Natural selection requires variation between individuals. Mutations and reproduction increase genetic variation in a population. Natural selection occurs when environmental pressures favor certain traits that are passed on to offspring.
1. How is the modern periodic table organized? Increasing atomic number
2. What information about an atom's properties can you read from the periodic table? Metal or not metal. Does it want to gain or lose electrons
3. How are the relationships of elements in a group different from the relationships of elements in a period? a group will have similar properties A period will have different properties
4. Would you expect Strontium (Sr) to be more like potassium (K) or bromine (Br)?
potassium
5. Barium (Ba) is in Group 2. Recall that atoms in Group 1 lose one electron to form ions with a 1+ charge. What type of ion does barium form? Ba+2
Balanced chemical reaction: 2K(s) + 2H₂O(l) → 2KOH(aq) + H₂(g).
KOH is inorganic compound p<span>otassium hydroxide, a strong base.
H</span>₂ is hydrogen gas.
In balanced chemical reaction number of atoms on both side of chemical reaction must be same. There are two potassium atoms, four hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms on both side of reaction.
