Sodium is more reactive than magnesium. Give reason ​

Chemistry

scoray [572]3 years ago

Answer:

The alkaline-earth metals tend to lose two electrons to form M 2+ ions (Be2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and so on). These metals are less reactive than the neighboring alkali metal. Magnesium is less active than sodium; calcium is less active than potassium; and so on. These metals become more active as we go down the column.

Answer: According to the reactivity of metals Sodium is the second metal while Magneesium is the fourth metal. The metal in the top of the reactivity serise table are more reactive.

<em>(The series obtained by the arrangement of metals in the decending oder of their  reactivity is the REACTIVITY SERIES TABLE)</em>

Explanation:

K

<u><em>Na</em></u>

Ca

<u><em>Mg</em></u>

Al

Zn

Fe

Sn

Pb

H

Cu

Hg

Ag

Pt

Au

Therefore Sodium is more reactive than Magnesium

How Non-Polar Molecule disolves in Non-Polar Molecule?
sergeinik [125]

=)

Explanation:

Nonpolar compounds do not dissolve in water. The attractive forces that operate between the particles in a nonpolar compound are weak dispersion forces. However, the nonpolar molecules are more attracted to themselves than they are to the polar water molecules.

Estimate the coordination number for the cations in each of these ceramic oxides and also the coordination numbers of the oxygen
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

CN cation, anion ] respectively are thus [6,4] , [2,3] ,[6,6] , [6,6] , [6,3] , [12,6,2] , [6], [6].

Explanation:

The coordination number CN is the number of ligand atoms bonded (coordinate bonds) directly to the central of the metal ion. It is not the same as the oxidation state of the metal ion or complex.

Coordination number – the number of anions surrounding the cation.

In solving for CN we need to understand Pauling's rules.

According to Linus Pauling, 1932

“Pauling’s rules” for crystal structures, makes assumptions for ionic bonding. It states that ionic structure is understood using electrostatic rules of attraction and repulsion.

Cations and anions surround each other to neutralize charge – and these one can rationalize crystal structure with coordination number.

Ratio of cationic/anionic radius

• The structure of D-Al2O3 results in coordination number of 6 and 4 for cation and anion respectively.

• The average oxygen coordination number in v-B2O3 is equal to the average cation coordination number × cation/anion ratio (2/3).

• Co-ordination number of Ca2+ ion is =6;

In CaO crystal, Ca2+ is a cation and O2- is an anion. Cationic (Ca2+) has radius 100 pm and anionic (O2-) has radius  145 pm.

Ratio of cationic/anionic radius is:

r⁺/r⁻ = 100 / 145

r⁺/r⁻ = 0.69

CaO will form FCC lattice.

Coordination number in FCC lattice is 6. Therefore CN of Ca2+ = 6.

For MgO:

r Mg2+/ r O2- = 86pm / 126 pm =0.683

The cordination number for the cation is 6. MgO with ions Mg+2 and O-2 will have a AX type stochiometry exhibiting the

crystal structure of sodium chloride.

For TiO2:

The CN of the titanium (IV) cation is 6, which is twice the CN of the oxide anion, which is 3.

This fits with the formula unit of TiO2, since there are twice as many O2− ions as Ti4+ ions.

Consequently the crystal structure of all ionic compounds reflects the formula unit.

For LaAlO3 a Cubic perovskites (ABX3)

In perovskite structures, B cations are coordinated by six X anions, while A

cations present CN = 12 (also coordinated by X anions). The X anions have CN = 2, being

coordinated by two A cations, since the distance A-O is about 40% larger than the B-O

bond distance. The correct ionic radii (rA, rB, rX), taken from one of Shannon’s work.

rA = 1.36 pm

rB = 0.535 pm

rX = 1.35 pm

Forsterite Mg2SiO4

We have mixed sites of Si4+ in tetrahedral site, Mg2+ in octahedral site, O atoms anions .

They all forms octahedral chains/strips. The CN is estimated to (6) octahedral, with an average ratio 0.414

Nickel Cobaltite Ni(Co2O4)3

bidentate ligand includes the Oxalate, three oxalate ligands form six-coordinate bonds around the Ni2+ ion.

Co-ordinate number of Nickel in [Ni(C2​O4​)3​] 4− is 3×2=6.

A car with a mass of 1,000 kg is moving at a speed of 20 m/s. What is the car's kinetic energy?
shtirl [24]

The answer would be 200000 J. the equation for kinetic energy is 1/2 mass times velocity squared. 1/2 of 1,000 is 500. and 20*20 is 400. So, multiply 400 by 500, and that gives you your answer,
