Which type of element typically loses an electron to become an ion?

Answer:

Metal

Explanation:

An atom in general is composed of a positive charged core with electrons that move around in quantized orbits. The electrons present in the outermost orbits are called valence electrons and it is these electrons that generally participate in chemical interactions. The valence electrons are bound to the nucleus by electrostatic forces of attraction. However, when an appropriate amount of energy is supplied these electrons can be released.

Metals are the elements that lose valence electrons easily and form positively charged ions called cations. The energy supplied is termed as the ionization energy. For example, sodium (Na) is an alkali earth metal with a valence electron configuration of 3s1. The one electron present in the outer 3s orbital can be ionized to form Na+ ion.

sergeinik [125]
<span>The type of map that shows the type and age of rocks in an area is called a Geologic Map. A geologic map is a special-purpose map that represents the distribution of diverse types of rocks, as well as locations of different geologic structures such as faults and folds. This map is the main source of information for various aspects of land-use planning, especially in the placement of transportation systems and buildings. Although they are typically depicted as two-dimensional, they can also be illustrated in its third or fourth dimension depending on the type of information needed to be taken. </span>

Classify each of the four compounds as a conjugated, isolated, or cumulated diene. Compound A: Two alkenes are joined by a sigma
Lina20 [59]

Explanation:

Conjugated diene is the one that contains alternate double bonds in its structure. That means both the double bonds are separated by a single bond.

Cumulated diene is the one that contains two double bonds on a single atom. This means it has two double bonds continuously.

Isolated double-bonded compound has a single bond isolated by two to three single bonds.

Compound A: Two alkenes are joined by a sigma bond.

For example:

-CH_2=CH-CH=CH2-

It is a conjugated diene.

Compound B: Two alkenes are joined by a C H 2 group.

It is a cumulative diene.

Compound C: Two alkenes are joined by C H 2 C H 2.

Then it is an isolated alkene.

Compound D:  A cyclohexene has a double bond between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 3 is an sp 2 carbon that is bonded to another s p 2 carbon with an alkyl substituent.

Hence, compound D is a conjugated diene.

Magnesium reacts with carbon dioxide to form magnesium oxide and pure solid carbon.
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

2Mg  + 2CO₂  →  2MgO  + C

Option a.

Explanation:

The chemical reactions are balanced in order to verify compliance with the Law of conservation of mass. This law states that in any chemical reaction, the mass of the reagents must be equal to the mass of the products

Which statements describe the law of conservation of charge? Check all that apply.
AlekseyPX
The statements in accordance with the law of conservation of charge are:
A. The total charge of the reactants and products must be equal
B. The net charge of an isolated system remains constant

Both of these statements follow the law of conservation of charge which states that charge may neither be created nor destroyed, due to which the total charge in an isolated system (one in which charge can not move in or out of) remains constant.
