Which element would you expect to be more metallic? (a) Ca or Rb (b) Mg or Ra (c) Br or I

Chemistry

svlad2 [7]4 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

When we move across a period from left to right then there will occur an increase in electronegativity and also there will occur an increase in non-metallic character of the elements.

As calcium (Ca) is a group 2A element and rubidium (Rb) is a group 1A element. Hence, Rb being an alkali metal is more metallic in nature than calcium (alkaline earth metal).

Both magnesium (Mg) and radium (Ra) are group 2A elements. And, when we move down a group then as the size of element increases so, it becomes easy of the metal atom to lose an electron.

As a result, there occurs an increase in metallic character of the element. Hence, Radium (Ra) is more metallic in nature than magnesium (Mg).

Also, both bromine and iodine are group 17 elements. Since, both of them are non-metals and non-metallic character increases on moving down the group.

Therefore, bromine (Br) is more metallic than iodine.

Does taking away an electron change the position on the periodic table?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Basically no it doesnt it stays the same it just means your adding more onto the atomic number and it keeps position

As the atomic number increases along a row of the periodic table, additional electrons are added to the same, outermost shell. The radius of this shell gradually contracts as the attraction between the additional electrons and the nucleus increases.

If 20 grams of zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid, how much zinc chloride is produced?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Assuming there is excess acid, the equation for the reaction is Zn + 2HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2.
Mols of zinc = 20/65 (mass/relative atomic mass)
Ratio of Zn : ZnCl2 = 1 : 1
Hence mols of Zinc = mols of Zinc chloride
Mass of ZnCl2 = (20/65)(65+71)
= 41.8g
