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.

Covalent bond of N and S

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Covalent bond between identical atoms

Covalent bonds occur between identical atoms or between different atoms whose difference in electronegativity is insufficient to allow transfer of electrons to form ions. ... The two hydrogen atoms are attracted to the same pair of electrons in the covalent bond.

4. If the DNA nitrogen bases were TACCGGAT, how would the other half of

Illusion [34]

Answer:

ATGGCCTA

Explanation:

For this we have to keep in mind that we have a specific relationship between the nitrogen bases:

-) When we have a T (thymine) we will have a bond with A (adenine) and viceversa.

-) When we have C (Cytosine) we will have a bond with G (Guanine) and viceversa.

Therefore if we have: TACCGGAT. We have to put the corresponding nitrogen base, so:

TACCGGAT

ATGGCCTA

According to the following reaction, how many grams of nitrogen monoxide will be formed upon the complete reaction of 31.0 grams

Mumz [18]

23.227 grams of NO is formed upon the complete reaction of 31.0 grams of oxygen gas with excess ammonia.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

4NH3 + 5O2 ⇒ 4NO + 6H20

Number of moles will be calculated.

31 grams of oxygen is given

atomic weight of oxygen gas i.e O2 = 32gm/mole

The molar mass of oxygen gas is 32 grams/mole which is equal to one mole of the molecule.

Number of moles (n) = $\frac{mass}{atomic mass of one mole of the substance}$

n= $\frac{31}{32}$

n = 0.968 moles of oxygen are given for the reaction to occur.

From the balanced chemical equation it can be seen

5 moles of oxygen yielded 4 moles of NO

So, 0.968 moles of oxygen yield x moles of NO

$\frac{4}{5}$ = $\frac{x}{0.968 }$

4 × 0.968 =5x

x = 0.774 moles of NO will be formed.

To calculate the mass of NO

mass= atomic mass x number of moles

atomic mass of NO is 30.01 grams/mole

putting the values in the formula:

mass = 30.01 x 0.774

= 23.227 grams of NO is formed.
