You can know the metal with low reactivity and the metal with high reactivity from the periodic table, as in metals the Chemical reactivity increases by going down a group, because of the farther down group we go the easier of lose and gain of electrons or the easier the electrons to be given or taken, this caused the chemical reactivity be higher.
- and the chemical reactivity decreases as we go across the period because they want to give away valence electrons, they need more energy to get rid of them.
Explanation:
In this reaction, the reactants are Li and N2. The product is Li3N
So we have;
Li + N2 → Li3N
Upon balancing, we have;
6Li + N2 → 2 Li3N
The sum of the coefficients is 6 + 1 + 2 = 9
Ionic bonds is formed between metal and nonmetal with opposite charges. Metal have (+) charge and nonmetals often have (-) charge.
Choice (a) is wrong because both charges are the same.
Choice (c) is wrong b/c same changes.
Si and O do not have charges for now. (d) is wrong.
Choice (b) is correct. Opposite charges and the ionic compound is BaCl2
The wall would absorb extra heat during the day when the sun is out, then release the heat back into the room when the sun goes down.
