Which of the following pairs of elements could possibly be in the same group? X has a 1+ ion; Y has a 1- ion. X tends to form a

2+ ion; Y tends to gain two electrons. X will tend to gain one electron; Y has eight valence electrons. X has an atomic number 15; Y forms a 3- ion.

Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.

Answer is: X has an atomic number 15; Y forms a 3- ion.

1)  X has a 1+ ion; Y has a 1- ion is not correct, because X is probably metal (lost one electron, group 1) and Y is nonmetal (gain one electron, group 17).

2) X tends to form a 2+ ion; Y tends to gain two electrons is not correct, because X lost two electrons (probably metal from group 2).

3) X will tend to gain one electron; Y has eight valence electrons is not correct, because X is probably from group 17 and Y is noble gas (group 18).

4) Y is phosphorus (atomic number 15, group 15) and Y is nonmetal from group 15.

What is the concentration of a sodium hydroxide solution if 14.5 mL of it are exactly neutralized by 30.0 mL of a 0.500 M hydroc
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

1.03 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

NaOH + HCl ⇒ NaCl + H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the reacting moles of HCl

30.0 mL (0.0300 L) of 0.500 M HCl react.

0.0300 L × 0.500 mol/L = 0.0150 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of NaOH that react with 0.0150 moles of HCl

The molar ratio of NaOH to HCl is 1:1. The moles of NaOH that react are 1/1 × 0.0150 mol = 0.0150 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the molar concentration of NaOH

0.0150 moles of NaOH are in 14.5 mL (0.0145 L).

M = 0.0150 mol/0.0145 L = 1.03 M

URGENT!!! A solution in which there is very little solute dissolved in a solvent.
ella [17]

Answer:

Is called a diluted solution

Explanation:

Having little solute makes the dissolving process in a large amount of solvent very easy to mix therefore it dilutes in the solvent

A new stable element with an atomic number of 120 and an atomic mass of 246 is created in a particle accelerator. Enough of this
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Be,Mg,Ra etc

Explanation:

It should be palced in group 2A because as it reacts with chlorine in ratio of 1:2 . It's valancy is 2 and is metal as it react with non metal donating two electrons .

one more thing it fits there orderly
