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

Polyatomic ions: CH_3COO^-, NO_3^-, NH^+, CN^-, Li^+, and OH^-

Monatomic ions: Ca^{2+, O^{2-, and Fe^{3+

<h3>Monoatomic vs Polyatomic Ions</h3>

In chemistry, monoatomic ions are ions that consist of only a single type of atom. They are usually positive or negatively charged and are otherwise known as simple ions. Examples include  Ca^{2+, O^{2-, and Fe^{3+

Polyatomic ions, on the other hand, are ions that consist of more than one atom, unlike monoatomic ions. The two or more atoms are covalently bonded and the entire structure behaves like a single chemical entity in reactions. Polyatomic ions are otherwise known as molecular ions.

Examples of polyatomic ions are  CH_3COO^-, NO_3^-, NH^+, CN^-, Li^+, and OH^-

Thus, from the diagram:

  • Polyatomic ions: CH_3COO^-, NO_3^-, NH^+, CN^-, Li^+, and OH^-
  • Monatomic ions: Ca^{2+, O^{2-, and Fe^{3+

Choose all the answers that apply. Sound _____. travels in transverse waves requires a medium to travel through travels most slo
kari74 [83]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct option.

Explanation:

In order to travel, sound does need a medium. The more closer the particles of a medium, the better sound can travel through it. Therefore, in solids sound travels very quickly because in solids particles are closer to each other. As a result, they can easily transmit the energy from one particle to another.

Thus, it becomes easier for sound to travel through it. On the other hand, in solids sound can travel in both longitudinal and transverse waves.

Hence, out of the given options, sound travels in transverse waves requires a medium to travel through is the correct option.
