If a crystal lattice structure is so hard, what causes most ionic compounds to be brittle?

Chemistry

Explanation:

The cations and anions are locked tightly into place because of the attraction of their opposite charges - as a result, it's difficult to move the ions and the material is very hard.

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

Write a word equation for 2ZnS(s)+3O2(g) -&gt; 2ZnS(s) + 2SO3(g)
hjlf

2ZnS(s)+3O2(g) -> 2Zns(s) + 2SO3(g)

the above given equation is unbalanced as it contains 4 moles of sulphur in the output but in the input there are only two aoms of sulphur so to balance the equation we will write the equation as given under

balanced equation is

2ZnS(s)+3O2(g) -> 2Zn(s) + 2SO3(g)


In words:

When 2 moles of solid zinc sulfide reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas gives 2 moles of solid zinc  and 2 moles of sulphur trioxide gas.
