Answer:

E²⁺

Explanation:

The group two contain alkaline earth metals.

There are six elements in group 2A.

Beryllium, Magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium.

All members have two valance electrons.

They lose two valance electrons to complete the octet.

When they lose the two valance electrons they form cation X²⁺.

They react with halogens and form salt such as

MgCl₂, CaCl₂ etc.

Mg²⁺ Cl²⁻₂

The oxidation state of halogens are -1, while the elements of group two A shows +2 that's why two atoms of halogen are combine with one atom of alkaline earth metals and make the compound overall neutral.

All the alkaline earth metals have similar properties.

A fixed quantity of gas fills a volume of 10.6 liters at 638 torr and 83 C. Find the volume it will occupy if the pressure is 10

sukhopar [10]

According to this formula:
(P1V1) / T1 = (P2V2) / T2

convert T from C° to Kelvin:
T1 = 83 + 273 = 356 K
T2= 96 + 273 = 369 K

convert P from torr to atm:
1 torr = 0.00131578947 atm<span>
p1 = 0.839474 atm
P2 = 1.415789 atm
By substitution in the previous formula:
(0.839474 x 10.6 ) / (356) = ( 1.415789 x V2 ) / 369
So:
V2 = 6.5 L</span>

One way in which elements differ from each other is the structure of the electron cloud in each elements Atoms in electron cloud

BartSMP [9]

Not sure what you are asking. I have two possible answers though...

It could either be more negatively charged, or valence electrons.

The more away from the nucleus a electron is, the more negatively charged it is.

The electrons on the outermost electron shell is valence electrons.

Again, I don't know what you were asking, but one of these answers may be correct.

Why are the oxidation and reduction half-reactions separated in an<br> electrochemical cell?

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

<h2>It makes the current viable enough to pass through an exterior wire.</h2>

Explanation:

Electrochemical cells primarily comprise of two half-cells. These half-cells assist in isolating the oxidation and reduction half-reactions. These two reactions are linked by a wire which allows the current to move from one edge to the other. The oxidation at the anode and the reduction take place at the cathode and the addition of a salt bridge helps in completing the circuit and permits the current to flow and leads to the generation of electricity.

Which substance has a mass is 13.5 grams, and its volume is 5 cm 3.

solmaris [256]

Answer:

Substance is Aluminium

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass; m = 13.5 grams

Volume; V = 5 cm³

Formula for density is;

density = m/V

Density = 13.5/5

Density = 2.7 g/cm³

From the table attached, we can see that the element with a corresponding density of 2.7 is Aluminium
