Chemistry
1 answer:
otez555 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Option A) Na

Explanation:

From the options given above, sodium (Na) is most likely to lose electron to form ion

Na is a group 1 metal. Metals form ions by losing electron(s).

From the options given above, only Na is a metal and so it is most likely to form ion by losing electron

Describe the characteristic of chemical structure found at the core of each steroid hormone
Kipish [7]

Explanation:

Steroid contains a steroidal ring and are devoid of fatty acid chain. The steroidal nucleus is a fused ring consisting of three six membered rings, and a five membered ring.

Examples of steroidal molecules include, cholesterol, steroidal hormones such as estrogen(estradiol) progestrone, testoterone and corticosteroidal hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone and cortisone.

An electron in an atom is known to be in a state with magnetic quantum number ml=−1
Ulleksa [173]

Explanation:

It is known that the maximum value of ml is equal to the vale of l. But the minimum value of n is as follows.

                    n = l + 1

where,     n = principle quantum number

                l = azimuthal quantum number

Values of n can be 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on. Whereas the values of l can be 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on.

Also, "m" is known as magnetic quantum number whose values can be equal to -l and +l.

So, when n = 1 then l = 0 and m = 0.

When n = 2 then l = 1 and values of m will be equal to -1, 0, +1. As it is given that the magnetic quantum number ml = -1. Hence, it is only possible when n = 2.

Thus, we can conclude that the smallest possible value of the principal quantum number n of the state is 2.

A solution of 100.0 mL of 0.200 M KOH is mixed with a solution of 200.0 mL of 0.150 M NiSO4. (a) Write the balanced chemical equ
Alika [10]

Answer:

2KOH(aq) + NiSO₂(aq) → K₂SO₄(aq) + NiOH₂(s)

Explanation:

This reaction is an example of a <em>double-replacement reaction </em>where the cations of two compounds exchange with its anions. In the reaction:

KOH(aq) + NiSO₄(aq)

There are produced K₂SO₄ and NiOH₂ salts (The last one is insoluble, its state is (s) but K₂SO₄ is very soluble, its state is (aq). The unbalanced reaction is:

KOH(aq) + NiSO₄(aq) → K₂SO₄(aq) + NiOH₂(s)

To balance the potassiums:

<h3>2KOH(aq) + NiSO₂(aq) → K₂SO₄(aq) + NiOH₂(s)</h3>

And now, the reaction is balanced
