Answer:
Atoms consist of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).
Explanation:
First off chlorine is not a metal so you can ignore that one.
Sodium and Rubidium are in group 1 of the periodic table and Magnesium is in group 2.
Group one metals are more reactive than group two because it is harder for the group two metals to lose their 2 valence (outer most) electrons.
As you go down group 1 there is an increase in the reactivity this is because as you go down there is an increase in the atomic radius which leads to more shielding. This weakens the electrostatic forces of attraction making it easier to lose the outermost electrons, therefore they are more reactive.
Cu + 2H2SO4 ⟶ CuSO4 + SO2 + 2H20
In left hand side of the equation.
Cu = 1 atom
H = 4 atoms
S = 2 atoms
O = 8 atoms
In right hand side of the equation.
Cu = 1 atom
S = 2 atoms
0 = 8 atoms
H = 4 atoms
• All the atoms are balanced in the left and right side of the equation and it satisfies the law of conservation of mass.
• Equation is balanced and correct.
