I'm asking again because the other one I did won't show up. Also please explain! Thanks! :)

What do Potassium and Krypton have in common and what are their differences based on their location on the periodic table?

Kamila [148]

Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same period, so they have the same number of electron shells. Potassium is more reactive than Krypton because it only has one valence electron.

K and Kr are both in Period 4, so they each have the n = 1, 2, 3, and 4 shells. Kr is less reactive than K because it already has a complete octet.

“Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same period, so they have the same number of electron shells. Krypton is more reactive than Potassium because it has a full outer shell” is incorrect because having a full outer shell means that the element is unreactive.

“Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same group, so they have the same number of valence electrons. They have different numbers of electron shells” is incorrect for three reasons:

1. K is in Group 1 and Kr is in Group 18.

2. K has one valence electron, and Kr has eight valence electrons.

3. They have the same number of electron shells.

“Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same group, so they have the same number of valence electrons. They have different numbers of electron shells” is incorrect for two reasons:

1. K and Kr have different numbers of valence electrons.

2. They have the same number of electron shells.

Which statement is true at STP? (The atomic mass of Zn is 65.39 u.)

earnstyle [38]

Zinc is a metal. At STP, it exists as solid and is stable as it is. It is an important mineral and is used in many applications like in food, metal and drugs. Zinc can be found in the Earth's crust and also it is present in small amounts in some food.

To answer this question, you may need access to the periodic table of elements.

OleMash [197]

Answer:

b.) Br and Br

Explanation:

A covalent bond occurs when electrons are shared between two atoms causing them to form a bond.

A "pure" covalent bond refers to a nonpolar covalent bond. In these bonds, the electrons are shared equally between two atoms as a result of the absence of an (or very small) electronegativity difference. The purest covalent bond would therefore be between two atoms of the same electronegativity. Two bromines (Br) have the same electronegativity, thus making it the purest covalent bond.

Polar covalent bonds occur when electrons are shared unequally between two atoms. There is a larger electronegativity difference between the two atoms, but not large enough to classify the bonds as ionic. In this case, a.) and c.) are polar covalent bonds and d.) is an ionic bond.

Compound X has a molar mass of 266.64 g/mol and the following composition: aluminum 20.24% chlorine 79.76% Write the molecular f

N76 [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Assume we have 100g of this substance. That means we would have 20.24g of Cl and 79.76g of Al. Now we can find how many moles of each we have:

$\frac{79.76 \:g}{35.45 \: g/mol}$ = 2.25 mol of chlorine

$\frac{20.24 \: g}{26.98 \: g/mol}$ = 0.750 mol of Al.

To form a integer ratio, do 2.25/0.75 = 2.99999 ~= 3.

So the ratio is essentially Al : Cl => 1 : 3. To the compound is possibly $AlCl_3$ .

However, it says it has a molar mass of 266.64 g/mol, and since AlCl3 has a molar mass of 133.32, it must be $Al_2Cl_6$ .

Actually this molecule isn't exactly AlCl3 (which is ionic). Al2Cl6 forms a banana bond where Cl acts as a hapto-2 ligand. But that's a bit advanced. All you need to know is X = Al2Cl6
