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
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.

1. 90.0 mL of distilled water is added to a 10.0mL sample of 0.150mol/L sodium
aniked [119]

Answer: dilute

Explanation:

A concentrated solution which is used to prepare solutions of lower concentrations by diluting it with addition of water.

A dilute solution is one which contains lower concentration.

Using Molarity equation:

M_1 =concentration of stock solution = 0.150 mol/L

V_1 = volume of stock solution = 10.0 ml

M_2 = concentration of dilute solution = ?

V_2 = volume of dilute solution = (10.0+90.0) ml = 100.0 ml

0.150\times 10.0=M_2\times 100.0

M_2=0.015mol/L

As the concentration is less than the original concentration, the solution is termed as dilute.

calcium has atomic number of 20 how many electrons of a calcium atom are involved in chemical bonding
Lelu [443]

The answer is 2 electrons.


The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2

Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements.  Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.

Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known  as an ionic compound.

For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas,   calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.
