The acids found in alcohol that make it evaporate are called organic acids.
An organic acid is an organic compound that has acidic properties. There are two types: one has a carboxyl (COOH) group, and the other type has a phenol group.
The most common organic acids are those with a carboxyl group and include acetic acid, formic acid, lactic acid and all fatty acids. Perfumes include organic acid in their composition to make them volatile. Volatile substances evaporate easily, and this is important for perfumes. They need to dissipate easily into the surrounding environment and spread their good smell.
1. The reactivity among the alkali metals increases as you go down the group due to the decrease in the effective nuclear charge from the increased shielding by the greater number of electrons. The greater the atomic number, the weaker the hold on the valence electron the nucleus has, and the more easily the element can lose the electron. Conversely, the lower the atomic number, the greater pull the nucleus has on the valence electron, and the less readily would the element be able to lose the electron (relatively speaking). Thus, in the first set comprising group I elements, sodium (Na) would be the least likely to lose its valence electron (and, for that matter, its core electrons).
2. The elements in this set are the group II alkaline earth metals, and they follow the same trend as the alkali metals. Of the elements here, beryllium (Be) would have the highest effective nuclear charge, and so it would be the least likely to lose its valence electrons. In fact, beryllium has a tendency not to lose (or gain) electrons, i.e., ionize, at all; it is unique among its congeners in that it tends to form covalent bonds.
3. While the alkali and alkaline earth metals would lose electrons to attain a noble gas configuration, the group VIIA halogens, as we have here, would need to gain a valence electron for an full octet. The trends in the group I and II elements are turned on their head for the halogens: The smaller the atomic number, the less shielding, and so the greater the pull by the nucleus to gain a valence electron. And as the atomic number increases (such as when you go down the group), the more shielding there is, the weaker the effective nuclear charge, and the lesser the tendency to gain a valence electron. Bromine (Br) has the largest atomic number among the halogens in this set, so an electron would feel the smallest pull from a bromine atom; bromine would thus be the least likely here to gain a valence electron.
4. The pattern for the elements in this set (the group VI chalcogens) generally follows that of the halogens. The greater the atomic number, the weaker the pull of the nucleus, and so the lesser the tendency to gain electrons. Tellurium (Te) has the highest atomic number among the elements in the set, and so it would be the least likely to gain electrons.
Answer:
Lithium chloride is a white solid hygroscopic soluble in water.
Hmm... interesting topic you're writing about here!
Well, for this essay, there must be specific criteria, correct? I'll make some suggestions, but of course you don't have to go by them if you don't like 'em. So... here they are!:
- List the physical and chemical properties of glue
- List the physical and chemical properties of liquid corn starch
- Compare and contrast the physical and chemical properties of glue with the physical and chemical properties of liquid corn starch
- You can conduct some experiments with the two substances also! You can mix the two together and see how they react with each other, and incorporate the results of the experiment into your essay.
- You can mix glue with some other liquid substances too, and incorporate your results into your essay. You can see whether each substance the glue mixes with creates a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture, etc.
- You can mix liquid corn starch with some other liquid substances too, and incorporate your results into your essay. You can see whether each substance the liquid corn starch mixes with creates a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture, etc.
That's all I can come up with at the moment. Maybe you'll take some of these suggestions into consideration...? Anyhow, I hope I helped somehow! :)
