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

Chemistry

svlad2 [7]3 years ago

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.

Protons and neutrons.

Note: They probably are ABOUT the same mass. Don't think they are exactly the same.

What is the oxidation number sulfur in H2S?
Nikolay [14]

The oxidation number sulfur in H₂S is -2.

A compound's total number of oxidations must be zero.

The two hydrogen atoms in the chemical hydrogen sulfide, H₂S, each have an oxidation number of +1, making a total of +2. As a result, the compound's sulfur has an oxidation number of -2, and the total number of oxidations is 0.

Assume that the sulfur atom in H₂S has an oxidation number of x.

S be x.

Now,

2+x=0

⇒x=−2

<h3>What is oxidation number?</h3>

The total number of electrons that an atom either receives or loses in order to create a chemical connection with another atom is known as the oxidation number, also known as the oxidation state.

Depending on whether we are taking into account the electronegativity of the atoms or not, these phrases can occasionally have a distinct meaning. Coordination chemistry commonly makes use of the phrase "oxidation number."

<h3>What distinguishes an oxidation number from an oxidation state?</h3>

In contrast to the oxidation state, which indicates how oxidised an atom is in a molecule, the oxidation number describes the charge that the core metal atom will retain once all ligands have been removed.

In the city a street peddler offers you a diamond ring for 30 bucks how can you test the rock
larisa86 [58]

Explanation:

Hardness test — Scratch the rock with a fingernail, a copper penny, a glass plate or nail, and a ceramic plate. Check your Guide to assign it a rating on the Mohs Scale of Hardness.

Color streak test — Test for the “color streak” of the minerals by rubbing the rock across the ceramic plate in the Mineral Test Kit, or across smooth

cement. Look up which colors indicate which minerals are present.

Magnetism test — Hold the magnet in the Mineral Test Kit near your rock. If there is a magnetic pull, it has a metal mineral in it.

Acidity test — Put vinegar in the bottle included in the Mineral Test Kit. Squeeze out a few drops on the rock. If it fizzes, it contains carbonate.

A quick and easy way to find out whether your diamond is real or fake: try fogging it up with your breath. If it clears up after one or two seconds, then your diamond is real, but if it stays fogged for three to four seconds chances are that you're looking at a fake.
