Explanation:
The answer is the Calcium ion. It satisfies the conditions of the question.
Condition 1
The net ionic charge is one-tenth the nuclear charge.
In the Calcium ion, Ca²⁺. The nuclear charge in this ion is 20. The net ionic charge is 2.
2 / 20 = 1 / 10. So the net ionic charge is indeed one tenth of the nuclear charge.
Condition 2
The number of neutrons is four more than the number of electrons.
Mass Number of Ca²⁺ = 44
Atomic Number = 20
Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number = 44 -20 = 24
Number of electrons = 20 - 2 = 18
Since Number of Neutrons = 22, Number of electrons = 18. This condition also holds.
As an ion and as an isotope = Ca²⁺, Ca - 42
CAESIUM is the most reactive metal............
Answer is: D. The I⁻ ion and the positive end of a water molecule.
Dissociation of potassium iodide in water:
KI(aq) → K⁺(aq) + I⁻(aq).
Solvation is the interaction of solvent (water) with molecules or ions (in this example K⁺ and I⁻) in a solute.
Anion I⁻ has negative charge, so positive end (hydrogen atoms) of a water molecul attracts them.
Solvent (usually a liquid, but can also be a solid or a gas) is a substance that dissolves a solute.
The correct classification of the solutes are as follows:
<span>hydroiodic acid hi = strong electrolyte
calcium hydroxide ca(oh)2 = weak electrolyte
hydrofluoric acid hf = weak electrolyte
methyl amine ch3nh2 = weak electrolyte
sodium bromide nabr = strong electrolyte
propanol c3h7oh = non electrolyte
sucrose c12h22o11 = non electrolyte
Strong electrolytes are substances that completely ionizes in aqueous solution while weak electrolytes are those that partially ionizes. Non electrolytes are substances that cannot conduct electric charge since there are no ions in the solution.</span>
