Answer:
Six electrons are transferred in the formation of Al₂O₃.
Explanation:
Aluminium metal and Oxygen react to form Al₂O₃ as,
2 Al + 3/2 O₂ → Al₂O₃
Oxidation number of Al on left hand side is zero, while than on right hand side in Al₂O₃ is +3. Means it has lost 3 electrons per one atom and six electrons per two atoms. Also, the oxidation number of O at left hand side in O₂ is zero, while that in Al₂O₃ it is -2 per atom and -6 per 3 atoms.
So, two Al atoms have lost 6 electrons and 3 O atoms have gained six electrons.
Answer: K and Na
Explanation:
Potassium and Sodium have a chemical symbol of K and Na respectively.
They have similar chemical properties because both
- have only one valence electron,
- form univalent positive ion when they donate their lone outermost electron as shown below
Na --> Na+ + e-
K --> K+ + e-
- are good reducing agents
- react with cold water vigorously to liberate hydrogen gas and form alkalis, so they are known as alkali metals.
- K and Na are placed in Group 1 of the periodic table.
Thus, unlike the other pairs given, K and Na, have the most similar chemical properties
Answer:
Graphite is insoluble in water and organic solvents - for the same reason that diamond is insoluble. Attractions between solvent molecules and carbon atoms will never be strong enough to overcome the strong covalent bonds in graphite. conducts electricity.
