Explanation:
Cations are positively charged ions with fewer electrons than protons. To partake in reaction, metals lose electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. It has lost valence electrons and wold have a positive charge associated with it.
Potassium is a group 1 element. A metal.
Potassium has 1 valence electron so it loses the valence electron to form a stable octet.
A potassium ion has a positive charge and therefore cannot be an anion but is a cation.
The group number pretty much denotes the number of valence electrons.
Group 1 = 1
Group 2 = 2
Group 17 = 7
Group 18 = 8
Answer:
"Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of a number of gases that are transparent to the visible light falling on the Earth from the Sun, but absorb the infra-red radiation (heat) emitted by the warm surface of the Earth, preventing its loss into space. During the geological history of the Earth the level of atmospheric CO2 has varied considerably and this has had an impact on the global temperature. A significant amount of this atmospheric carbon was sequestered or (removed from the atmosphere) and turned into inert material (coal, and oil) typically 300-360 Million years ago. All of the global ecosystems and species have adapted to a lower level of atmospheric CO2 and critically, human civilisation has also grown since that period. Since the industrial revolution humans have been burning sequestered CO2 in the form of coal, oil, and natural gas which has the result of releasing energy but also releases CO2 back into the atmosphere".
Answer:
grapefruit juice is an acid
Explanation:
A piece of neutral litmus paper turned red in some grapefruit juice. What does this show about the grapefruit juice
with litmus paper remember:
E R
S E
ACID
BLUE
acids turn litmus red, bases turn it blue
all citrus fruits :llemons, lime, grapefruit, oranges, etc are called
CITRUS FRUITS because they contain citric acid
The balanced equation for the ionization of the weak base pyridine,C5H5N in water, H2O
C_5H_5N ( aq.) + H2O ( l) ---------> C5H5NH+ (aq.) + OH- (aq.)
<h3>What is the balanced equation for the ionization?</h3>
Generally, Pyridine is characterized by a ring structure, in this characteristic ring structure N is sp2 hybridized, hence creating a lone pair present on N so s - character is more, as well as lone pair, is present.
Therefore, Considering The following functions of the equation:weak base pyridine,C5H5N in water, H2O
We write the balanced equation for the ionization as
C_5H_5N ( aq.) + H2O ( l) ---------> C5H5NH+ (aq.) + OH- (aq.)
