Imagine you are about to investigate what happens when sodium and potassium are mixed together. Before you begin your experiment

, a peer tells you this reaction is impossible, as both elements will not react to chemically bond to one another. Type a paragraph statement explaining why this is true. Be sure to relate this cause to chemical bonding and the elements’ positions on the periodic table.​

Explanation:

Potassium and Sodium are both metals on the periodic table. Both elements are found on the s-block of the table. Therefore, it is not possible for both of them to combine to form a compound.

For a compound to form two elements must combine in a definite order to given  single product.

The combination is facilitated by a loss, gain or sharing of electrons between two species. This leads to an attraction between the combining species.

Both Sodium and potassium would prefer to lose electrons and there is no reason for them to combine to form a compound.

Marysya12 [62]
The similarities of physical and chemical changes is that both of those changes change the way the object looks by it's physical appearance. Also they use a type of element to change that object.

(b) what is the distance (in meters) between the centers of adjacent atoms?
We assume the atoms as cube, so we use the volume of the cube to calculate the distance of the atoms.

How to check atomic mass?​
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

There are multiple ways to check mass but I'll tell you one. Look below

Explanation:

One easy way of checking atomic mass is by adding protons and neutrons.

For example:

We have 5 protons and 4 neutrons.

5+4=9

I hope this helps (:

A 4.00g sample of helium has a volume of 24.4L at a temperature of 25.0oC and a pressure of 1.00 atm. The volume of the helium i
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

0.41 moles.

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of helium = 4.00 g

Initial Volume = 24.4 L

initial Temperature = 25.0 °C =( 25 + 273) = 298 K

initial Pressure = 1.00 atm

The volume was reduced to :

i.e

final volume of the helium - 10.4 L

Change in ΔV = 24.4 - 10.4 = 10.0 L

Temperature and pressure remains constant.

The new quantity of gas can be calculated by using the ideal gas equation.

PV = nRT

n = \frac{PV}{RT}

n = \frac{1.00*10.0}{0.082057*298}

n = 0.4089 moles

n = 0.41 moles.
