Using electron configurations, explain why the halogens readily react with the alkali metals to form salts

Chemistry

Alika [10]2 years ago

Halogen react with alkali metals because of their valence electrons. Halogens are just one electron short of being a stable wanna be "noble gas" so they "take or borrow" an electron. alkali metals have one too many valence electrons to be a noble gas, so they "give or lend" an electron.

this is why they are so compatible.
EXAMPLE

NaCl= Na+ +Cl-

Sodium(Na) "gives" its extra electron in order to become stable and Chlorine(Cl) "takes" Na extra electron in order to become stable

5. Hydrochloric Acid + Sodium Hydroxide à Sodium<br> Chloride +
erma4kov [3.2K]

HCl Acid + Sodium Hydroxide ----> Sodium  Chloride + water.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The reaction between an acid and a base is known as a neutralization reaction. The reaction of an acid with a base to give salt, water and heat is called neutralization.
  • When hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide, sodium chloride and water are produced.  

                             HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O + Heat

  • The heat evolved in the neutralization reaction raises the temperature of the reaction mixture.    
  • An electro-electrodialysis process (EED) is utilized to create HCl and NaOH from exchange NaCl. NaOH and HCl arrangements with purity higher than 99.9% are acquired. The experimental estimations of the transitions for HCl and NaOH are contrasted and values determined from the incorporation of the Nernst–Planck electro dispersion conditions.
