Answer:
magnesium
Explanation:
magnesium is in Group 2, in the periodic table. this means that it has 2 valence electrons. the less valence electrons an element or atom has, the more reactive. Selenium has 6 valence electrons. as a result, Mg is more reactive
Answer:
Based on compounds given, NO reaction occurs
Explanation
The compounds should exchange ions to generate a driving force that pulls the reaction to completion. => Example ...
The Molecular Equation is ...
NH₄Cl(aq) + AgNO₃(aq) => NH₄NO₃(aq) + AgCl(s)
Silver chloride forms in this reaction as a solid precipitate because of its low solubility and is the 'Driving Force' of the reaction. Driving Force is a more stable compound than any on the reactant side and when formed leaves the reaction system as a solid ppt, liquid weak electrolyte (i.e., weak acid or weak base) or a gas decomposition product of a weak electrolyte.
The Ionic Equation is ...
NH₄⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) + Ag⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) => NH₄⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) + AgCl(s)
This shows all ions from reaction plus the Driving Force of the reaction.
The Net Ionic Equation is ...
Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) => AgCl(s)
The Net Ionic Equation shows only those ions undergoing reaction. The NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions are 'Spectator Ions' and do not react.
Attached is a reference sheet for determining the Driving Force of a Metathesis Double Replacement Reaction. Suggest reviewing acid-base theories and the products of decomposition type reactions.
Answer:
Fe
Explanation:
The electrical conductivity depends mainly on the type of chemical bonds between the atoms of a compound.
In the case of MgF2, FeCl3 and FeO3, these have the type of ionic bond. This means that in the atoms of the compound there is an electron transfer, to keep eight electrons in the outermost layer and thus resemble the electronic configuration of the inert gas closest to each of the two elements, due to this ions of opposite charges are formed that are held together by electrostatic forces. These types of compounds are good conductors of electricity, however, to have this property, they must be dissolved in water or molten.
In the case of Fe, however, the type of union between atoms is metallic. In this type of junction, valence electrons are quite free inside the metal, which makes it easy for them to move. For this reason, this compound will conduct electricity in a solid state.
2Cu + S = Cu₂S
S⁰ + 2e⁻ = S⁻²
Cu⁰ - 1e⁻ = Cu⁺¹
A sulfur atom gains two electrons.
