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.

The following five beakers, each containing a solution of sodium chloride (NaCl, also known as table salt), were found on a lab
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

See the answers below

Explanation:

1)  100. mL of solution containing 19.5 g of NaCl  (3.3M)

2)  100. mL of 3.00 M NaCl solution (3 M)

3) 150. mL of solution containing 19.5 g of NaCl  (2.2 M)

4)  Number 1 and 5 have the same concentration (1.5M)

MW of NaCl = 23 + 36 = 59 g

For number 3

          59 g ------------------- 1 mol

           19,5 g -----------------   x

  x = 19.5 x 1/59 = 0.33 mol

Molarity (M) = 0.33 mol/0.150 l = 2.2 M

For number 4,

Molarity (M) = 0.33mol/0.10 l = 3.3 M

For number 5

Molarity (M) = 0.450/0.3 = 1.5 M

melisa1 [442]

Answer : The chemical symbol for the element that results from this process is, (Ar) for argon.

Explanation :

Electron capture : In this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. Simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. Mass number does not change in this process.

_Z^A\textrm{X}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^A\textrm{Y}

The equation for the given reaction is,

_{19}^{40}\textrm{K}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{18}^{40}\textrm{Ar}

Thus, the chemical symbol for the element that results from this process is, argon (Ar).

Predidt the direction and the relative value of the dipole moment of the following bond: C-Cl
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

D. C → Cl electronegativity difference > 0.5

Explanation:

The electro negativity of an atom in a compound refers to its ability to attract the electrons of a bond towards itself.

On the Pauling's scale, carbon has an electro negativity value of 2.55 while that of chlorine is 3.16. The difference in electro negativity between the both atoms is about 0.61.

The dipole is aslways directed towards the more electronegative atom. Hence the direction is ; C → Cl
