Answer:

Alkali metals are among the most reactive metals. This is due in part to their larger atomic radii and low ionization energies. They tend to donate their electrons in reactions and have an oxidation state of +1. ... All these characteristics can be attributed to these elements' large atomic radii and weak metallic bonding.

14. Which of the following is produced when propane (C3H8) is combusted completely? (2 points)

Ymorist [56]

The following is produced when propane (C₃H₈) is combusted completely : H₂O

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Complete combustion of Hydrocarbons with Oxygen will be obtained by CO₂ and H₂O compounds.

If O₂ is insufficient there will be incomplete combustion produced by CO and H and O

Hydrocarbon combustion reactions (especially alkanes) $\large {\boxed {\bold {C_nH _ (_2_n _ + _ 2_) + \frac {3n + 1} {2} O_2 \Rightarrow nCO_2 + (n + 1) H_2O}}}$

For combustion of propane C₃H₈ (n = 3) ⇒ completely(excess O₂) :

C₃H₈+5O₂⇒3CO₂+4H₂O

The products of combustion : CO₂ and H₂O
