Lanthanide belongs to period 6, and actinides belongs to period 7
Matter is the basic unit of every thing in the world, whether living or nonliving. So, it is logical to set definitions and postulates because these could pave way to other complexities of science. It is the foundation of science. That is why theories and laws are formulated for matter such as: Kinetic Theory of Matter, Dalton's Atomic Model, Newton's Law of Motion, Conservation Laws and many more.
Answer:
1. How do metals and non-metals react with acids?
Ans : Non metals does not react with acids while metals react with acids and produce hydrogen gas that burns with a 'pop'sound.
2. Write and explain the chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium with sulphuric acid and aluminium with hydrochloric acid.
Magnesium + sulphuric acid = Hydrogen + salt
Mg(s) + H2SO4 (aq) MgSO 4(aq) +H2 (g)
Aluminium + Hydrochloric acid = Hydrogen + Aluminium chloride
2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)→2AlCl3(aq)+3H2(g)
The first option is the correct.
Since we know the mass of one atom of Fe is 56 and that of Cl2 atoms is 71 (one atom has 35.5 mass) hence both of them will be consumed
