What do Potassium and Krypton have in common and what are their differences based on their location on the periodic table?

1 answer:

8 0

Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same period, so they have the same number of electron shells. Potassium is more reactive than Krypton because it only has one valence electron.

K and Kr are both in Period 4, so they each have the n = 1, 2, 3, and 4 shells. Kr is less reactive than K because it already has a complete octet.

“Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same period, so they have the same number of electron shells. Krypton is more reactive than Potassium because it has a full outer shell” is incorrect because having a full outer shell means that the element is unreactive.

“Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same group, so they have the same number of valence electrons. They have different numbers of electron shells” is incorrect for three reasons:

1. K is in Group 1 and Kr is in Group 18.

2. K has one valence electron, and Kr has eight valence electrons.

3. They have the same number of electron shells.

1. K and Kr have different numbers of valence electrons.

2. They have the same number of electron shells.

Based on your knowledge of intermolecular forces, which of the following would you expect to have the highest boiling point?

Galina-37 [17]

Answer is: d). 1-propanol. Because between two molecules of 1-propanol can for form hydrogen bond, between hydrogen and oxygen in hydroxy group.

1) Chemical formula for propanal is CH₃-CH₂-CH=O. Propanal is a saturated three carbon aldehyde (have a carbonyl center).
2) Chemical formula for propane is CH₃-CH₂-CH₃. Propane is a three carbon alkane (acyclic saturated hydrocarbon).
3) Chemical formula for propanone is (CH₃)₂-C=O. Propanone or acetone is he simplest and smallest ketone.
4) Chemical formula for propanol is CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-OH. 1-propanol is a primary alcohol.
Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (H), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (F), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms.

When does heat naturally move from cooler objects to warmer objects

Blizzard [7]

Conduction occurs when two object at different temperatures are in contact with each other. Heat flows from the warmer to the cooler object until they are both at the same temperature. Conduction is the movement of heat through a substance by the collision of molecules. At the place where the two object touch, the faster-moving molecules of the warmer object collide with the slower moving molecules of the cooler object.
