Why are alkali metals more reactive than alkaline earth metals?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Neko [114]3 years ago

A: It takes more energy to remove two valence electrons from an atom than one valence electron. This makes alkaline Earth metals with their two valence electrons less reactive than alkali metals with their one valence electron.

Phosphorus has an atomic mass of 31 and an atomic number of 15, so the number of neutrons must be _______________.
Nikitich [7]
Remember this:

atomic mass= atomic number + number of neutrons 

The atomic number (same thing as number of protons) in this case is 15. The atomic mass is 31. 

So, we subtract 15 from 31 to find the number of neutrons.

31-15=16 

16 neutrons!!!

5. You have two sealed jars of water at the same temperature. In the first jar there is a large amount of water. In the second j
Aneli [31]
The vapor pressure of the two jars are the same.

The volume of water inside the container does not change the vapor pressure.

As long as the liquid remains being water and the temperature does not change the vapor pressure will be the same. The vapor pressure depends only in the nature of the substance and the temperature of the system.
If you want to know more about this, i.e. why, here you have additional explanation:

The vapor pressure is the pressure of the vapor of a substance in equilibrium with the substance in liquid (or solid state) and it is due to the fact that some molecules in the liquid (or solid), those that are close to the surface of liquid in contact with the gas phase and that have enough kinetic energy, evaporate.

At equilibrium the number of molecules passing from the liquid state to the gas state is equal to the number of molecules that pass from the gas state to the liquid state.  If the volume of liquid is increased or decreased, as long as the temperaature of the system remains constant the equilibrium is reached again with the same vapor pressure.
