The kinetic theory of gases describes a gas as a large number of submicroscopic particles, all of which are in constant, rapid, random motion. The randomness arises from the particles' many collisions with each other and with the walls of the container.
Answer:
it is because a number of factors, including sample surface cleanliness and temperature, can prevent chunks of alkali metals from exploding on contact with water. The team eliminated those variables and others by using a sodium-potassium alloy that remains liquid at room temperature and a droplet delivery system featuring a calibrated syringe.
Atoms that lose electrons acquire a positive charge as a result because they are left with fewer negatively charged electrons to balance the positive charges of the protons in the nucleus. Positively charged ions are called cations. Most metals become cations when they make ionic compounds.
The answer is SiO2
Since silicon has four valence electrons and each oxygen has 2, for every 1 silicon there must be 2 oxygen to fill in both element's outer shells satisfactorily. An alternative way to figure out the chemical formula is to simply swap the charges.
Silicon is a -4 and oxygen is a -2.
Oxygen's charge is brought down into subscript and set as the number of silicons in the chemical formula, making silicon Si2. Silicon's charge is brought down to make the number of oxygens in the chemical formula O4. The formula we have currently is Si2O4. Simplify it to get the empirical formula (divide by 2) and you get SiO2.
