Answer:

Metals lose electrons to become cations.

Explanation:

For example, sodium loses an electron to become a sodium cation.

Na· ⟶ Na⁺ + e⁻

A is wrong. Nonmetals gain electrons to become anions.

___AsCl3+____H2S-->___As2S3+___HCI

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

2 AsCl₃ + 3 H₂S → As₂S₃ + 6 HCl

Explanation:

When we balance a chemical equation, what we are trying to do is to achieve the same number of atoms for each element on both sides of the arrow. On the right of the arrow is where we can find the products, while the reactants are found on the left of the arrow.

We usually balance O and H atoms last.

AsCl₃ + H₂S → As₂S₃ +HCl

reactants

As --- 1

Cl --- 3

H --- 2

S --- 1

products

As --- 2

Cl --- 1

H --- 1

S --- 3

2 AsCl₃ + H₂S → As₂S₃ +HCl

reactants

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 2

S --- 1

products

As --- 2

Cl --- 1

H --- 1

S --- 3

The number of As atoms is now balanced.

2 AsCl₃ + 3 H₂S → As₂S₃ +HCl

reactants

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 6

S --- 3

products

As --- 2

Cl --- 1

H --- 1

S --- 3

The number of S atoms is now equal on both sides.

2 AsCl₃ + 3 H₂S → As₂S₃ + 6 HCl

reactants

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 6

S --- 3

products

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 6

S --- 3

The equation is now balanced.

¿Cómo se escribe la fórmula molecular (orden de los iones)?

cluponka [151]

Answer:

A la izquierda el catión y a la derecha el anión.

Explanation:

¡Hola!

En este caso, y basado en las normas IUPAC para la escritura de las fórmulas moleculares, es necesario primero escribir el catión a la izquerda, seguido del anión a la derecha, tal y como se muestra en los siguientes ejemplos, recordando que el catión es el ion cargado positivamente y el anión, negativamente:

$K^+Cl^-\\\\Ag_2^+(SO_4)^{2-}$

Los cuales son cloruro de potasio y sulfato de plata respectivamente. También es necesario tener en cuenta que los metales tienden a ser cationes por su capacidad de perder electrones, mientras que los no metales a ganarlos y por ende resultar como aniones.

¡Un gusto ayudarte!
