Answer:
A. They must be kept separate from moisture and oxygen
Explanation:
Alkali metals refers to a group of chemical elements in the periodic table. It is the common name given to Group 1 elements (excluding hydrogen). They are generally metallic in nature with physical properties like shining lustre, silvery in appearance etc. Alkali metals include lithium, Pottasium, Sodium, Rubidium etc.
One important chemical property of alkali metals is their high reactivity i.e. they tend to react quickly with other substances. For example, alkali metals react vigorously with water to form hydroxides. They also react with oxygen to form oxides. Due to this highly reactive properties, they are kept or stored away from moisture (water) and oxygen (present in air).
Answer:c
Explanation:
i think that what is was for me
Explanation:
Many meteorites have iron or nickel in them, so they are heavier (and denser) than Earth rocks. Some meteorites have pits (regmaglypts) on the outside, which look like deep thumbprints. Meteorites are not bubbly, and do not have holes. Meteorite are usually not round.
1. a. FeS + 2HCl --> FeCl2 + H2S
b. This is a double- replacement reaction. (The elements "switch partners".)
2. a.2Na + F2 --> 2NaF
b. This is a composition/synthesis reaction. (The two reactants are combining or synthesizing to make one product.)
3. a. 2HgO --> 2Hg + O2
b. This is a decomposition reaction. (The single reactant is breaking down or "decomposing" into multiple reactants.)
4. Hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to create water in a composition/synthesis reaction.
I hope these answers will help you! If you need any explanation, ask and hopefully I can get back to you. ;)
Answer: A: high ionization energies; high electron affinitlies.
Explanation: Covalent bonds are basically about sharing of electrons between two atoms to achieve that stable structure. They are formed between two atoms when both have similar tendencies to attract electrons to themselves (i.e., when both atoms have identical or fairly similar ionization energies and electron affinities). Covalent bonding usually occurs between two non-metals.
For effective and proper bonding, the two atoms involved in the covalent bonding exercise should be small and hungry for electrons. This is to enable the nuclei of both atoms to effectively attract and hold the shared electron(s) in place; hence, the need for high ionization energies & high electron affinities for a more effective covalent bonding.
