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.

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravity pulls the balls down the ramp, and the force of gravity is bigger on larger-mass objects. The extra force on the bigger ball means that it has more energy when it gets to the bottom of the ramp and consequently travels more before stopping.

My homework said"Solve using the standard algorithm. Check your quotient and remainder by using multiplication and addition."
Harman [31]
84 divided by 2 = 42.

2 goes into 8 four times, so there would be your 4.
 Then 2 goes into 2 one time, and there would be your 2.

You check your answer by multiplying 42 by 2, which would give you, 84.

Answer:

7.5 moles of O₂.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2KClO₃ —> 2KCl + 3O₂

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of KClO₃ decomposed to produce 3 moles of O₂.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of O₂ produced by the decomposition of 5 moles of KClO₃. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of KClO₃ decomposed to produce 3 moles of O₂.

Therefore, 5 moles of KClO₃ will decompose to produce = (5 × 3)/ 2 = 7.5 moles of O₂.

Thus, 7.5 moles of O₂ were obtained from the reaction.
