Cations are formed by losing electrons in the valence shell of atoms. There are more protons than electron ions making the atom more positive.

An anion has <em><u>gained electrons</u></em> and therefore has more electrons than protons. It has a negative charge.

An example if this doesn't make too much sense.

Charged Atoms: If electrons are removed from an atom, that atom becomes positively charged because it has more positive charge carriers (protons) than negative charge carriers (electrons)

These types of charged atoms are called positive ions or, cations. DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES, the removed electrons can remain free or they may attach themselves to another atom that can accept extra electrons. If this occurs, a negatively charged ion, or anion, is created.

I hope I made this clear enough for anyone who needed help on this. Hope this helps!!! Have a great day :)))

What is the maximum amount of kcl that can dissolve in 200g of water?

Likurg_2 [28]

The solubility of potassium chloride in at room temperature is approximately 34 g per 100 g of water. Therefore, the maximum amount that could be dissolved would be 34/100 ( 200) = 68 g of KCl. When more than this amount is added, excess potassium would not dissolve forming crystals in the solution.

Left to Right

<u>Chemistry</u>

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

Using Dimensional Analysis
Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

8.63 × 10³ atoms Li

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

Set up: $\displaystyle 8.63 \cdot 10^3 \ atoms \ Li(\frac{1 \ mol \ Li}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ Li})$
Multiply/Divide: $\displaystyle 1.43355 \cdot 10^{-20} \ moles \ Li$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

1.43355 × 10⁻²⁰ mol Li ≈ 1.43 × 10⁻²⁰ mol Li

A 12.2-g sample of x reacts with a sample of y to form 78.9 g of xy. what is the mass of y that reacted?

Sonja [21]

We will assume that the only reactants are x and y and that the only product is xy.

Based on the law of mass conservation, mass is an isolated system that can neither be created nor destroyed.

Applying this concept to the chemical reaction, we will find that the total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products,
therefore:
mass of x + mass of y = mass of xy
12.2 + mass of y = 78.9
mass of y = 78.9 - 12.2 = 66.7 grams

Based on the equations below, which metal is the least active? Pb(NO3)2(aq) + Ni (s) --> Ni(NO3)2 (aq)+ Pb(s) Pb(NO3)2(aq) +

viva [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

An active metal is a highly reactive metal. Active metals are found high up in the activity series.

Active metals react with other metals that are lower than them in the activity thereby displacing the lower metals from a solution of their salts. This is what may have happened in the other two reactions.

Ni is the most active metal listed in the question since it can react a compounds with Pb(NO3)2(aq) to liberate Pb metal.
