Answer:
Fluorine is a <em>non-metal, fills its shell by gaining one electron </em>and<em> becomes a negatively charged ion.</em>
Explanation:
Fluorine have seven electrons in its outermost shell. This means that fluorine is located in Group 17(<em>Halogens</em>) in the Periodic Table. Note that halogens are non-metal elements. So fluorine is a non-metal.
Fluorine fills its shell by gaining one electron because it only needs one electron to achieve stable octet electron arrangement. ( it's easier to gain one electron than to lose all seven electrons in the outermost shell)
As fluorine atom gain one electron to achieve stable octet electron arrangement, its number of electrons becomes greater than its number of protons. So it becomes a negatively charged ion.
<h2>Answer : Option C) Joseph is observing the color of the reaction mixture to see whether proteins are present in the given solution.</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>
An example of qualitative observation is the one where one uses the five senses to identify the changes in the reaction.
Here, when Joseph is studying a reaction mixture he is trying to observe a color change which will confirm that there is proteins present in the reaction mixture or not If there is a color change observed then it will confirm the presence of proteins.
Usually qualitative observations are those which can be easily predicted by using five senses.
Answer:
N₂O₅ + H₂O --> 2HNO₃
This reaction is a combination reaction
Explanation:
I find that making a table is an easy way to balance a table. The table would be something like this:
Reactants (left) Products (right)
N = 2 N = 1
O = 6 O = 3
H = 2 H = 1
The number next the symbol represents how many of atoms of that particular element are present.
The aim is to make the number of atoms of each element on the left side to be equal to the number of atoms of each element on the right side. As we can see, there are 1 more nitrogen than on the right, 3 more oxygen than on the right and 1 more hydrogen than on the left.
So to make the numbers of atoms of each element on right equal to the number of atoms of each element on the left, we have to add a number. This number CANNOT be a subscript number because that would change the reaction.
We can add a 2 in front of the product (this is because there are less atoms in the right side of the equation).
N₂O₅ + H₂O --> 2HNO₃
This means there are now two HNO₃ molecules so every atom in this molecule is basically multiplied by 2. So 1 nitrogen atom becomes two (1 × 2 = 2), 3 oxygen atoms become 6 (3 × 2 = 6) and 1 hydrogen atom becomes 2 (1 × 2 = 2). If we were to make a table again with the following equation - N₂O₅ + H₂O --> 2HNO₃, the table would be as so:
Reactants (left) Products (right)
N = 2 N = 2
O = 6 O = 6
H = 2 H = 2
Now the equation is balanced as we can see the number each type of atom is the same on the right and left side.
