Answer:
B- Sodium loses an electron.
D- Fluorine gains an electron.
Sodium is oxidized.
Explanation:
The reaction equation is given as:
Na + F → NaF
In this reaction, Na is the reducing agent. It loses an electron and then becomes oxidized. By so doing, Na becomes isoelectronic with Neon.
Fluorine gains the electron and then becomes reduced. This makes fluorine also isoelectronic with Neon.
This separation of charges on the two species leads to an electrostatic attraction which forms the ionic bonds.
The chemical symbol for gold is AU
In the modern periodic table, the elements are arranged according to their atomic number - not their relative atomic mass.
In the periodic table the elements are arranged into:
rows, called periods, in order of increasing atomic number
vertical columns, called groups, where the elements have similar properties
Answer:
B) They are made up of particles that travel in a curved path when in motion.
Explanation:
We know that gas, being a state of matter, is made up of particles. John Dalton's solid-sphere model was proven to be incorrect by Ernest Rutherford's gold foil experiment.
These particles do NOT always move very slowly. There are multiple different factors that affect the speed of the particles such as temperature or concentration.
