Stability of atoms is determined by neutron:proton ratio. This n/p ratio is 1:1 for elements below atomic number 20. Hope this helps.
Answer:
Group 1 or akali metals have the greatest metallic property.
Group 17 has the lowest metallic character.
C. As you move from right to lefton the periodic table, metallic character increases which is the ability to lose electrons. Ionization energy decrease as we move from right to left on the periodic table.
Explanation:
Akali metals in group 1 have the greatest metallic property and they are the most reactive metals. Francium metal on the group has the most metallic characteristics. It is rare and very radioactive. Group 17 has the lowest metallic character. This is because while moving across the period, the number of electrons in the outermost shell increases. This make it difficult for atoms to leave see electrons and become electropositive . Group 17 has the highest tendency of accepting electrons.
Ionization energy is the energy use to remove electron from an atom in gaseous stage. Ionization energy decrease as we move from right to left on the periodic table and metallic character increases as we move from right to left on the periodic table.
Answer:
Alkali metal hydroxides can be used to test the identity of metals in certain salts. The colour of the precipitate will help identify the metal : Calcium hydroxide is soluble; no precipitate is formed.
Answer:
Exothermic
Explanation:
I think it is exothermic because heat is being released
