Answer:

The elements on the left-side of the periodic table are relatively electron deficient. So due to their comparatively low effective nuclear charges (the net positive charge of the protons minus the shielding core electrons below the valence level), their electrostatic hold on these electrons are weak.

Elements further right on the period table though, have higher effective nuclear charges and stabilize electrons more effectively. Which leads to localized covalent bonding and the formation of molecules.

The right side contains non metals while the left side contains metals.

Metals lose electrons (negative electrons). They now have more protons, therefore making the ion positive.

Non metals gain electrons (positive electrons). So the ion has more electrons than protons which makes the ion negative.

Suggest two observations that would be made when rubidium is added to cold water.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

1. Rubidium metal reacts very rapidly with water to form a colorless basic solution of rubidium hydroxide (RbOH) and hydrogen gas (H2).

2. Rubidium sinks because it is less dense than water. It reacts violently and immediately, with everything leaving the container. Rubidium hydroxide solution and hydrogen are formed.

How does a negative ion differ from a positive?

Ilya [14]

A negative ion or anion is an electrically charged atom or group of atoms that are formed by gaining one or more electrons. Whereas a positive ion or cation is an electrically charged atom or group of atoms that are formed by losing one or more electrons.
The losing and gaining all occurs on the outermost shell.

G determine the concentration of an hbr solution if a 45.00 ml aliquot of the solution yields 0.6485 g agbr when added to a solu

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The molecular weight of silver bromide (AgBr) is 187.77 g/mole. The presence of the ions in solution can be shown as- AgBr (insoluble) ⇄ $Ag^{+}$ + $Br^{-1}$ .

45.00 mL of the aliquot contains 0.6485 g of AgBr. Thus 1000 mL of the aliquot contains $\frac{0.6485}{45}$ ×1000 = 14.411 gm-mole. Thus the solubility product $K_{sp}$ of AgBr = [ $Ag^{+}$ ]× $Br^{-}$ .
