Answer:

- They are highly reactive metals

- They have low electro negativity

- They have low ionization energy

- They don't exist alone in nature

- They have low densities

Explanation:

Alkali metals are the elements in group 1 of the periodic table. They include Sodium, Lithium, Potassium e.t.c.

Due to the fact they have one atom in their outermost shell, they are very unstable because they easily react with other elements and are therefore don't exist alone in nature but combined with other elements for this same reason.

Since alkali metals don't easily attract other elements due to it's lone pair in the outer most shell, it can be said to have low electro negativity.

Also, they don't need energy to discharge their electrons since they are highly reactive due to their lone pair in the outermost shell and so we say they have low ionization energy.

Due to this reason, they also have low densities.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

The statement true is A. A and B are isotopes of the same element.

Explanation:

Isotopes correspond to atoms of the same element with different mass numbers (A), that is to say they differ in the amount of neutrons in the nucleus. In the case of compound A it has 10 neutrons, and B has 11.

An HCl solution has a concentration of 9.8 x 10-5 M. What is the pH of this solution?
Inessa05 [86]
HCl = H⁺ + Cl⁻

c(HCl)=9.8*10⁻⁵ mol/l

pH=-lg[H⁺]

[H⁺]=c(HCl)

pH=-lg{c(HCl)}

pH=-lg{9.8*10⁻⁵}=4.009

pH=4.009
