Because the alkali metals are the group 1 metals, they have only 1 valence electron that they want to lose, and the halogens are the group 17 nonmetals, they want to gain 1 valence electron to become stable.
The mass percentage would be reduced but not as much as if it were a complete reaction ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ︵┻━┻ mark brainliest please
The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed. Since we have 2 g/mol of A and 3 g/mol of B then AB should be equal to the sum of their molar mass that is
2 g/mol + 3 g/mol = 5 g/mol AB
for the case of A2B3
A2 = 2 * 2 = 4 g/mol
B3 = 3 * 3 = 9 g/mol
therefore A2B3 = 13 g/mol
