Answer:

Explanation:

Nickel has an atomic number of 28 meaning that it contains 28 protons in its nucleus. It would need 28 electrons in order to have no charge, because the positive and negative charges balance each other out. Since this atom of Ni has 26 electrons, it has lost 2 of its electrons, and therefore has a positive charge of 2.

Reika [66]

Answer: 2. cannot be an element.

Explanation:

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper $Cu$

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: methane $CH_4$

$CH_4\rightarrow C+2H_2$

Thus as it can be decomposed into its constituent elements, it is a compound.

Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present.

Thus methane cannot be an element.

A sample of krypton gas in a container of volume 1.90 L exerts a pressure of 0.553 atm at 21 Celsius. How many moles of gas are

NeTakaya

Explanation:

pv = nRT

n= PV/RT

n =0.553×1.90/0.0821×294

n=1.0507/24.1374

n=0.0435mol

Define electronegativity. Where on the periodic table is the highest? Explain why this is the case.

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom to attract the electrons when the atom is part of a compound. Electronegativity values generally increase from left to right across the periodic table. The highest electronegativity value is for fluorine.
