Find the element that has the same chemical properties as magnesium,but fewer protons

1 answer:

7 0

Beryllium

Elements with the same chemical properties have the same number of electrons in their highest occupied shell. Magnesium has two electrons in its highest occupied shell, and the only element with two electrons in its highest occupied shell and less total electrons than magnesium is beryllium

Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) occurs in nature as a mineral called corundum, which is noted for its hardness and resis- tance to attack

Neko [114]

Answer:

7.03×10²³ atoms of Al

Explanation:

Corundum density = 3.97g/cm³

Corundum = Al₂O₃. Then, you have 2 moles of Al and 3 moles of O in 1 mol of the compound.

Let's determine the mass of corundum, by density

Corundum density = Corundum mass / Corundum volume

3.97 g/cm³ = Corundum mass / 15cm³

3.97 g/cm³ . 15cm³ = Corundum mass →59.55 g

Now, let's find out how many moles are in that mass of corundum

1 mol of Al₂O₃ weighs 101.96 g/mol

Then, 101.96 grams of oxide have 2 moles of Al

59.55 g of oxide, will have (59.55 .2)/101.96 = 1.17 moles

Now, we can know the quantity of atoms, by this rule of three

1 mol has NA atoms (6.02×10²³)

1.17 moles will have (1.17 . NA) = 7.03×10²³ atoms of Al

Put the following names in the correct alphabetic indexing order:(1) Topper & Casey Plumbing(2) KST Enterprises(3) Leland an

dangina [55]

Answer: the correct option is 2, 3, 4, 1.

Explanation:alphabetic indexing order is the order in which files or names are being arranged according to the alphabet. In the following names:

2) KST Enterprises

3)Leland and Son Graphics

4)Lucinda Topper

1) Topper & Casey Plumbing.

While arranging alphabetically, the first letters are usually considered but in a scenario where alphabet occurs twice( 3 And 4) the second letter is considered. I hope this helps, thanks

Which atom in the ground state has the same electron configuration as a calcium ion, Ca2+, in the ground state?(1) Ar(2) K(3) Mg

Irina-Kira [14]

atoms are made of 3 types of subatomic particles; electrons, protons and neutrons

atomic number is the number of protons. atomic number is characteristic for the element. In ground state atoms, the number of electrons and protons are the same.

the electronic configuration of Ca in the ground state is

Ca - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s²

when Ca loses its 2 valence electrons, it becomes positively charged and the electronic configuration becomes

Ca - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

number of electrons in Ca²⁺ is 18

the atom in the ground state would have the same number of electrons and protons. Therefore number of protons are 18. then the atomic number of the element is 18

the atom having an atomic number of 18 is Ar.

the answer is 1) Ar

Solution X is a strong base with a pH of 12. Solution X is mixed with solution Y,and the pH of the resulting mixture is 8.Based

myrzilka [38]

The strong Base with a pH of 12 is reduced by 4 units upon being added with solution Y. If you added a strong acid to the strong base, all ions are present in the solution, yes? So every OH- is neutralised by every H+ for example, meaning the resultant pH should be 7. The resultant pH is only 8 however, so solution Y must be a <em>weak acid </em>only!
