Answer: I believe this is the answer: The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior. All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties. The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called periods.
Good luck on assignment! :)
Answer:
magnesium + hydrochloric acid → hydrogen gas + magnesium chloride
explanation:
the nitrogen in HNO3 is in the +5 oxidation state and is easily reduced. The reduction would result in the oxidation of the hydrogen gas, forming the water once again.The sulfur in H2SO4 is also in its highest oxidation state, +6.
<em>Hope</em><em> this</em><em> helps</em><em> </em><em>:</em><em>)</em>
Answer:
HNO3 is a potent acid, a base, a nitrating agent and a heavy oxidising agent at times. In the presence of a stronger acid, it serves as a base.

Answer:
Lewis structure of polyatomic formate anion.
Explanation:
To draw Lewis structure for any chemical species,
1)Count the total number of valence electrons present in it.
This can be obtained by adding valence electrons of each constituent atom.
2)Arrange those valence electrons in such a way that each atom should attain eight electrons around it to satisfy octet theory.
The structure of formate ion and its Lewis structure are shown below:
HCOO- is the formate ion.
It has total:
1+4+6+6+1 = 18 valence electrons.
Since, hydrogen has one, carbon has four and oxygen has six valence electrons and the charge of the anion is one.
Arrange this 18 electrons in such a way that each atom should get 8 electrons around it.
