The answer is: K is more reactive than Ca because K has to lose only one electron to complete its outermost shell.
Potassium is a chemical element with atomic number 19 (number of electrons is 19).
Electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉K 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.
Potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.
Periodic law is the arrangement of the elements in order of increasing atomic number.
For example all alkaline metals (I group of periodic table, Na, K, Cs...) loose one electron in chemical reaction and react vigorously with water.
Reactivity series is an empirical progression of a series of metals, arranged by their reactivity from highest to lowest (alkaline metals have highest reactivity and Noble metals lowest reactivity).
The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).
Alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron, earth alkaline metals (right next to alkaline metals) have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons.
Answer:
∆H = negative and ∆S = positive.
Explanation:
The reaction given in the question is spontaneous at room temperature ,
hence ,
The the gibbs free energy , i.e. ,∆G will be negative for spontaneous reaction
According to the formula ,
∆G = ∆H -T∆S
The value of ∆G can be negative , if ∆H has a negative value and ∆S has a positive value , because , T∆S , has a negative sign .
Hence , the answer will be , ∆H = negative and ∆S = positive.
Answer and Explanation:
Because metallic bonding involves delocalized electrons. It is described as a "<em>sea of electrons</em>", because the electrons are not confined around the nucleus of metal atoms, but they are delocalized: thay can be located in one nucleus and then in another neighbor atom. Thus, the electrons have more freedom to move from one part of the metal to another and electricity is well conducted.
True. The prototype is usually the "rough draft" the figure out what needs fixed or upgraded before they make the final product "final draft". Hope that helped!
