The reactivity of metals on the periodic table

Chemistry
1 answer:
kari74 [83]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

The most reactive metals are found on the left of the periodic table, in the blue column, known as the alkali metals. Their reactivity increases as we go down column (group) one. Reactive metals, when attached to less reactive metals, have the ability to prevent the less reactive metal from rusting.

Refer to the periodic table tool and write the electron configurations of the following elements in both long and short terms
ahrayia [7]

Answer:-

Carbon

[He] 2s2 2p2

1s2 2s2 2p2.

potassium

[Ar] 4s1.

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

Explanation:-

For writing the short form of the electronic configuration we look for the nearest noble gas with atomic number less than the element in question. We subtract the atomic number of that noble gas from the atomic number of the element in question.

The extra electrons we then assign normally starting with using the row after the noble gas ends. We write the name of that noble gas in [brackets] and then write the electronic configuration.

For carbon with Z = 6 the nearest noble gas is Helium. It has the atomic number 2. Subtracting 6 – 2 we get 4 electrons. Helium lies in 1st row. Starting with 2, we get 2s2 2p2.

So the short term electronic configuration is [He] 2s2 2p2

Similarly, for potassium with Z = 19 the nearest noble gas is Argon. It has the atomic number 18. Subtracting 19-18 we get 1 electron. Argon lies in 3rd row. Starting with 4, we get 4s1.

So the short electronic configuration is [Ar] 4s1.

For long term electronic configuration we must write the electronic configuration of the noble gas as well.

So for Carbon it is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

For potassium it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

Art [367]

Explanation:

Aluminium - Al

Iron Sulfate - FeSO4

The reaction is given as;

Al + FeSO₄ -->  Al₂ (SO₄) ₃ + Fe

The balanced equation is given as;

2 Al + 3 FeSO₄ -->  Al₂ (SO₄) ₃ + 3 Fe

In words it is given as;

Aluminium + Iron Sulfate --> Aluminium Sulfate + Iron

What would the wave speed be of a wave with a frequency of 64Hz and a wavelength of 102m
masya89 [10]

Answer: The speed of a wave with a frequency of 64 Hz and a wavelength of 102m is 6528 m/s.

Explanation:

The formula of a speed of a wave is frequency x the wavelength.

Therefore multiply 64 and 102.

You get 6528 m/s which is the correct answer.
