Answer:

An atom containing 11 electrons

Explanation:

Metal atoms form ions by a loss of electrons whereas non-metal atoms form ions by the gain of electrons.

The group 1 elements or alkali metals form lose their one valence shell electrons when forming ions; Group 2 metals lose two while Group 3 lose three. On the other hand, non-metal atoms found in Group 5, 6, and 7 forms ions by gaining one, two and three electrons respectively.

Using the electronic configuration of atoms, their groups in the Periodic Table can be determined.

An atom containing 6 electrons has the configuration 2,4 and thus belongs to Group 4.

An atom with 2 electrons belongs to Group 2

An atom with 11 electrons has the configuration 2,8,1 and thus belongs to Group 1

An atom with 10 electrons has the configuration 2,8 and thus belongs to Group 8

An atom with 8 electrons has the configuration 2,6 and thus belongs to Group 6.

From the above, it can be seen that an atom containing 11 electrons belongs to Group 1 and will lose an electron to form an ion.

What letter on the model titration curve corresponds to the point where ph equals the numerical value of pka for hpr? what speci
irakobra [83]

Letter C on the model titration curve corresponds to the point where pH equals the numerical value of pKa for HPr

<h3>What is a titration curve?</h3>

A titration curve is a graph of the pH of a solution against increasing volumes of an acid or a base that is added to the solution.

The pH of a solution is the negative logarithm to base ten of the hydrogen ion concentration and is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the solution.

The pKa is the acid dissociation constant of an acid solution.

In a titration of a strong acid and strong base, the pH at equivalence point is equal to the pKa of the acid.

The equivalence point is the point when equal moles of acids and base has reacted.

In the given titration curve, pH = pKa at point C.

In conclusion, for a titration curve of strong acid and base, at equivalence point, pH is equal to pKa of acid.
