In terms of valence electrons, explain why metals form positive ions.

Chemistry
1 answer:
diamong [38]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Metal elements form positively charged ions called cations because they are located on the left side of the periodic table These elements all have valence electrons in an s orbital. These electrons are relatively easy for the atom to lose to achieve a stable octet of electrons in its outermost energy shell.

Why do you think that scientists in the 20th century thought that it was important to “unlock” the structures of the atom?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The 20th century saw huge advances in our understanding and use of the nucleus. For instance, in 1939 scientists Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch discovered nuclear fission – a process by which radioactive materials release energy when they are induced to split.

Realising the huge amount of energy that such a reaction produces, scientists were tasked with developing this new knowledge initially for harm in nuclear weapons. Just six years after fission’s discovery, it was harnessed in the atom bombs that destroyed the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and controversially ended the Second World War. Later, much more powerful hydrogen bombs were developed that combined fission with the process powering the Sun – fusion.

Hope this helps! PLEASE GIVE ME BRAINLIEST!!!!! =)

Use molecular structure and intermolecular bonding to describe why bromine has a lower boiling point than water
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Bromine mollecules are held together by van der waals forces while a water molecule constitutes both van der waals forces and hydrogen bomnding

Explanation:

This makes the water molecule recquire more heat energy to break the bond thus a higher boiling point while bromine structure requires just litttle heat energy

How many grams of ca are needed to react completely with 2.20 L of a 4.50 m hcl solution
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Ca + 2HCl = CaCl₂ + H₂

c=4.50 mol/l
v=2.20 l

n(HCl)=cv

m(Ca)/M(Ca)=n(HCl)/2

m(Ca)=M(Ca)cv/2

m(Ca)=40g/mol·4.50mol/l·2.20l/2=198 g

198 grams of Ca are needed
