The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Which is true of Elements on a periodic table in the same group (family)?
A; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of electron shells.
B; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.
C; Elements in the same family have few similar properties as they have different numbers of electron shells.
D; Elements in the same family are always the same type of Elements and have the same number of protons.
Answer: B; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.
Explanation:
Elements are distributed in groups and periods in a periodic table.
Elements that belong to same groups will show similar chemical properties because they have same number of valence electrons.
The chemical reactivity of elements is governed by the valence electrons present in the element.
Example: Flourine, chlorine and bromine are elements which belong to Group 17. They have 9, 17 and 35 electrons respectively and contain 7 valence electrons each and need one electron to complete their octet.
Answer:
The balanced chemical equation: NH₃ + 2 HF → NH₄⁺ + HF₂⁻
Explanation:
According to the Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, the acid- base reaction is a type of chemical reaction between the acid and base to give a conjugate acid and a conjugate base.
In this reaction, a Brønsted–Lowry acid loses a proton to form a conjugate base. Whereas, a Brønsted–Lowry base accepts a proton to form a conjugate acid.
Acid + Base ⇌ Conjugate Base + Conjugate Acid
The acid dissociation constant (Kₐ) <em>signifies the acidic strength of a chemical species.</em>
∵ pKₐ = - log Kₐ
Thus for a strong acid, Kₐ value is large and pKₐ value is small.
pKₐ (HF) = 3.2 → strong acid
pKₐ (NH₃) = 38 → weak acid
<u>The chemical reaction involved in the dissolution process:</u>
NH₃ + 2 HF → NH₄⁺ + HF₂⁻
In this acid-base reaction, the acid HF reacts with NH₃ base to give the conjugate base HF₂⁻ and conjugate acid NH₄⁺.
<u>HF (acid) donates a proton to form the conjugate base, HF₂⁻ ion. NH₃ (base) accepts a proton to form the conjugate acid. </u>
Answer:
D) B and D. Weak tides, called neap tides, are experienced in the Earth's oceans when the sun is in positions B or D. In this case, the sun and moon interfere with each other in producing tidal bulges on Earth. It is definitely not the other answer since I got it right on USATESTPREP.
