Which elements have atoms that are likely to form an anion?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

Phosphorus, chlorine and selenium.

Explanation:

If you look at a periodic table, you will notice that phosphorus, chlorine and selenium are all in groups 15-17. Elements in these groups are more likely to gain electrons then they are to lose them, thus making them more likely to form an anion.
This is because they want to fill their outer valence shell of electrons so that they can have a full octet and for groups 15-17 it’s easier to gain 1-3 electrons then it is to loose 5-7 electrons.

Which property would be characteristic of a non-metal?

RideAnS [48]

I think the answer is B.
I know the answer cant be A because a lot of metal that is new can be shiny.
C is incorrect because malleable means that it can be permanently bent out of shape ( which metal can be )
D is incorrect because a lot of metal can conduct electricity for example copper and brass can both conduct electricity

Suppose an aluminum- nuclide transforms into a phosphorus- nuclide by absorbing an alpha particle and emitting a neutron. Comple

AfilCa [17]

Explanation:

An alpha particles is basically a helium nucleus and it contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

Symbol of an alpha particle is $^{4}_{2}\alpha$ . Whereas a neutron is represented by a symbol $^{1}_{0}n$ , that is, it has zero protons and only 1 neutron.

Therefore, reaction equation when an aluminum- nuclide transforms into a phosphorus- nuclide by absorbing an alpha particle and emitting a neutron is as follows.

$^{27}_{13}Al + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{30}_{15}P + ^{1}_{0}n$
