Pretend you are the size of an atom and you are observing a reaction between a potassium ion and a fluorine atom. Describe how a

n ionic bond forms as the atoms react. Tell what happens to the valence electrons in each atom and how each atom is changed by losing or gaining electrons.

Answer:

C

Due to periodic trends potassium would lose its one valence electron to have a more stable electron configuration equivalent to that of argon, which is a noble gas with a full octet. Fluorine would gain one valence electron to get a full octet equivalent to that of neon. Since potassium lost an electron it now has a positive charge and since fluorine gained an electron it is now negative. Since both are more stable this way as a full octet they will no longer exchange electrons but the positive potassium and negative fluorine will pull towards each other strongly forming an ionic bond.

Calculate the following:
Brrunno [24]

Follow these steps to solve the given equation:

Multiply the two decimal figures together and find the sum of the exponents, that is,

(1.5 * 1.89) * 10 ^4+3

(2.835) * 10^7

10^7 can also be written as e.70

'e' stands for exponential. 

Therefore, we have  2. 835 e 7.0 = 2.8 e 7.0.

Based on the calculations above, the correct option is A.

1.) Why does carbon form covalent bonds?
juin [17]

For #1, I'd say it's "It will usually bond to multiple atoms which can provide a total of 4 additional electrons."

2. Ionic (I'm quite certain because anions/cations (-1 & +1) are Ionic from what I recall, if that's true it's Ionic.
3. "comparison of the associated families to which the elements belong" and
"the difference in electronegativities" are what I would choose, as I mentioned in a comment earlier.

If I'm wrong let me know, but I am at least 80% sure that these responses are correct from what I remember in Chemistry.

If 8.6 g of ch4 and 5.9 g of o2 react, what is the mass, in grams, of h2o that is produced?
Alenkasestr [34]
This may seem confusing because they give you two masses, but all you have to do is pick one to do the calculations. Personally, I would pick O2, since the molar mass is easier to calculate. The answer would be 3.3 g (rounded for sig figs). To get this, first take the 5.9 grams of O2 and convert it to moles by dividing by the molar mass of oxygen gas, which is 32. Then, multiply both by the mole-mole ratio, which is 2:2, or simply 1:1. After that, multiply that by 18g, which is the molar mass of water to get grams of water. 

REMEMBER, you have to write and balance the chemical equation before you can do any of that work. 
That happens to be CH4 + 2O2 => CO2 + 2H2O

2. What are the characteristics of an acid (at least 3)?
arlik [135]

Answer:Acids taste sour, react with metals, react with carbonates, and turn blue litmus paper red. Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, do not react with carbonates and turn red litmus paper blue.

Explanation:

  • Sour taste (though you should never use this characteristic to identify an acid in the lab)
  • Reacts with a metal to form hydrogen gas.
  • Increases the H+ concentration in water.
