Each column is called a group. The elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital. Those outer electrons are also called valence electrons.

Precipitation reactions always occur when two aqueous solutions are mixed (T/F)

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Precipitation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which two aqueous solution upon mixing together results in the formation of an insoluble solid.

For example, $NaCl(aq) + AgNO_{3} \rightarrow NaNO_{3}(aq) + AgCl(s)$

Here AgCl is present in solid state so, it is the precipitate.

But it is not necessarily true that two aqueous solutions will always result in the formation of a precipitate.

For example, $NaCl(aq) + KNO_{3}(aq) \rightarrow KCl(aq) + NaNO_{3}(aq)$

Hence, we can conclude that the statement precipitation reactions always occur when two aqueous solutions are mixed, is false.

How do the differences in the polyatomic ions po3 3- and po4 3- help you determine whether each ends in -ite or -ate?

Tcecarenko [31]

There is a rule in naming polyatomic anions containing oxygen. Those names ending in –ate are given to the most common oxyanion of an element. While those names ending in –ite are for those that contains fewer O atom for the same charge. Since P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ has fewer O atoms, its name ends in –ite. Thus, P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ is phosphite while P $PO_{4} ^{3-}$ is phosphate.
