Chemistry

Wittaler [7]3 years ago

The student was not successful.

Consider the standard reduction potentials.

Li⁺ + e⁻ ⇌ Li;                       E° = -3.04 V

2H₂O + 2e⁻ ⇌ H₂ + 2OH⁻; E° = -0.83 V

To reduce Li⁺ to Li, the student must apply 3.04 V.

However, it takes only 0.83 V to reduce water to hydrogen.

Thus, the student will get H₂ instead of Li.

For metalloids on the periodic table, how do the group number and the period number relate?
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer : The correct option is A.

Explanation :

Metalloid : Metaloids are the elements whose properties lie between the metals and non-metals.

There are six commonly elements which are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium. The rare elements are polonium and astatine.

The relation between the group number and period number of metalloid is that the lower the group number, the lower the period numbers and the metalloids are found in a diagonal moving down from left to right in the periodic table.

koban [17]

Answer:

C.) Alpha, beta, and gamma particles

Explanation:

A dense shield of aluminium can protect Cole from all the listed types of radiation produced from the radioactive particles.

A radioactive protector has very unique and specie ability to contain and prevent the movement of radiations of any types from going into the body.

The strongest and most penetrating radiations are the gamma rays. Any material that can prevent the movement of these rays can halt alpha and beta particles too.

An aluminium shield is made up of multiple layers of aluminium stacked together and it provides enough resistance.

Definition of proton and example
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

An elementary particle that is identical with the nucleus of the hydrogen atom, that along with the neutron is a constituent of all other atomic nuclei, that carries a positive charge numerically equal to the charge of an electron.

Example:

The nucleus of a hydrogen atom or the H+ ion is an example of a proton. Regardless of the isotope, each atom of hydrogen has 1 proton; each helium atom contains 2 protons; each lithium atom contains 3 protons and so on.
