Elements are ionized because they aspire to be stable. The most stable form are the ones with full octet of electrons, the noble gases which consist of the last column in the periodic table. The rest of the elements either accept or readily donate electrons to conform to the electronic configuration that is the same with the nearest noble gas.

1. Potassium's nearest noble gas is Ar which is one electron fewer. So, when ionized, it donates 1 electron. Hence, K⁺.
2. The nearest noble gas for fluorine is Neon which is 1 electron more. Hence, it has to accept one more electron. Hence, F⁻.

A heat energy of 645 J is applied to a sample of glass with a mass of 28.4 g. Its temperature increases from –11.6 ∞C to 15.5 ∞C
Anika [276]
The heat that is required to raise the temperature of an object is calculated through the equation,
                        heat = mass x specific heat x (T2 - T1)
Specific heat is therefore calculated through the equation below,
                                specific heat = heat / (mass x (T2 - T1))
Substituting,
                                specific heat = 645 J / ((28.4 g)(15.5 - - 11.6))
The value of specific heat from above equation is 0.838 J/g°C.

A scientist has isolated a fatty acid that has 26 carbons bonded together. most of the carbon atoms in the chain are connected b
Tasya [4]
This is a monounsaturated fatty acid .
Saturated fatty acids are those where all the C atoms are bonded by single bonds.
When they are bonded by single bonds, each C has the maximum amount of H atoms it can bond to. It’s then saturated with H atoms.
When there are fatty acids with double bonds, then they are called unsaturated bonds as they don’t have the maximum number of H atoms.
The fatty acid in the question all the C atoms are bonded by single bonds except for one double bond , therefore it’s monounsaturated fatty acid

What is the mass of 1.5 x 10^21 silicon atoms?
MArishka [77]

Answer:

0. 070g

Mass of 1 Si atom =28.08/6.022*1023

So mass 1.5 *1021*4.6629*10-23
