Answer:
Explanation:
Edit the reaction by drawing all steps in the appropriate boxes and connecting them with reaction arrows. Add charges where needed. Electron flow arrows should start on the electron(s) of an atom or a bond and should end on an atom, bond, or location where a new bond should be created. Include all free radicals by right-clicking on an atom on the canvas and then using the Atom properties to select the monovalent radical.
Pretty much, for solids draw the molecules close together and rigid, for liquids, the molecules are spaced apart a little and not all lined up
a) Group 2 elements have 2 electrons on their outer shell, so they form a 2+ charge.
b) they lose 2 electrons as they are transferred to the non metal.
c)They obtain this charge as when they are made into an ionic compound the 2 electrons on the outer shell are transferred to the non metal, meaning there are 2 more protons that electrons, giving it a positive charge.
hope this helps! :)
Answer:
2KI → 2K + I₂
Explanation:
(not my definition, but form a trustworthy source)
The definition of a decomposition reaction is:
a chemical reaction in which one reactant breaks down into two or more products.
In this case, potassium iodide will decompose into potassium and iodine.
2KI → 2K + 2I
2 Potassium and 2 Iodine on both sides, so equation is balanced.
Or, it can be written as 2KI → 2K + I₂
