The elements in the periodice table are not listed in alphabetical order, because the arragement in rows (periods) and columns (groups or familes), in increasing order of atomic number (number of protons of the atoms) permits to explain similarities among the elements, trend in some properties, and even predict properties of unknown elements.
For example, the elements of the first group (family), called alkaline metals, all have 1 valence electron, have similar physical properties (ductibility, malleability, luster, thermal and electricity conductivity), react in similar way with water, show a trend in the atomic radii and in the ionization energy.
You can tell similar stories for other groups like, alkalyne earth metals, halogens and noble gases.
You can also tell trends in electroneativities, and atomic radii, for a row of elements, as per the order they are in the row.
So, the current array resulted very helpul for chemists to explain and predict the behavior and properties of the elements.
Answer:
CaCl₂(s) ⟶ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)
Explanation:
When the calcium chloride dissolves. the calcium and chloride ions leave the surface of the solid and go into solution as hydrated ions.
A fusion reaction can be regarded as the type of reaction that occurs where two lighter elements come together in a type of reaction giving rise to a heavier/more massive element.
A fusion reaction always creates a more massive atomic nucleus (option c).
When the two lighter nuclei comes together in a reaction, a more heavier/massive nucleus is formed but its mass will still be less than the combined mass of the two reactant nuclei.
This also indicates that the left over mass may have been released as energy.
