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.

How many atoms are in 0.075 mol of titanium?
Annette [7]
The mass of titanium is = 47,867 g/1mol

Applying the rule of avrogado

1mol _______ 6,023 × 10^(23) at

0,075mol ___ x


X . 1mol = 0,075mol . 6,023 . 10^(23)at

X = 0,075 . 6,023 . 10^(23) at

X = 4,51 . 10^(22) atoms

Iron(II) sulfate, an iron supplement , FeSO4 Express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Molar mass = 151.9 g/mol

Explanation:

The molar mass of a compound is obtained by adding u the individual atomic masses in the compound. The unit is g/mol.

In FeSO4, we have one Fe, one S and 4 O.

The atomic masses are given as follows;

Fe = 55.845 u

S =  32.065 u

O = 15.999 u

Molar mass = ( 1 * Fe) + (1 * S) + (4 * O)

Molar mass = (1 * 55.854 ) + ( 1 * 32.065) + (4 * 15.999)

Molar mass = 151.915  g/mol

In four significant figures;

Molar mass = 151.9 g/mol
