Answer:
Below are some patterns in the charge for elements in each group.
Group 1 elements : 1 valence electron and form ions with charge +1
Group 2 elements : 2 valence electrons and form ions with charge + 2
Group 3 elements : 3 valence electrons and form ions with charge + 3(there are some exceptions as well)
Elements in groups 4 and 5 are unpredictable also the D block elements consist of multiple oxidation states..
Group 6 elements : 6 valence electrons, form ions with charge -2
Group 7 elements: 7 valence electrons, form ions with charge -1
The octet rule is being followed, the elements form either ionic bond or covalent bond to fulfill it.
eg: when a K atom forms a K+ ion, the ion has the same electron configuration as the noble gas Ar (argon).
When an O atom gains 2 electrons to form the O²⁻ ion, the ion has the same electron configuration as the noble gas Ne (neon).
Note: Boron (B) is in Group 3 but doesn't form ions.
14.7 is the right answer plus 86
So potassium is more reactive than lithium because the outer electron of a potassium atom is further from its nucleus than the outer electron of a lithium atom. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
The Ideal Gas Law states that pressure (P) × volume (V) is equal to the # of moles (n) of the gas × a constant (R) × temperature (T), such that the equation is:
PV = nRT
At standard temp and pressure (STP), the T is 0°C or 273.15K, the P is 1 atm or 760 torr, and the R constant is 0.0821. Therefore the equation, solved for V becomes: V = nRT/P, or V = n(0.0821)(273)/1, so that it reduces to V = 22.4 Liters, when n = 1 mole.
So the V of any gas at STP is 22.4 L / mole
This is your perfect answer
