The correct answer is a metal atom forms a cation, and a nonmetal atom forms an anion. This is because metals are less electronegative than nonmetals and will therefore give electrons to nonmetals. Atoms that give up electrons will have a positive charge therefore becoming a cation while atoms that accept electrons will have a negative charge therefore becoming an anion.
Ions that have the same charge can't be attracted to each other since it takes a positive and negative charge to cause attractive forces.
A less electronegative atom will transfer electrons to a more electronegative atom.
A metal (cation) can pull electrons from another metal (not an ion) but that does not form an attractive force between the two metals (You will learn more about this when you go over reduction potentials, redox reactions, and electrochemistry).
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
Answer:
I think it's B
Explanation:
I dont have much experience with the periodic table, but I just think its B.
Answer:
moles of carbon dioxide produced are 410.9 mol.
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of C₆H₁₄O₂ = 16.5 g
Moles of O₂ = 499 mol
Moles of CO₂ = ?
First of all we will write the balance chemical equation.
2C₆H₁₄O₂ + 17O₂ → 14CO₂ + 12H₂O
moles of C₆H₁₄O₂ = mass × molar mass
moles of C₆H₁₄O₂ = 16.5 g × 118 g/mol
moles of C₆H₁₄O₂ = 1947 mol
Now we compare the moles of CO₂ with moles of O₂ and C₆H₁₄O₂ from balance chemical equation.
O₂ : CO₂
17 : 14
499 : 14/17× 499 = 410.9 moles
C₆H₁₄O₂ : CO₂
2 : 14
1947 : 14/2× 1947 = 13629 moles
Oxygen will be limiting reactant so moles of carbon dioxide produced are 410.9 mol.
