Answer:
- They are highly reactive metals
- They have low electro negativity
- They have low ionization energy
- They don't exist alone in nature
- They have low densities
Explanation:
Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.
Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.
Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.
Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.
Due to this reason, they also have low densities.
The balanced chemical reaction for the described reaction above is,
Na2CO3 + 2HCl ---> 2NaCl + H2CO3
From the reaction, 1 mole of Na2CO3 is needed to produce 2 moles of NaCl. In terms of mass, 106 grams of Na2CO3 are needed to produce 116.9 grams of NaCl. From this,
(23.4 g NaCl) x (106 g Na2CO3 / 116.9 NaCl = 21.22 g Na2CO3
Thus, approximately 21.22 g Na2CO3 is needed for the desired reaction.
Answer:
The correct answer is cancer therapy, genetic engineering, and detecting thyroid malfunction.
Explanation:
There are numerous applications of radiation in medicine. The most well-known is the use of X-rays. Other than that radiations are also used in the treatment of cancer known as cancer therapy. It is also used in nuclear medicine therapy like the application of radioactive iodine in the treatment of thyroid issues like thyroid cancer. Radiation also has an application in genetic engineering that comprises the production of modifications in the hereditary units of prevailing animals and plants.
