Hey :)
Air pollution
Hope this helps!
Good luck in your test :)
Answer:
2K +F₂→ 2KF
Explanation:
When we balance an equation, we are trying to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the arrow.
On the left side of the arrow, there is 1 K atom and 2 F atoms. On the right, there is 1 K and 1 F atom.
Since the number of K atoms is currently balanced, balance the number of F atoms.
K +F₂→ 2KF
Now, that the number of F atoms is balanced on both sides, check if the number of K atoms are balanced.
<u>Left</u>
K atoms: 1
F atoms: 2
<u>Right</u>
K atoms: 2
F atoms: 2
The number of K atoms is not balanced.
2K +F₂→ 2KF
<u>Left</u>
K atoms: 2
F atoms: 2
<u>Right</u>
K atoms: 2
F atoms: 2
The equation is now balanced.
A) true
b) false The atomic mass is never less than the atomic number.
c) this one is a bit tricky. For hydrogen, the atomic mass can equal the atomic number IF you are rounding the mass to the nearest whole number. That only works for hydrogen, though
d) false The larger the element, the more neutrons that are needed to keep the nucleus stable.
e) true
f) true
