Question
Chapter 28, Problem 16Q
To determine
ToDetermine:
The similarity in chemical properties of Potassium and Sodium.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 16Q
Solution:
This is because of similar electronic configurations of both Sodium and Potassium.
Explanation of Solution
The chemical properties of an element are primarily a function of its electronic configuration. Sodium and Potassium are both univalent metals, as they have one electron in the outermost shells. This implies that both are:
1. Univalent cations.
2. Noble gas configuration after losing one electron.
Therefore, their properties are very similar.
