Why do Group 12 elements have different properties than Group 13 elements?

1 answer:

6 0

Group 12 Elements have two valence electrons while Group 13 Elements have three valence electrons.
Number of valence electrons tend to determine factors like reactivity. So elements with different number of valence electrons will have different properties.
That is why G12 and G13 have different properties

If you add a solution of NaOH to a solution of H₂CO₃, two reactions occur, one after the other. Write the chemical equations for

Crazy boy [7]

We have a solution of NaOH and H₂CO₃

First, NaOH will dissociate into Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions

The Na⁺ ion will substitute one of the Hydrogen atoms on H₂CO₃ to form NaHCO₃

The H⁺ released from the substitution will bond with the OH⁻ ion to form a water molecule

If there were to be another NaOH molecule, a similar substitution will take place, substituting the second hydrogen from H₂CO₃ as well to form Na₂CO₃

artcher [175]

Nitrogen fixation is the process that makes atmospheric nitrogen available to plants by mutualistic and free-living bacteria. The process is undertaken by the rhizobium bacteria that live in root roots of plants such as legumes. The mutualistic relationship is that the plant supplies the bacteria with a habitat in which to live, water, and nutrients, and the bacteria supply nitrogen for making plant proteins.
