The disturbance of a supersaturated solution will cause precipitation. A supersaturated solution is a solution that contains more solute than the solvent can dissolve. When this type of solution is disturbed like when it is moved, the formation of a solid is observed immediately.
Answer:
B: +3
Explanation:
If Gallium loses 3 electrons, it will become an ion.
The ion will be positively charged because in this new ion, the number of electrons is lesser than the number of protons. The charge difference will impart a positive net charge on the ion.
- In a neutral atom, the number of electrons and protons are the same.
- For positively charged ions, the number of protons is greater than the electrons
If Gallium the loss of 3 electrons offsets the charge balance in the chemical specie. Thus, the ion will have a net +3 charge.
Answer:
Sodium hydroxide
Explanation:
Sodium hydroxide ( NaOH ) -
Sodium hydroxide is an inorganic compound , and is also called caustic soda and lye .
It is an ionic compound , which is white in color and is in solid state .
The cation and anion of this salt are the sodium cation Na⁺ and the hydroxide anions OH⁻ .
<u>It is highly basic in nature and is soluble in water , and when left open in air it can readily absorb moisture from the air , to form a hydrated sodium hydroxide .</u>
Lets take a moment to list all the characteristics of the group 18 (also known as noble gases and/or group 8) elements:
- They have 8 valence electrons.
- Don't need ANY more electrons because their octet is full (stable).
- Are stable
- Not reactive
- Known as the noble gases
Now.. lets take some time to think about why elements want to form ions:
Elements form ions to either gain or lose valence electrons to the element they bond with. This helps them GAIN a full octet. What is a full octet, you may ask? An octet is when an element has all 8 valence electrons and is stable, making it nonreactive.
Why would an element with a full octet want to bond? It already has a full octet, it does not need to bond.
That, my fellow Brainly user, is why the noble gases do not need to bond.
I really do hope this helps! Enjoy, and good luck on the studies.
