- Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of solid lithium with liquid water?arrow_forwardThe periodic table is the most important organizing principle in chemistry. There is a regular progression in the periodic table that reflects a similar regularity in the structures and properties of the different elements. If you know the properties of any one element in a group, you can make a good guess at the properties of every other element in the same group and even the elements in neighboring groups. Familiarizing yourself with the structure and arrangement of the periodic table early on will help you later on in chemistry.

- Zinc in its 2+ oxidation state is an essential metal ion for life. Zn2+ is found bound to many proteins that are involved in biological processes, but unfortunately Zn2+ is hard to detect by common chemical methods. Therefore, scientists who are interested in studying Zn2+- containing proteins will frequently substitute Cd2+ for Zn2+ since Cd2+ is easier to detect. Based on the properties from this chapter and their positions in the periodic tables, provide one pro and one con of using Cd2+ as a Zn2+ substitute?arrow_forwardGive a reason why hydrogen might be placed along with the group 1A elements of the periodic table.arrow_forward6 The elements of the Periodic Table are created by a variety of processes discussed in the Astronomy course (nucleosynthesis).

Use that knowledge to answer the questions in the following table, if possible. Important: do not try to figure out exactly which elements are marked, and then use your knowledge of the properties of each specific element. You don't need to. You will also be marked wrong for any answer, correct or not, that can't be determined from the rough location of each marked element in the Periodic Table.
