetals and will therefore give electrons to nonmetals. Atoms that give up electrons will have a positive charge therefore becoming a cation while atoms that accept electrons will have a negative charge therefore becoming an anion.
Ions that have the same charge can't be attracted to each other since it takes a positive and negative charge to cause attractive forces.
A less electronegative atom will transfer electrons to a more electronegative atom.
A metal (cation) can pull electrons from another metal (not an ion) but that does not form an attractive force between the two metals (You will learn more about this when you go over reduction potentials, redox reactions, and electrochemistry).
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
Answer:
This process naturally occurs in the environment, where it is carried out by specialized bacteria.
Explanation:
Answer:
All substances can be characterized by their unique sets of physical and chemical properties. Properties that can be determined without changing the composition of a substance are referred to as physical properties. Characteristics such as melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, color, odor, etc.
Answer:
1) 1,... 2
2) 18
3) n= 3 and I=1
Explanation:
1) when l= 0, its an s-sub-level, and only 1 orbital is possible which can carry only 2-electrons
2) the maximum number of electron is given by 2n^2= 2×3^2= 18
3) in 3p, the coefficient of p is the value of n= 3 and l-value of P is 1
