Answer: K only has 1 valence electron. It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.
Explanation: A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons. But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell. Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals. Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1. The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level. So it has a valency of 1. This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4). When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1. The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.
Answer:
0.9
Explanation:
The pka represents the force by which the molecules need to dissociate for the acids ,
Hence , lower the pka stronger will be the acid and that therefore will dissociate completely and vice versa , for a weak acid higher the pka .
And in case of a base , it will be completely reversed , lower pKa , weaker base ,
and higher pKa , stronger base .
From the data of the question ,
0.9 is the lowest value of the pKa , hence , weakest base .
Answer:
b, H2O(s) r H2O(g)
Explanation:
entropy is heat, so increase in heat would mean water gets evaporated or melted, or both in this case. so the only choice above that showed increase in heat is from solid(ice) to gas(water vaper) due to increase in heat in the reaction.
