Which elements have the most similar chemical properties?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mumz [18]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: K and Na

Explanation:

Potassium and Sodium have a chemical symbol of K and Na respectively.

They have similar chemical properties because both

- have only one valence electron,

- form univalent positive ion when they donate their lone outermost electron as shown below

Na --> Na+ + e-

K --> K+ + e-

- are good reducing agents

- react with cold water vigorously to liberate hydrogen gas and form alkalis, so they are known as alkali metals.

- K and Na are placed in Group 1 of the periodic table.

Thus, unlike the other pairs given, K and Na, have the most similar chemical properties

He predicted an element with an atomic weight between 65 (zinc) and 75 (arsenic) with a valence similar to aluminum that he name
skad [1K]

Answer:

Scandium

Explanation:

Mendeleev played an important role in the development of the modern periodic table. His periodic table was filled with gaps. He said that these gaps were elements that were yet to be discovered. He rightly predicted many elements which have now been discovered and fitted in their proper places in the periodic table.

He used the prefix ''eka'' to refer to elements whose properties were alike but were yet to be discovered at that time.

The compound named ekaboron which he predicted to have an atomic weight between 65 (zinc) and 75 (arsenic) with a valence similar to aluminum was later discovered in 1879 and properly named scandium.

List the following elements from increasing electronegativity: boron, magnesium, calcium, chlorine, argon
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

The list of elements from increasing electronegativity: Calcium <  magnesium < chlorine < argon < boron.

Explanation:

In the periodic table if you move from left to right there would be an increase in the electronegativity of the elements. If you move from the bottom to the top of the groups in the periodic table the electronegativity increases and if u move to the bottom from down its decreases.

Calcium is in the 2nd group below magnesium so calcium is the least electronegative among given elements then magnesium and then chlorine as it is top of magnesium then argon, as it is right to the chlorine, and boron has the most electronegativity as it is above rest of the elements.

If body fats has a density of 0.94 g/mL and 3.0 liters of fat are removed, how many pounds of fat were removed from the patient?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

6.217 pounds

Explanation:

We are given;

  • Density of body fats 0.94 g/mL
  • Volume of fats removed = 3.0 L

We are required to determine the mass of fats removed in pounds.

We need to know that;

Density = Mass ÷ volume

1 L = 1000 mL, thus, volume is 3000 mL

Rearranging the formula;

Mass = Density × Volume

         = 0.94 g/mL × 3000 mL

         = 2,820 g

but, 1 pound = 453.592 g

Therefore;

Mass = 2,820 g ÷ 453.592 g per pound

         = 6.217 pounds

Thus, the amount of fats removed is 6.217 pounds

Calculate the molar concentration of the Br⁻ ions in 0.51 M MgBr2(aq), assuming that the dissolved substance dissociates complet
Y_Kistochka [10]
MgBr2(aq) is an ionic compound which will have the releasing of 2 Br⁻ ions ions in water for every molecule of MgBr2 that dissolves.
MgBr2(s) --> Mg+(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq)
            [Br⁻] = 0.51 mol MgBr2/1L × 2 mol Br⁻ / 1 mol MgBr2 = 1.0 M
The answer to this question is [Br⁻] = 1.0 M
