A low electronegativity

Explanation:

Potassium is a metal that is expected to have a very low electronegativity value.

Electronegativity is the relative tendency by which an atom attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.

Potassium is an element in the first group on the periodic table.

The common trend is that electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases down a group.

  • Potassium as metal will prefer to lose electrons rather than attracting because that will make it achieve the octet configuration that will ensure its stability.
  • This is why it will have low electronegativity.

How many moles are in 75.0 grams of nitrogen gas, N2?
Westkost [7]

<u>Given:</u><u>                                                                                                                       </u>

Mass of Nitrogen (N₂) gas = 75 grams

<u>Finding the number of moles of N₂:</u><u>                                                                     </u>

We know that the molar mass of N₂ is 28 grams/mole

Number of moles = Given mass / Molar mass

Number of moles = 75 / 28

Number of moles = 2.68 moles

Hence, there are 2.68 moles in 75 grams of Nitrogen Gas
