An element x atomic number 16 reacts with an element Y atomic number 20 to form a compound

Chemistry
1 answer:
tekilochka [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Element x has an atomic number of 16, it is sulphur.

Element Y has an atomic number of 20, it is calcium.

i) Sulphur is in Group VI, period 3 in the modern periodic table,

whereas calcium is in Group II, period 4 of the modern periodic table.

ii) Ionic bonds will form between them. This is because metals and non-metals (Cacium and sulphur) usually form ionic compounds where between the ions are held by ionic bonds (which are transferred electrons so that both elements can attain a stable status).

iii) CaS

each Calcium atom can lose 2 electrons to attain 8 outermost shell electrons, while each sulphur atom can gain the 2 electrons to attain 8 outermost shell electrons, where they will most be stable (octet). Hence, the atomic ratio of Ca and S is 1:1.

How does the periodic table make it easier for the scientist to work with and study elements
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The periodic table has gone through many changes since Dmitri Mendeleev drew up its original design in 1869, yet both the first table and the modern periodic table are important for the same reason: The periodic table organizes elements according to similar properties so you can tell the characteristics of an element just by looking at its location on the table

Explanation:

hope it helps you

2. How do chemical reactions involve energy?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:Chemical reactions often involve changes in energy due to the breaking and formation of bonds. Reactions in which energy is released are exothermic reactions, while those that take in heat energy are endothermic. exothermicA description of a chemical reaction that releases heat energy to its surroundings.

How many hydrogen atoms are attached to each carbon adjacent to a double bond? nurition?
larisa [96]
That depends. there are 2 possible answers.
      H
C - C = C - H gives a different answer on the right than on the left.

One the left side, the second Carbon is attached to a double bond and has but one hydrogen attached to it.

The Carbon on the right of the double bond has 2
     H
C- C = C - H
            H

I'm not sure what you should put. It's one of those things that I would repeat my argument and submit it.
