Answer:
A positive ions is always smaller than the corresponding atom.
A negative ion is always larger than the corresponding atom.
Explanation:
The reason for this is that, when a positive ion is formed, a full shell is usually removed with its electrons thereby reducing the size of the electron cloud and decreasing the size of the electron cloud.
A negative ion is formed by addition of more electrons to the electron cloud hence it spreads out. Interelectronic repulsion accounts for the larger size of the negative ion.
Answer: <em>it will give up electrons forming a positive ion</em>
Explanation:
The balanced chemical
reaction will be:
2H2O = 2H2 + O2
<span>We are given the amount of water used in the decomposition reaction. This will be our
starting point.</span>
<span>17.0 g H2O</span> (1 mol H2O/ 18.02 g H2O) (1 mol O2/2
mol <span>H2O</span>) ( 32.00 g O2/1mol O2) = 15.09 g O2
Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100
<span>Percent yield =10.2 g / 15.09 g
x 100</span>
Percent yield = 67.58%
False. An increase in temperature is an exothermic reaction. However, when a temperature decreases this is known as an endothermic reactionz
Answer:
Barium has the same number of valence electrons as calcium
Explanation:
Valence electrons is the number of electrons of an atom on the outer shell.
Those valence electrons can participate in the formation of a chemical bond (if the outer shell is not closed); in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.
<u>Calcium</u> is an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons.
<u>Sulfur </u>is part of a group 16, called the chalcogens or oxygen family. Those atoms have 6 valence electrons. They can form a bound with atoms of group 2 such as calcium, but do not have the same number of valence electrons.
<u>Potassium</u> is part of group 1, called the alkali metals or lithium family. Those atoms have 1 valence electrons. That means Potassium do not have the same number of valence electrons like calcium.
<u>Neon</u> is part of group 18, the noble gasses. Those are stable atoms, which means they have 8 valence electrons. They do not have the same number of valence electrons like Calcium.
<u>Barium</u> an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons. Calcium is also part of this group.
This means barium has the same number of valence electrons as Calcium.
