A negative ion or anion is an electrically charged atom or group of atoms that are formed by gaining one or more electrons. Whereas a positive ion or cation is an electrically charged atom or group of atoms that are formed by losing one or more electrons.
The losing and gaining all occurs on the outermost shell.
Answer:
It can't be done.
Explanation:
If you have only 5.4 g of oxygen, the most lithium oxide you can get is 7.7 g.
Only 2.3 g of lithium will react. and the other 22.3 g of lithium will not be used.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Since [pKa = - log Ka]....hence..,the larger the Ka value,the stronger the acid is..so this means that the pKa is vice versa
Saying that the smaller the pKa value..the stronger the acid is.
Answer is: lithium is the least reactive and potassium is the most reactive of the three alkali elements.
<span>The </span>reactivity<span> of the alkali metals increases down the group because one valence electron (I group of Periodic system of elements) is farther away from nucleus and attraction force between electron and proton is weaker.</span>
