Is aluminum a cation or a anion

Chemistry
1 answer:
Goryan [66]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The alkaline earth metals (IIA elements) lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation. Aluminum, a member of the IIIA family, loses three electrons to form a 3+ cation. ... And all of them form an anion with a single negative charge. The VIA elements gain two electrons to form anions with a 2- charge.

Explanation:

Which of the following polyatomic ions will form an ionic compound with two sodium ions? CO32− HCO31− NO21− NO31−
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

CO32−

Explanation:

We have to consider the valencies of the polyatomic ions involved. Recall that it is only a polyatomic ion with a valency of -2 that can form a compound which requires two sodium ions.

When we look closely at the options, we will realize that among all the options, only CO32− has a valency of -2, hence it must be the required answer. In order to be double sure, we put down the ionic reaction equation as follows;

2Na^+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq) ---------> Na2CO3(aq)

Consider the following reaction.
Ivan

Answer:

162 g Fe₂O₃

Explanation:

To find the mass of Fe₂O₃, you need to (1) convert grams C to moles C (via molar mass from periodic table), then (2) convert moles C to moles Fe₂O₃ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles Fe₂O₃ to grams (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios/conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the given value.

Molar Mass (C): 12.011 g/mol

2 Fe₂O₃(s) + 3 C(s) ---> 4 Fe(s) + 3 CO₂(g)

Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 2(55.845 g/mol) + 3(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (Fe₂O₃): 159.684 g/mol

18.3 g C           1 mole            2 moles Fe₂O₃          159.684 g
--------------  x  ----------------  x  -------------------------  x  -----------------  = 162 g Fe₂O₃
                        12.011 g              3 moles C                 1 mole

True or False? The following set of quantum numbers is acceptable (0, 0, 0, +1/2). Explain.
leonid [27]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The values of the principal quantum number range from 1- infinity. This implies that there is no such thing as an energy level with n=0.

Hence this can not be an acceptable set of quantum numbers when n=0.
