No. Sodium and Potassium are both alkali metals and electrolytes are almost equal. You need different electronegativities to make an ionic compound.

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.

fgiga [73]

Answer and Explanation:

a) The direction is shown in the cube diagram attached to this solution.

b) the angle between two planes (h₁, k₁, l₁) and (h₂, k₂, l₂) is given by the formula,

Cos Φ = (h₁h₂ + k₁k₂ + l₁)/√((h₁² + k₁² + l₁²)(h₂² + k₂² + l₂²))

For (111) and (112)

Cos Φ = (1.1 + 1.1 + 1.2)/√((1² + 1² + 1²)(1² + 1² + 2²))

Cos Φ = (1 + 1 + 2)/√((1+1+1)(1+1+4))

Cos Φ = 4/√(3×6)

Cos Φ = 4/√18

Φ = cos⁻¹ (4/√18) = 19.56°

c) equation 3.3 is missing from the question, I would be back to provide the answers to that as soon as the equation is provided!

Hope this Helps!!
