Why does alkali elements react vigorously with water?

Chemistry
1 answer:
HACTEHA [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Because the alkali metal is really willing to give up its electron much more so than Hydrogen.

The redox reaction looks like this

K ===> K+   +    1 e-    The reduction vo is very high which means that the K really does want to give up that electron.

2H+  +2e- ====> H2  The oxidation vo is almost 0 but the Hydrogen is the perfect recipient for the 2 electrons.

Consider a bent molecule, such as H2Se, in which the central atom has two lone pairs of electrons. The electronegativities of H
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Based on these values and on consideration of molecular geometry, the H-Se bond can be considered almost _____non-polar___ and the molecule is __polar_____.

Explanation:

Looking at the difference in electro negativity of the two elements; hydrogen and selenium, one may be led to the conclusion that the molecule is nonpolar since the magnitude of electronegative between the two bonding atoms is minimal.

However, electro negativity difference alone is insufficient to determine the polarity of a molecule. The structure of the molecule is also considered. Based on the structure of the molecule, it is expected to have a dipole moment. Hence the molecule is polar.
