Answer:
Strontium, a group 2 element with an electron configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ 5s² , will form a +2 ion in a chemical bond.
Explanation:
An ionic bond is produced between metallic and non-metallic atoms, where electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another. During this process, one atom loses electrons and another one gains them, forming ions. Usually, the metal gives up its electrons forming a cation to the nonmetal element, which forms an anion.
So an ion is an atom or group of atoms that have an electric charge. A cation is an ion that has a positive charge.
The alkali metals in the earth (Elements IIA) lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation. Strontium is an alkali metal that loses the two electrons belonging to 5s², forming the +2 ion.
Balanced equation:
Mg + 2 HNO3 —> Mg(NO3)2 + H2
This is a metal + acid reaction giving salt and hydrogen (not water).
Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The amount of salt present or dissolved in water or water body is known as salinity.
When salinity increases then number of particles increases, therefore, density will increase. Also, number of ions will decrease thus, electrical conductivity will decrease.
On the other hand, increase in salinity will increase the amount of salt (NaCl) is the water.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, the option all of the above is true.
Answer:
x = 4.17
y = 1.86
Explanation:
0.62 = log(x)
x = 10^0.62 = 4.17 ( to the nearest hundredth)
0.62 = ln(y)
y = e^0.62 = 1.86 (to the nearest hundredth)
