The elements in the periodice table are not listed in alphabetical order, because the arragement in rows (periods) and columns (groups or familes), in increasing order of atomic number (number of protons of the atoms) permits to explain similarities among the elements, trend in some properties, and even predict properties of unknown elements.
For example, the elements of the first group (family), called alkaline metals, all have 1 valence electron, have similar physical properties (ductibility, malleability, luster, thermal and electricity conductivity), react in similar way with water, show a trend in the atomic radii and in the ionization energy.
You can tell similar stories for other groups like, alkalyne earth metals, halogens and noble gases.
You can also tell trends in electroneativities, and atomic radii, for a row of elements, as per the order they are in the row.
So, the current array resulted very helpul for chemists to explain and predict the behavior and properties of the elements.
Answer:
I think it's the second answer --If you increase the acidity..
I hope answer I can answer your question!
I 90% sure that it would be supersaturated
#1: The element that loses electrons in a chemical reaction is said to have been which of the following?
A. reduced
B. oxidized
C. combusted
D. rusted
**idk, is it reduced or oxidized??
Answer: oxidized. The element that loses electrons increases its oxidation number (becomes more positve or less negative) and this is oxidation.
Which type of reaction occurs if one element gains electrons and another loses electrons?
A. combustion
B. synthesis
C. oxidation-reduction
D. double-displacement
**my answer: C
Yes, oxidation-reduction
#3: What is the oxidation number for phosphorus in H4P2O7?
A. +5
B. +3
C. +1
D. - 1
**my answer: A. +5
This is the way to calculate it 4(+1) + 2x + 7(-2) = 0 => x = +5
#4: What is the oxidation number for phosphorus in Na2HPO3?
A. +5
B. +3
C. +1
D. - 1
**my answer; B. +3
is that right??
Right
2(+1) + 1 + x + 3(-2) = 0 => x = 6 -1 -2 = 3 (positive)
