Answer:

The cation produced in this way, Na +, is called the sodium ion to distinguish it from the neutral element. Because the ion has 11 positive protons and 10 negative electrons, there is a net positive charge.

¿El agua salada es una mezcla homogénea o heterogénea?
Sedbober [7]

The question is in another language, so the English translation of the question is as follows:

Is salt-water a hom.ogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?

Answer:

Hom.ogenous mixture

Explanation:

There are two types of mixtures hom.ogenous and hetergenous.  a heterogeneous mixture has two or more visible phases while a hom.ogeneous mixture is composed of a single visible phase.

The salt-water is hom.ogeneous because the solve dissolve evenly in throughout the entire salt-water sample and gives visible phase.

Hence, the correct option is "hom.ogenous mixture".

What is the percent by weight of sodium in sodium sulfate (Na2SO4)? (The molar mass of Na = 22.99, S = 32.07, and O = 16.00.) 16
34kurt
The total mass would be 142.05 g/mol. Since sodium is 22.99 g/mol and there are 2 sodium atoms, it would be 45.98 g/mol. Divide 45.98 by 142.05 and you get 32.37%

What are Metals that are less reactive than alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals called
Margaret [11]

Transition metals are less reactive than alkali metals because of their high ionization potential and high melting point.

On moving from left to right of the periodic table for every period, electrons fill in the same shell or orbital, with the alkali metals having the least filled outermost shells, one electron, which equates to fewer protons in them.

Consequently, they have a lesser attraction power from the nucleus, whereas, the corresponding transition metals of the same period have more protons interacting with electrons at the same distance, far from the nucleus as the alkali metals.
