<span> Chemical properties depend on electron configuration. By either gaining or losing electrons, an atom changes its electron configuration and therefore its chemical properties also change. 9.</span>
Answer:
Subtract the charge from the atomic number. When an ion has a positive charge, the atom has lost electrons. To calculate the remaining number of electrons, you subtract the amount of extra charge from the atomic number. In the case of a positive ion, there are more protons than electrons.
Explanation:
Answer:
3H₂SO₄ + 2Al₂(SO₄)₃ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂
Explanation:
3H₂SO₄ + 2Al₂(SO₄)₃ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂
In this type of reaction, one substance is replacing another:
A + BC → AC + B
In a single displacement reaction, atoms replace one another based on the activity series. Elements that are higher in the activity series. Also, if the element that is to replace the other in a compound is more reactive the reaction will occur. If it is less reactive, there will be no reation.
In the first equation, fluorine is more reactive than bromine. Therefore, bromine cannot replace bromine.
In the second equation, the displacement is between hydrogen and aluminium. Hydrogen is lower in the activity series, this implies that aluminum will replace it.
Atoms are divisible contrary to the early beliefs that the smallest "indivisible" matter is an atom. When an atom loses its identity it means that they are divisible. Atoms chemically react with other kinds of atoms thus changing their activity.
They certainly are not that important to our lives, but it’s good to know :)
Well if the change is reversible then it is a physical change, but if not then it is a chemical change.
