Why isn't hydrogen considered an alkali metal ?

2 answers:

7 0

Hydrogen is a non-metal, it is one of the two elements on the periodic table that only need two valence electrons to be stable. Hydrogen doesn't share many properties with the other Alkali Metals. It has a much higher electronegativity, doesn't form ionic bonds, doesn't react with the same things that the other elements in group one do (like water.) The only reason hydrogen is place there is because it has one valence electrons like all the other alkali metals and there is not where else to place hydrogen, because it doesn't really fit in with any group.

<span>Hydrogen isn't classified as an alkali metal because it exhibits several properties that are not found in the alkali metal group, including the tendency to be found as a diatomic molecule, a tendency to form weak bonds with other bound hydrogen atoms nearby, weak electromagnetism, a low activity series placement, and the tendency to be found as a gas. Because of all this, it's impossible to classify it with any group, although it does seem to be closest to nonmetals.</span>

CO2 + H2O + C6H12O6 +02

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

6CO2+6H2O->C6H12O6+6O2

Explanation:

CO2+H2O+C6H12O6+O2 This wrong when you write a formula. Don't savage the given question. caused it will affect the same answer.

It will write as this CO2+H20->C6H12O6+O2

So, Think what will you use the numbers in a side of chemical formula/name I am using the "eyes to eyes "caused you need to it properly. If you are not good at it use other method calculate each chemical name example. we have C=1,O=2 then, H=2,O=1 and they other side goes to the arrow is C=6 H=12O=6 ,O=2 I will think what number will make it balance for them and what is lucking see in the my answers what I add in the equation think carefully I didn't change or erase a number of them. Caused it is wrong if you do that. Thank you

A 10-gram sample of zinc loses 560 J of heat and has a final temperature of 100

grandymaker [24]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Initial temperature is 243.59°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The quantity of heat is calculated by multiplying the mass of a substance by its specific heat capacity and change in temperature.

That is; Q = m×c×ΔT

In this case;

Quantity of heat = 560 J

Mass of the Sample of Zinc = 10 g

Final temperature = 100°C

We are required to determine the initial temperature;

This can be done by replacing the known variables in the formula of finding quantity of heat,

Specific heat capacity, c, of Zinc = 0.39 J/g.°C

Therefore,

560 J = 10 g × 0.39 J/g°C × ΔT

ΔT = 560 J ÷ (3.9 J/°C)

= 143.59°C

But, since the sample of Zinc lost heat then the temperature change will have a negative value.

ΔT = -143.59°C

Then,

ΔT = T(final) - T(initial)

Therefore,

T(initial) = T(final) - ΔT

= 100°C - (-143.59°C)

= 243.59°C

Hence, the initial temperature of zinc sample is 243.59°C

56. What would be the valence electrons of 14Si, 16S, 32Ge respectively?

Leokris [45]

Answer: D. 4,6,4

Explanation:

The valence electron is the electron found in the outermost shell of an atom, and participates in bond formation.

For the following element, the valence electron can be noticed when we write the electronic configuration of each element.

Silicon = 1s2 2s2 2P6 3s2 3p2

Sulphur = 1s2 2s2 2P6 3s2 3p4

Germanium = 1s2 2s2 2P6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p2
