Answer:
a) will react with water: K
b) will react with steam or acid, but not water: Cr & Sn
d) will not react with water, steam, or acid: Cu
Explanation:
K reacts violently with water.
Cr will react with steam to form an oxide + H gas and will react with most acids
Sn will react with steam to form SnO₂ + H gas and, though it does not react as rapidly as other metals in acid, it dissolves easily in concentrated acids
Cu is an extremely nonreactive metal, which is what makes it so suitable for wiring
Answer:
One triple bond and four non bonding electrons
Explanation:
In considering the lewis structure of carbon monoxide, we must remember that the molecule contains a total of ten valence electrons. Four are the valence electrons that are present on the valence shell of carbon while six are the valence electrons on oxygen. Some of these valence electrons participate in bonding in the CO molecule.
Out of the six valence electrons on oxygen, two valence electrons participate in bonding with carbon while the other four electrons remain localized on the oxygen atom as two lone pairs of electrons.
Hence there are four nonbonding electrons in the lewis structure of CO as well as one triple bond.
Answer:
a.
can be made up of a combination of different elements.
Answer:
it would go back to being deflated
The number 16 next to the elemental symbol of Nitrogen
which is N indicates the mass number of the element. Now the atomic number of N
is 7, this is also equal to the number of protons or electrons in the nucleus. So
the balance is 16 – 7 = 9 which is being occupied by the neutrons. Therefore
the number of neutrons is:
