An atom consists of a central nucleus with positively charged protons and neutral neutrons. Negatively charged electrons revolve around the nucleus along electronic shells. A metal atom has the tendency to lose electrons from the outermost electronic shell to form a positive ion known as cation. In a cation, the number of electrons is less than the protons in the nucleus. As a result, electrons are attracted towards the nucleus by a strong force of attraction. This makes metal ions smaller than their corresponding neutral atoms.
(Ans) (b) smaller than
A nonmetal atom usually gains electrons to form a negative ion or anion. In an anion the number of electrons is more. As a result, electrons start to repel with each other and the electrons spread out. This increases the size of anions. For this reason, nonmetal ions are typically larger than their corresponding neutral atoms.
(Ans) (a) larger than
Answer:
Potassium was the first metal to be isolated by electrolysis. It was discovered by the English chemist Sir Humphry Davy by decomposing molten potassium hydroxide (KOH) with a voltaic battery.
Explanation:
Answer:
V = 5.17L
Explanation:
Mass of gas = 8.7g
T = 23°C = (23 + 273.15)K = 296.15K
P = 1.15 atm
V = ?
R = 0.082atm.L / mol.K
From ideal gas equation
PV = nRT
P = pressure of the gas
V = volume of the gas
n = no. Of moles
R = ideal gas constant
T = temperature of the gas
no of moles = mass / molar mass
Molar mass of Chlorine = 35.5g / mol
No. Of moles = 8.7 / 35.5
No. Of moles = 0.245 moles
PV = nRT
V = nRT / P
V = (0.245 * 0.082 * 296.15) / 1.15
V = 5.9496 / 1.15
V = 5.17L
The volume of the gas is 5.17L
A. True would be the best answer
Answer:
8 electrons
Explanation:
Magnesium is present on group 2.
It has 2 valence electrons.
Electronic configuration of magnesium:
Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²
1st energy level contain 2 electrons.(1s²)
2nd energy level contain 8 electrons. (2s² 2p⁶)
3rd energy level contain 2 electrons. (3s²)
3rs energy level of magnesium is called valence shell. It contain two valance electrons. Magnesium can easily donate its two valance electrons and get stable electronic configuration.
It react with halogens and form salt. For example,
Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂
