Elements are grouped into periods and groups . Elements with same number of energy shells are in the same period and elements with the same number of electrons in the outermost energy shells are in the same group.
Reactivity depends on the number of valence electrons. Number of valence electrons the element has will determine if the element needs to gain electrons or give out electrons.
Therefore elements with same number of valence electrons will have similar chemical properties .
When you look at elements in the same group(column) they have similar chemical properties
Answer:
Explanation:
Ionization energy:
It is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the electron from isolated gaseous atom to make the ion.
As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell.
When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required. Where as,
When we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.
As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.
Answer:
A. to show the number of lithium atoms involved in the reaction
Explanation:
The reaction between lithium and sulfur produces lithium sulfide where two lithium and one sulfur atoms react.
Balanced equation: 2 Li + S = Li2S
The 2 present before Li on the reactant's side shows how many lithium atoms are supposed to be present per every 1 sulfur atom for this reaction to be balanced and true.
That is it! :)
<u>Answer:</u> The IUPAC name of the carboxylic acid formed is ethanoic acid.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The basic rules for naming of organic compounds are :
- First select the longest possible carbon chain.
- The longest possible carbon chain should include the carbons of double or triple bonds.
- The naming of alkane is done by adding the suffix -ane, alkene by adding the suffix -ene, alkyne by adding the suffix -yne and carboxylic acid by adding the suffix -oic acid.
- The numbering is done in such a way that first carbon of double or triple bond gets the lowest number.
- The carbon atoms of the double or triple bond get the preference over the other substituents present in the parent chain.
For the given chemical reaction, the equation follows:

When hydrolysis of ester takes place, it leads to the formation of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.
So, when hydrolysis of ethyl ethanoate occurs, it produces ethanol and a 2- Carbon carboxylic acid named as ethanoic acid.
Hence, the IUPAC name of the carboxylic acid formed is ethanoic acid.
