Answer:
a single-replacement reaction replaces one element for another in a compound. A double-replacement reaction exchanges the cations, or the anions, of two ionic compounds.
Answer:
Explanation:
A. The charge on an element is determined by the differences between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.
An atom will have no charges if the number of protons and electrons are the same.
- When an atom loses or gains electrons, the number of electrons will either decrease or increase
- if the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the excess electrons is the charge on the atom. And this makes the atom become a negatively charged ion.
- if the number of electrons is lesser than the number of protons, the deficient electrons makes the atom a positively charged ion. The number of electrons by which the atom is deficient makes the atom a positively charged ion.
Charge = number of protons - number of electrons
B. Electrons form the charges they do because with the charge, they become stable like the noble gases.
The desire of every atom is to have stable electronic configuration like those of the noble gases.
A potassium atom with a configuration 2 8 8 1 will prefer to lose an electron to become an Argon atom making the ion stable.
Explanation:
Mg+O>MgO
Here the mg loses it electron and is oxidised and oxygen gains and is reduced.
Mg(2+)and O(2-)
Mg is a reducing agent it makes oxygen to be reduced while itself being oxidised and vice versa.
Answer:
Some of the physical changes used by the industrial chemist in order to identify it is by scratching it with other metals in order to find the hardness of it. Trying to deform it in order to find the malleability, and to heat it and measure the temperature in order to find the melting point.
Some of the chemical changes used by the industrial chemist in order to identify it is by inserting it in water to observe that whether it reacts with it or not, if the reaction is violent, then the metal belongs to either group I or group II. The other method is to insert it in acids of distinct strength and to observe its reaction. The metals belonging to the second group react briskly with acids. The other metals react gradually with acids and others are almost inert.
There are many properties to substances.
I'll list some examples below:
- Mass
- Volume
- Density
- Conductivity
- Malleability
- Boiling point
- Melting point
- Heat capacity
Hope this helps! :3
