Answer:

Chemical Reaction

Explanation:

Copper is a transitional metal, meaning it is much more stable chemically than potassium. Potassium is considered an Alkaline Earth metal meaning it is very unstable and reacts violently. I'm not sure how in depth you have to go but this is just the surface of the explanation.

Describe the nucleus of the<br> atom.
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The nucleus of atom is composed of two subatomic particles that each have charges.

  • Protons, which are positively charged particles.
  • Neutrons, which are neutrally charged particles.

Both reside in the nucleus of an atom. The amount of protons and neutrons (Electrons can to) is what helps us identify each atom apart. Electrons are NOT in the nucleus of atom but orbit it in outer layers called orbitals.

Explain why the benzene molecule usually reacts with electrophiles<br>​
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Explanation:Because of the delocalised electrons exposed above and below the plane of the rest of the molecule, benzene is obviously going to be highly attractive to electrophiles - species which seek after electron rich areas in other molecules.
