Which statement correctly compares an atom of an alkali metal with an atom of the alkaline earth metal next to it on the periodic table?

the alkali metal atom forms a +1 ion, while the alkaline earth metal atom forms a +2 ion.
the alkali metal atom forms a +2 ion, while the alkaline earth metal atom forms a +1 ion.
the alkali metal atom has one less shell of electrons than the atom of the alkaline earth metal.
the alkali metal atom has one more shell of electrons than the atom of the alkaline earth metal.

A) The alkali metal atom forms a +1 ion, while the alkaline earth metal atom forms a +2 ion.

Explanation:

Let's evaluate each answer.

A: The alkali metal atom forms a +1 ion, while the alkaline earth metal atom forms a +2 ion.

This means that the alkali metal atom has to lose 1 valence electron to form a +1 ion while the alkaline earth metal atom has to lose 2 valence electrons to form a +2 ion. This is accurate because alkali metal atoms have 1 valence electron while alkaline earth metal atoms have 2, so the statement is correct.

B: The alkali metal atom forms a +2 ion, while the alkaline earth metal atom forms a +1 ion.

This would mean that the alkali metal atom has to lose 2 valence electrons to form a +2 ion, while the alkaline earth metal has to lose 1 valence electron to form a +1 ion. This is incorrect because alkali metal atoms only have 1 valence electron and will become a +1 ion when losing that electron, while alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons and will form a +2 ion upon losing them.

C: The alkali metal atom has one less shell of electrons than the atom of the alkaline earth metal.

This would mean that the alkali metal atom would be located one period higher up than the alkaline earth metal atom. This is untrue, because the question states that the alkali metal atom is located directly next to the alkaline earth metal atom, so they have the same amount of electron shells.

D: The alkali metal atom has one more shell of electrons than the atom of the alkaline earth metal.

This would mean that the alkali metal atom would be located one period lower on the periodic table than the alkaline earth metal atom. Similar to the previous statement, this is untrue because the question states that they are located directly next to each other, or on the same period.

The alkali metal atom forms a +1 ion, while the alkaline earth metal atom forms a +2 ion.

Explanation: Group 1 elements are called as alkali metals and group 2 elements are called as alkaline earth metals.

For example, Li is an alkali metal and Be is an alkaline earth metal.

Lithium(Li) has an atomic number of 3 and the electronic configuration is:

Li:

Thus lithium has to lose 1 electron and acquire 1+ charge to attain nearest noble gas configuration.

Berrylium(Be) has an atomic number of 4 and the electronic configuration is:

Be:

Thus berrylium has to lose 2 electrons and acquire 2+ charge to attain nearest noble gas configuration.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The input force is 50 N. But it will not create not any change. No mechanical advantage is observed.

Answer:

Taking into accoun the ideal gas law, The volume of a container that contains 24.0 grams of N2 gas at 328K and 0.884 atm is 26.07 L.

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that is considered to be composed of point particles that move randomly and do not interact with each other. Gases in general are ideal when they are at high temperatures and low pressures.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:  

P×V = n×R×T

where P is the gas pressure, V is the volume that occupies, T is its temperature, R is the ideal gas constant, and n is the number of moles of the gas. The universal constant of ideal gases R has the same value for all gaseous substances.

Explanation:

In this case, you know:

P= 0.884 atm

V= ?

n= 0.857 moles (where 28 g/mole is the molar mass of N₂, that is, the amount of mass that the substance contains in one mole.)

R=0.082

T= 328 K

Replacing in the ideal gas law:

0.884 atm×V= 0.857 moles× 0.082 ×328 K

Solving:

V= 26.07 L

The volume of a container that contains 24.0 grams of N2 gas at 328K and 0.884 atm is 26.07 L.
