Alkali Metals Introduction Alkali metals refer to six elements belonging to the Group IA of the long form of the Modern Periodic Table‚ viz. Lithium (Li)‚ Sodium (Na)‚ Potassium (K)‚ Rubidium (Rb)‚ Cesium (Cs) and Francium (Fr). Fr is a radioactive element. These elements are called so because they form strongly alkaline oxides and hydroxides. Electronic Configuration of Alkali Metals Each of the alkali metals has one electron in their outermost (valence) shell‚ which is just outside an inert

Ionic bonding is known as a type of chemical bond where the valence electrons are lost from one atom and gained by another. This exchange results in a more from one atom and gained by another. When an atom gains or loses electrons while being bonded with another atom an ion is formed. This bond causes an atom to become either a positive or negative ion. Electrons have a negative charge‚ meaning that if an atom loses an electron‚ the amount of protons are greater than electrons. This makes the atom

Naming Chemical Compounds General Information: Scientists all around the globe use a standard method for naming chemical compounds. The standards were set up by an international committee sponsored by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Having this standard makes life easier for people who use these compounds everyday. It would be tough to set up any experiment if scientists everywhere used different names for the same compound. It would also make the lab a

COrdination compounds Question 9.1: Explain the bonding in coordination compounds in terms of Werner’s postulates. =Werner’s postulates explain the bonding in coordination compounds as follows: (i) A metal exhibits two types of valencies namely‚ primary and secondary valencies. Primary valencies are satisfied by negative ions while secondary valencies are satisfied by both negative and neutral ions. (In modern terminology‚ the primary valency corresponds to the oxidation number of the metal ion‚ whereas

The purpose of this experiment is to work with aqueous solutions of ionic substances. Aqueous solutions are those solutions in which water is the solvent. When ionic substances are dissolved in water‚ the ions separate and become surrounded by water molecules. The focus of this experiment is on precipitates. The goal of this experiment is to study the nature of ionic reactions‚ write balanced equations‚ and to write net ionic equations for precipitation reactions. Based on the solubility rules my

Chemistry 2 Jorge Nuñez Ms. Principe / Period 2 February 8th‚ 2011 Aim: How are we going to determine the empirical formula of a compound? Do Now: 1) What is the percent by mass of oxygen in H2C2O4? H2 = 2(1) = 2 ; C2 = 2(12) = 24 ; O4 = 4(16) = 96 Gram Formula Mass = 90 Percentage of Oxygen = 6490 x 100 = 71% 2) Calculate the percentage of water: -Mass of empty crucible and cover = 11.7g -Mass of crucible‚ cover‚ and hydrate before heating = 14.9g -Mass of crucible

Lab: Ionic and Covalent Bonds Objectives • Understand the differences between ionic and covalent bonds. • Connect ionic and covalent bonds with physical properties of matter. Introduction Sugar and salt look so similar that most people cannot tell them apart without tasting them. Chemically‚ white refined table sugar‚ sucrose‚ and salt are very different. An ionic bond between a positive sodium ion and a negative chloride ion creates a molecule of sodiumchloride (NaCl). Covalent bonds between

*Compound Interest/Discount* Compound Interest When you borrow money from a bank‚ you pay interest. Interest is really a fee charged for borrowing the money‚ it is a percentage charged on the principle amount for a period of a year - usually. If you want to know how much interest you will earn on your investment or if you want to know how much you will pay above the cost of the principal amount on a loan or mortgage‚ you will need to understand how compound interest works. * Compound interest
