The alkali metals are so reactive that they are never found in nature in elemental form. Although some of their ores are abundant, isolating them from their ores is somewhat difficult. For these reasons, the group 1 elements were unknown until the early 19th century, when Sir Humphry Davy first prepared sodium (Na) and potassium (K) by passing an electric current through molten alkalis. (The ashes produced by the combustion of wood are largely composed of potassium and sodium carbonate.) Lithium (Li) was discovered 10 years later when the Swedish chemist Johan Arfwedson was studying the composition of a new Brazilian mineral. Cesium (Cs) and rubidium (Rb) were not discovered until the 1860s, when Robert Bunsen conducted a systematic search for new elements. Known to chemistry students as the inventor of the Bunsen burner, Bunsen’s spectroscopic studies of ores showed sky blue and deep red emission lines that he attributed to two new elements, Cs and Rb, respectively. Francium (Fr) is found in only trace amounts in nature, so our knowledge of its chemistry is limited. All the isotopes of Fr have very short half-lives, in contrast to the other elements in group 1.
Answer: The clumps, known as glacier mice, have been found to contain miniature ecosystems
Explanation: Because glaciers are in constant, if slow, motion and are frequently blasted by strong winds.
Answer:
: kinetic energy is the energy transformation that occurs in a hot balloon.
Explanation:
Hot air balloons use a propane burner that converts chemical energy to thermal energy. The hot air is less dense than than the colder air and it lifts the balloon
Answer:
yqaeh
Explanation:
Electrolysis of acidified water
Water is a poor conductor of electricity, but it does contain some hydrogen ions , H +, and hydroxide ions, OH -. These ions are formed when a small proportion of water molecules naturally dissociate . ... H + ions are attracted to the cathode , gain electrons and form hydrogen gas.
Sameee! I just wake up and I already wanna go take a nap lol
