Potassium metal is indeed more reactive than lithium metal, because potassium has a more loosely bound valence electron. In direct reactions, potassium reacts more violently than lithium.

Explain how and the type of a bond that forms between sodium and chlorine in sodium chloride (NaCl)
Alexandra [31]

Explanation:

Sodium has 1 electron in its outermost shell, and chlorine has 7 electrons. It is easiest for sodium to lose its electron and form a +1 ion, and for chlorine to gain an electron, forming a -1 ion.

<em>Now ionic bonds areIons are formed by atoms that have non-full outermost electron shells in order to become more like the noble gases in Group 8 of the Periodic Table,</em>

<em>Now ionic bonds areIons are formed by atoms that have non-full outermost electron shells in order to become more like the noble gases in Group 8 of the Periodic Table,Some atoms add electrons to get a full shell, thus becoming a negative ion. Other atoms subtract electrons from their outermost shell, leaving a full </em><em>shell and an overall positive charge..</em>

A 0.500 g sample of tin (Sn) is reacted with oxygen to give 0.534 g of product. What is the empirical formula of the oxide?
larisa [96]

Answer:

Sn_2O

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the mass of the sample and mass of tin we can compute the mass of oxygen via:

m_O=0.534g-0.500g=0.034g

Thus, by using the atomic bas of tin and oxygen we can compute their moles:

n_{Sn}=0.500gSn*\frac{1molSn}{118.8gSn} =0.00421mol\\\\n_O=0.034gO*\frac{1molO}{16gO}=0.002125mol

Next, we need to divide both moles by the moles of oxygen as those are the smallest in order to compute the subscript in the chemical reaction:

Sn=\frac{0.00421}{0.002125}=2\\ \\O=\frac{0.002125}{0.002125}= 1

Therefore, empirical formula of the oxide should be:

Sn_2O

Best regards.
