What is a cation and where can you find it on the periodic table?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Maslowich2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A cation is an ion with fewer electrons than protons. Therefore, it has a positive charge. The electric charge on a proton is equal in amount to the charge on an electron. Anions are atoms or radicals (groups of atoms), that have gained electrons. Since they now have more electrons than protons, anions have a negative charge. Halogens always form anions, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals always form cations. Most other metals form cations (e.g. iron, silver, nickel), whilst most other nonmetals typically form anions (e.g. oxygen, carbon, sulfur).

Explanation:

An anion and cation cannot be specifically found on the periodic table.

In terms of energy what kind of system is a sealed glass terrarium on a windsill?
Snezhnost [94]
If the sealed glass is permeable to sunlight or to transfer of heat will be an open system, but if the sealed glass is a thermic glass and doesn't allow exchange of heat and exchange of solar energy (for example a mirrored glass that reflect the sunlight) and the terrarium is not exchanging energy with the surroundings will be a closed system. It is a question that doesn't specify too many details about the system in the study. It is hard to give a final answer without making some assumptions.

At the equilibrium point in the decomposition of phosphorus pentachloride to chlorine and phosphorus trichloride, the following
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: K_{eq} for the reaction is 5.55

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each term raised to its stochiometric coefficients.

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                        PCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)          

At eqm. conc.   (0.010) M     (0.15)  M   (0.37) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

K_c=\frac{[Cl_2]\times [PCl_3]}{[PCl_5]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

K_c=\frac{(0.37)\times (0.15)}{(0.010)}

K_c=5.55

Thus the K_{eq} for the reaction is 5.55

What is the relationship between cubic centimeters and milliliters?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

They are same.

Explanation:

These are the same measurement; there is no difference in volume. The primary difference is that milliliters are used for fluid amounts while cubic centimeters are used for solids. No matter what is being measured, 1 cc always equals 1 mL.
