Explanation:
A synthesis reaction: It is defined as a kind of reaction where one and more than one reactant attached and creates an individual product.
The formation of the water is an example of a synthesis reaction because here more than one reactants combine and create a single product (water). Water formation occurs when 2 hydrogens and an oxygen share electrons through covalent bonds.
2H + O ----> H2O.
If you would’ve attached a picture I’m sure it would’ve been a lot easier.
6+2=115 and its good it took test
Mg gained mass because it went from being a single element (on the reactant side) to being a molecule (on the product side).
Answer:
Option-B (Carbon and Silicon)
Explanation:
Among the given pairs only carbon and silicon have the most similar properties. This is because,
Sodium and Magnesium belong to different groups. Sodium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Magnesium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.
Example:
2 Na + Cl₂ → NaCl
Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂
As shown in reactions when Sodium and Magnesium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.
Carbon and Silicon show almost same properties because both belong to Group IV hence both are capable of forming four bonds. Also, they share the same property of self linkage in making a long chains.
Argon and Chlorine also belong to two different groups. Argon is present in Group VIII (Noble Gases) and Chlorine is present in Group VII (Halogens). Hence, Argon is an inert specie which is non reactive while Chlorine gives different reaction easily.
Potassium and Calcium belong to different groups. Potassium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Calcium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.
Example:
2 K + Cl₂ → KCl
Ca + Cl₂ → CaCl₂
As shown in reactions when Potassium and Calcium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.
