Do metals form are anions or cations?

Chemistry
1 answer:
goldfiish [28.3K]3 years ago

Answer: Metals form cations.

The alkali metals (the IA elements) lose a single electron to form a cation with a 1+ charge.

The alkaline earth metals (IIA elements) lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation.

Aluminum, a member of the IIIA family, loses three electrons to form a 3+ cation.

Therefore, metals in the s and p block of the periodic table have 1, 2 or 3 electrons in their outermost orbit (or valence shell). Now to gain a stable octet metals lose either 1, 2 or 3 electrons from the valence shell thus forming cation with +1, +2 or +3 charge.

What is the empirical formula of a compound composed of 3.25% hydrogen ( H ), 19.36% carbon ( C ), and 77.39% oxygen ( O ) by ma
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The answer to your question is C₂HO₃

Explanation:

Data

Hydrogen = 3.25%

Carbon = 19.36%

Oxygen = 77.39%

Process

1.- Write the percent as grams

Hydrogen = 3.25 g

Carbon = 19.36 g

Oxygen = 77.39 g

2.- Convert the grams to moles

                     1 g of H ----------------- 1 mol

                   3,25 g of H -------------  x

                     x = (3.25 x 1) / 1

                     x = 3.25 moles

                    12 g of C ---------------- 1 mol

                     19.36 g of C ----------  x

                     x = (19.36 x 1) / 12

                     x = 1.61 moles

                     16g of O --------------- 1 mol

                     77.39 g of O ---------  x

                      x = (77.39 x 1)/16

                      x = 4.83

3.- Divide by the lowest number of moles

Carbon = 3.25/1.61 = 2

Hydrogen = 1.61/1.61 = 1

Oxygen = 4.83/1.61 = 3

4.- Write the empirical formula

                        C₂HO₃

What is 1 major discovery in cosmology that relies on improvement in existing apparatus?
never [62]
The most dramatic astronomical development of the century thus far is the detection of gravitational waves from merging black holes at a distance of 400 Mpc, during the first science run of the advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory.

The telescope was also very important. Galileo Galilei was the first person to use a telescope to look at celestial bodies (though he did not invent the telescope) and discovered the four brightest moons of Jupiter, proving that there are things in the Solar System that don't revolve around the Sun.

Physical cosmology is the branch of physics and astrophysics that deals with the study of the physical origins and evolution of the Universe. It also includes the study of the nature of the Universe on a large scale. In its earliest form, it was what is now known as "celestial mechanics", the study of the heavens.

Hope this helps you :)
