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

Chemistry
1 answer:
vaieri [72.5K]3 years ago
4 0
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.

Explain the importance of carbon's ability to form covalent bonds in straight chains, branched chains, or rings.
viktelen [127]
Carbon is the element at the heart of all organic compounds, and it is such a versatile element because of its ability to form straight chains, branched chains, and rings. Because these chains and rings can have all sorts of different functional groups in all sorts of different ways (giving the compond all sorts of different physical and chemical properties), carbon's ability to form the backbone of these large structures is critial to the existence of most chemical compounds known to man. Above all, the organic molecules crucial to the biochemical systems that govern living organisms depend on carbon compounds.

Help needed Assignment is due Justify that H2SO4 is Arrhenius acid and KOH is Arrhenius base.
irakobra [83]

Answer:

<u><em>Arrhenius Acid:</em></u>

According to Arrhenius concept, Acids are proton donors.

Since H₂SO₄ have a proton (H⁺ ion) and it can donate it to be made a sulphate ion, So it is an Arrhenius acid.

See the following reaction =>

<u><em>H₂SO₄ + H₂O => HSO₄ + H₃O⁺</em></u>

<u><em>Arrhenius Base:</em></u>

An Arrhenius base is a a proton acceptor.

KOH accepts the proton to to made to KOH₂ and a proton acceptor.

See the following reaction =>

<u><em>KOH + H₂o => KOH₂ + OH⁻</em></u>

Elemental calcium reacts with water at room temperature to form calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas as shown in this equation. So
dem82 [27]
Reaction of Elemental Calcium with Water is as follow,

                        Ca  +  2 H₂O    →    Ca(OH)₂  +  H₂↑

When Sodium Metal is reacted with Water it produces NaOH and eliminates Hydrogen gas as shown in following equation,

                         2 Na  +  2 H₂O    →    2 NaOH  +  H₂↑

In both cases corresponding Hydroxides along with Hydrogen gas is produced.
