The answer is: K is more reactive than Ca because K has to lose only one electron to complete its outermost shell.

Potassium is a chemical element with atomic number 19 (number of electrons is 19).

Electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉K 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

Potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

Periodic law is the arrangement of the elements in order of increasing atomic number.

For example all alkaline metals (I group of periodic table, Na, K, Cs...) loose one electron in chemical reaction and react vigorously with water.

Reactivity series is an empirical progression of a series of metals, arranged by their reactivity from highest to lowest (alkaline metals have highest reactivity and Noble metals lowest reactivity).

The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).

Alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron, earth alkaline metals (right next to alkaline metals) have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons.

When electrons are filling energy levels, the lowest energy sublevels are occupied first. This is ____________.
Nimfa-mama [501]

When electrons are filling energy levels, the lowest energy sublevels are occupied first. This is Hund's rule.

Hund's rules state that:

Every orbital in a sublevel has to be singularly occupied before any other orbital is able to be doubly occupied.

All of the electrons in single occupied orbitals have to have the same spin to maximize the total spin.

The distance between the centers of the two oxygen atoms in an oxygen molecule is 1.21 x 10-8 cm. What is this distance in inche
Sergio [31]

Answer:

d=4.75\times 10^{-9}\ \text{inches}

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between the centers of the two oxygen atoms in an oxygen molecule is 1.21\times 10^{-8}\ cm.

We need to convert this distance in inches.

We know that,

1 cm = 0.393 inches

We can solve it as follows :

1.21\times 10^{-8}\ cm=0.393\times 1.21\times 10^{-8}\\\\=4.75\times 10^{-9}\ \text{inches}

So, the distance between the centers of the two oxygen atoms is 4.75\times 10^{-9}\ \text{inches}.
