Answer:

2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons

Explanation:

An atom of a certain element reacts with the atoms of other elements in order to fullfill its outermost shell (called valence shell).

We notice the following:

- The elements in Group 1 (which are metals) have only 1 electron in their valence shell

- The elements in Group 17 (which are non-metals) have 1 vacancy (lack of electron) in their valence shell

This means that in order for both an atom of group 1 and an atom of group 17 to fullfill the valence shell, they have to:

- The atom in group 1 has to give away its only electron of the valence shell

- The atom in group 17 has to gain one electron in order to fullfill the shell

Therefore, the correct option is

2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons

Consider the chemical reaction in equilibrium.
icang [17]
The correct option is A.
The chemical equation given above is an endothermic reaction. An endothermic reaction is a type of reaction which absorb heat from the environment. An endothermic reaction needs heat to occur, therefore, increasing the temperature of such a reaction will favor the formation of more product and the equilibrium of the reaction will shift [forward] to the right, which is the product side.

Which statement about enzymes is true?
Lelechka [254]

statement about enzymes that is correct is

b. they are large molecules that increase the rate of biologically important reactions

Enzymes are proteins that catalyse, in other words increase the rate of the biological reactions.

Biological functions that are vital for the bodies to survive, have large activation energy barriers. For this reason enzymes are used that reduce the activation energy required for the reaction to initiate. this enables the reactions to proceed.

Substrates bind to the enzyme, reaction occurs and substrate converts to products, that are released from the enzyme, leaving the enzyme unchanged.

so the correct answer is B.

Calcium chloride contains calcium and chloride ions. Write the ground-state electron configuration for the calcium ion.
Drupady [299]

Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

Explanation:

Calcium is the 20th element. It has 20 electrons in it's neutral state. The electronic configuration is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2

However in the compound; calcium chloride, it does not exist in it's neutral state.

CaCl2 --> Ca2+   +   Cl-

In Ca2+ state, it has lost two electrons, The total number of electrons becomes; 20 - 2 = 18 electrons.

The electronic configuration is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
