In rubidium oxide - Rb₂O , the ions are Rb⁺ and O²⁻
Rb is a group one element with one valence electron. To become stable it loses its outer electron to gain a complete outer shell.
Electronic configuration of Rb is - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶ 5s¹
Once it loses its valence electron the configuration is;
- 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶
The noble gas with this configuration is Krypton - Kr
Oxygen electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁴
Once it gains 2 electrons the configuration is - 1s² 2s² 3p⁶
The noble gas with this configuration is Neon - Ne
Answer:
the physical and chemical properties of the products are different from the reactants
Explanation:
A chemical reaction involves the chemical combination of two or more elements/compounds called Reactants to give one or more different elements/compounds called Products. A chemical reaction occurs in such a way that the atoms of the reactants are restructured to form product(s) that is/are entirely different from the reactants.
In a chemical reaction, the physical and chemical properties of the products differ from that of the reactants since different chemical compounds/elements are formed as products. The physical properties of a substance, which include colour, melting and boiling point etc. will differ in the reactants and products formed. Also, the chemical structure and identity of the reactants will be changed to give rise to a different chemical property in the products.
<u>Answer:</u> The element represented by M is Strontium.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let us consider the molar mass of metal be 'x'.
The molar mass of MO will be = Molar mass of oxygen + Molar mass of metal = (16 + x)g/mol
It is given in the question that 15.44% of oxygen is present in metal oxide. So, the equation becomes:
The metal atom having molar mass as 87.62/mol is Strontium.
Hence, the element represented by M is Strontium.
