Calcium has the greatest mass of the first twenty elements with a mass of approximately 40.08
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: 8 moles
Explanation:
Nc2H6= 4 mol
2C2H6 + 7O2 → 4CO2+6H2O
CO2=4/2⋅4
NCO2= 8 moles
( I write this on paper so the letters and format might be confusing) sorry!!
I think the given is 3 g sample of NaHCO3. then if it will be reacted with an acid, it will produce H2CO3.
so the reaction NaHCO3 + HCl --> NaCl + H2CO3
mas of H2CO3 = 3 g NaHCO3 ( 1 mol NaHCO3 / 84 g ) ( 1 mol H2CO3 / 1 mol NaHCO3) ( 62.03 g / 1 mol )
mass of H2CO3 = 2.22 g H2CO3
