Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium....etc have two valence electrons
Answer:
A cation has more protons than electrons, consequently giving it a net positive charge. For a cation to form, one or more electrons must be lost, typically pulled away by atoms with a stronger affinity for them.
Were i found my answer: Cation vs Anion: Definition, Chart and the Periodic Table
Explanation:
The balanced chemical reaction is:
<span>2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2
</span><span>
We first use the amount of hydrogen gas to be produced and the molar mass of the hydrogen gas to determine the amount in moles to be produced. Then, we use the relation from the reaction to relate H2 to Na.
53.2 g H2 ( 1 mol / 2.02 g ) ( 2 mol Na / 1 mol H2 ) ( 22.99 g / 1 mol ) = 1210.96 g Na
1210.96 g Na ( 1 mL / 0.97 g ) = 1248.41 mL Na needed</span>
Answer : The mass defect required to release energy is 6111.111 kg
Explanation :
To calculate the mass defect for given energy released, we use Einstein's equation:
E = Energy released = 
= mass change = ?
c = speed of light = 
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:
Therefore, the mass defect required to release energy is 6111.111 kg
