Members of which group easily lose an electron to form a +1 cation?

The alkali metals, which occupy group 1 of the periodic table. This is because the valence shells of these elements have only 1 electron, so easily form an ionic bond with a non-metal compound by donating this. A cation is formed by this donation, since there is one fewer electron orbiting the nucleus than there is in the atomic form - conversely an anion is formed when an atom gains an extra electron to become negatively charged.

Answer:

Option A.

2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, we shall do a head count of the number of atoms present on both side to see which of them is balanced. This is illustrated below below:

For Option A:

2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na

4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H

2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O

Thus, the above equation is balanced.

For Option B:

2Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na

4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 3 H

2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O

Thus, the above equation is not balanced.

For Option C:

2Na + H2O —> 2NaOH + H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na

2 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H

1 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O

Thus, the above equation is not balanced.

For Option D:

Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + 2H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

1 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na

4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 5 H

2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O

Thus, the above equation is not balanced.

From the illustrations made above, only option A is balanced.

IRINA_888 [86]
The rows in the top third - This group consists of elements like Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium on the right and Chlorine, Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen on the left.
Sodium and Chlorine are components of salt, a very important compound of our blood, essential for transferring electrical signals from the brain to the rest of the body and vice versa. Calcium is the building block of our bones, while Magnesium and potassium ensure proper functioning of our organs.

Calculate the molarity of a solution that contains 0.250 moles of kf in 0.500 l of water
MakcuM [25]
Molarity can be defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution.

M = n/V

Where M is the molarity of the solution (M or mol/L), n is the moles of the solute (mol) and V is the volume of the solution (L).

Here, solute is KF.

n = <span>0.250 mol
</span>V = 0.500 L
M = ?

By applying the formula,
   M = 0.250 mol / 0.500 L
   M = 0.500 mol/L

Hence, the molarity of KF solution is 0.500 mol/L.

The octane number of gasoline is a measure of octane activity. The octane activity is determined by comparing the engine perform
Semmy [17]

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

The octane number is determined by comparing the characteristics of gasoline to isooctane (2,2,4-trimethylpentane) and heptane. The correct option is option A.

Basically, the higher the octane  number, the  greater the resistance of the gasoline to knocking.
