Answer:

A. They must be kept separate from moisture and oxygen

Explanation:

Alkali metals refers to a group of chemical elements in the periodic table. It is the common name given to Group 1 elements (excluding hydrogen). They are generally metallic in nature with physical properties like shining lustre, silvery in appearance etc. Alkali metals include lithium, Pottasium, Sodium, Rubidium etc.

One important chemical property of alkali metals is their high reactivity i.e. they tend to react quickly with other substances. For example, alkali metals react vigorously with water to form hydroxides. They also react with oxygen to form oxides. Due to this highly reactive properties, they are kept or stored away from moisture (water) and oxygen (present in air).

Why do atoms tend to be bonded to other atoms?
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Atoms are often more stable when bonded to other atoms

Explanation:

Like for example let's say ionic bonds..... Since one atom has to lose specific electrons to be stable and the other needs the electrons from the other atom to be stable.....

What is the oh−concentration and ph in each solution? (a) 0.225 m koh, (b) 0.0015 m sr(oh)2?
shepuryov [24]
Q1)
We have been given the OH⁻ concentration, therefore we first need to find the pOH value and then the pH value.
pOH = -log [OH⁻]
pOH = -log (0.225 M)
pOH =  0.65
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - 0.65 = 13.35

Q2)
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
pOH = -log (0.0015 M)
pOH = 2.82
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - 2.82 
pH = 11.18

If one benzene molecule is placed in water, the total entropy of the water + benzene system:___________
valkas [14]

Answer:

d) increases

Explanation:

Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon which is obtained from the destructive distillation of coal. It is a colourless volatile liquid with a sweet smell. It boils ar 80° C (353 K) and freezes at 5°C (2278 K). It is insoluble in water but mixes in all proportions with ethanol, ethoxyethane and methylbenzene. The reason which benzene is insoluble in water is that benzene is a non-polar compound and water is polar, meanwhile only "like dissolves like". So, when the benzene molecule is placed in water. There will be distortion and disturbance between the benzene molecule and the water. Thus, the particle of each molecule will be distant from each other. This state results to change in the entropy of the system as the entropy of the system increases.
