Explanation:
Cations are positively charged ions with fewer electrons than protons. To partake in reaction, metals lose electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. It has lost valence electrons and wold have a positive charge associated with it.
Potassium is a group 1 element. A metal.
Potassium has 1 valence electron so it loses the valence electron to form a stable octet.
A potassium ion has a positive charge and therefore cannot be an anion but is a cation.
The group number pretty much denotes the number of valence electrons.
Group 1 = 1
Group 2 = 2
Group 17 = 7
Group 18 = 8
Answer:
The final volume of NaOH solution is 30ml
Explanation:
We all know that
V1S1 = V2S2
or V1= V2S2÷S1
or V1= V2×S2×1/S1
or V1=100×0.15×1/0.50
V1= 30
∴30 ml NaOH solution is required to prepare 0.15 M from 100ml 0.50 M NaOH solution.
Answer:4
Explanation:
If we carefully observe the electronegativity of the elements in question
P-2.19
N-3.04
C-2.55
Si-1.9
H-2.2
SiH4 is definitely more polar than CH4 hence greater dipole forces of a higher boiling point. NH3 is more polar than PH3 hence NH3 has greater dipole forces and a higher boiling point. Electronegative differences influences the polarity of a bond. The greater the electro negativity difference between bonding atoms, the greater the dipole forces and the greater the boiling point.
Answer:
Limitations of Rutherford Atomic Model
Although the Rutherford atomic model was based on experimental observations it failed to explain certain things. Rutherford proposed that the electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed paths called orbits. ... Ultimately the electrons would collapse in the nucleus.
