11. What is another name for the transition metals? Group B elements noble gases Group A elements Group C elements

finlep [7]

Answer:

Group B elements

Explanation:

Group B metals are referred to as transition metals. They are located in the middle of the periodic table between Group IIA and Group IIIA. They provide transition between the "base formers" on the left and "acid formers" on the right.

Do you think one mole of the different substances has the same amount?

vagabundo [1.1K]

It's because of Avagadro's number.

It is known as Avagadro's constant too.
It states that at constant temperature one mole of any substance contain same number of atoms i.e n no of atoms

where

$\\ \sf\longmapsto n=6.022\times 10^{23}$

Determine the number of protons, electrons, neutrons, valence electrons and valency in Oxygen atom (O) and Oxide ion (O2-). Comp

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Atom (O) Ion (O²⁻)

Protons 8 8

Electrons 8 10

Neutrons 8 8 ← only for the oxygen-16 isotope.

* The number of neutrons depends on the specific isotope. It is equal to the mass number of the isotope less the number of protons.

Explanation:

Oxygen is the element with atomic number 8. That means that the oxygen atoms have 8 protons.

Protons have relative positive charge equal to +1 and electrons have relative negative charge -1: same magnitude opposite sign.

Thus, the neutral oxygen, O, has also 8 electrons and 8 protons.

As per the number neutrons it depends on the specific isotope.

The isotopes are identified by the mass number, which is the number of protons plus neutrons. For instance, oxygen-16 isotope has mass number 16, 8 protons and 8 neutrons, while oxygen-15 isotope has mass number 15, 8 protons and 7 neutrons.

Oxide ion O²⁻ is the oxygen ion with -2 charge, meaning that it has 2 more electrons than protons. Then, it has 8 protons and 10 electrons, again the number of neutrons depend of the specific isotope.

The stability of an atoms or ion refers to its trend to remain in the same state or react to form another species. The ions O²⁻ are less stable than the neutral atoms O, because the negative charge will be attracted to any positive ion so ti will react faster than the neutral oxygen atom (O).

Please help me with this!: Beverages such as pop and fizzy water are carbonated by dissolved CO2. Explain in detail why pop will

brilliants [131]

Answer:

If the cap is left off, some of the dissolved CO2 can escape as gas from the bottle, making the pop go flat faster (less dissolved CO2 in pop). If the cap is placed tightly, the gaseous CO2 cannot readily escape the bottle thus your pop won't go flat

Explanation:

If the cap is left off, some of the dissolved CO2 can escape as gas from the bottle, making the pop go flat faster. If the cap is placed tightly, the gaseous CO2 cannot readily escape the bottle thus your pop won't go flat.

Just some fun related concept:

A similar concept comes into play for the reason behind why pop tastes better in fridge then just keeping at normal temperature. This is because gases tend to have high solubility at cold temperatures thus CO2 is more readily dissolved in fridge than outside room temperature which is why it tastes great!

Diatomic O2 can react with the element magnesium to form magnesium oxide (MgO). The balanced chemical equation is: 2Mg + O2 → 2M

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

We will expect 4 moles of MgO to be formed (option b).

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

2Mg + O2 → 2MgO

Step 2: Data given

Number of moles of Magnesium = 4 moles

Oxygen = in excess → this means Magnesium is the limiting reactant

Magnesium will completely be consumed ( 4 moles). There will remain 0 moles.

For 2 moles of magnesium consumed, we need 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of MgO.

For 4 moles of magnesium, we need 4/2 = 2 moles of oxygen.

For 4 moles of magnesium, we will produce 4/1 = 4 moles of MgO

We will expect 4 moles of MgO to be formed (option b).
