Three different atoms or atomic cations with 3 electrons.
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Li, Be^+, B^{2+}

Explanation:

To answer this question successfully, we need to remember that atoms are neutral species, since the number of protons, the positively charged particles, is equal to the number of electrons, the negatively charged particles. That said, we may firstly find an atom which has 3 electrons (and, as a result, 3 protons, as it should be neutral).

The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of an element. We firstly may have an atom with 3 protons and 3 electrons (atomic number of 3, this is Li).

Similarly, we may take the atomic number of 4, beryllium, and remove 1 electron from it. Upon removing an electron, it would become beryllium cation, Be^+.

We may use the same logic going forward and taking the atomic number of 5. This is boron. In this case, we need to remove 2 electrons to have a total of 3 electrons. Removal of 2 electrons would yield a +2-charged cation: B^{2+}.

Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of potassium metal (k) with water to yield potassium hydroxide.
Tanzania [10]
Reaction: 2K₍s₎ + 2H₂O₍l₎ → 2KOH₍aq₎ + H₂₍g₎.
K - potassium.
H₂O - water.
KOH - potassium-hydroxide.
H₂ - hydrogen.
s - solid phase.
l - liquid.
aq - disolves in water.
g - gas.
Reaction is exothermal (release of energy) and potassium burns a purple flame. H<span>ydrogen released during the reaction  reacts with </span>oxygen<span> and ignites.</span><span>

In two or more complete sentences explain how to balance the chemical equation and classify its reaction type.
Artemon [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

#1. Balanced equation: 2C₅H₅ + Fe → Fe(C₅H₅)₂

#2. Type of reaction: Synthesis reaction

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Balanced equations are equations that obey the law of conservation of mass.
  • When an equation is balanced the number of atoms of each element is equal on both side of the equation.
  • Equations are balanced by putting appropriate coefficients on the reactants and products.
  • In our case, we are going to put coefficients 2, 1 and 1.
  • Thus, the balanced equation will be;

2C₅H₅ + Fe → Fe(C₅H₅)₂

  • This type of a reaction is known as synthesis reaction, in which two or more reactants or compounds combine to form a single compound or product.
