Do metals form are anions or cations?

Chemistry

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.

An aluminum block has a density of 2.70 g/mL. If the mass of the block is 24.60 g, find the volume of the substance.
harina [27]

Volume of a substance can be determined by dividing mass of the substance by its density.

That can be mathematical shown as:

Density=Mass/Volume

So, Volume=Mass/Density

Here mass of the substance given as 24.60 g

Whereas density of the substance is 2.70 g/mL

So,

Volume=Mass/Density

=24.6/2.7

=9.1 mL

So volume of the substance is 9.1 mL.

Summarize the relationship between an electron's energy level and its location in an atom
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The further an electron is from the nucleus. the greater its energy level.

Explanation:

When an electron is close to the nucleus, it is at as low an energy level as it can get.

We must put energy into an electron to pull it away from the attraction of a nucleus.

So, electrons that are further from the nucleus are at higher energy levels.

A pound of margarine costs $1.39. What is the cost of a kilogram of margarine
den301095 [7]

Answer:

              3.064 $

Solution:

First of all we will find the number of pounds contained by one Kg. Therefore, it is found that,

                                    1 Kilogram  = 2.20462 Pounds

Hence, as given,

                        1 Pound of Margarine costs  =  1.39 Dollars

So,

                  2.20462 Pounds Margarine will cost  =  X Dollars

Solving for X,

                     X  =  (2.20462 Pounds × 1.39 Dollars) ÷ 1 Pound

                     X =  3.064 Dollars

A solution is prepared by dissolving 0.23 mol of benzoic acid and 0.27 mol of sodium benzoate in water sufficient to yield 1.00
Monica [59]

Answer:

The pH does not decrease drastically because the NaOH reacts with the <u>D) Benzoic acid</u> present in the buffer solution.

Explanation:

The hydroxide ions will react with acidic part of the solutions, it means the benzoic acid, so it will form the conjugate base, the benzoate ion.
