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

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

Na+ and Cl- are ions formed from _____.
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer : Na^+ and Cl^- are the ions formed from the NaCl salt dissolve in water.

Explanation :

The NaCl salt is formed when positive sodium ions bonded to the negative chloride ions.

When NaCl dissolves in water, the negative part of water attract the positive sodium ions and positive part of water attract the negative chloride ions.

A student checks the air in her bicycle tires early in the morning when it is cool outside. If she measures it again later in th
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

She will observe that the pressure on the tire is higher.

Explanation:

By the ideal gas law, the pressure and the temperature are directly proportional, so, if the temperature increases the pressure increases too:

PV = nRT (P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature).

The temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules, so when the temperature increases, the energy also increases, and the gas molecules will move more quickly, so they will collide more often between themselves and in the wall. Those collisions will be with more force because the velocity is higher.

So, the pressure will be higher, because it is the result of collisions of the gas molecules with the walls of the tire.

Draw the condensed structural formula in the equation for the saponification of trimyristin with koh
Ludmilka [50]

Explanation: Saponification reaction is a reaction in which hydrolysis of fats takes place under basic conditions giving glycerol and a salt of corresponding fatty acid.

We are given a Fatty acid called as Trimyristin.

Its reaction with KOH leads to the formation of soap and is given by the equation:

Trimyristin+3 KOH\rightarrow Glycerol+Soap

C_{45}H_{86}O_6+3KOH\rightarrow C_3H_5(OH)_3+3CH_3(CH_2)_{12}CO_2K

The condensed structural formula for the equation is given in the image attached.
