(a)
Interpretation:
Ion that is likely to be formed from potassium has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Atoms of the element are neutral. They tend to lose or gain electrons in order to attain the stable octet configuration of the noble gas. Generally metals loses electrons and nonmetals gains electrons. Elements that are present in Group 1 to Group 13 tend to lose electrons until the noble-gas configuration of the noble gas present in previous period is attained. Elements that is present in Group 14 to Group 17 gain electron till the valence shell has the noble-gas electronic configuration. Metallic elements form cations while nonmetallic elements form anions.
Charge of the anion formed from main group element can be calculated by finding
(b)
Interpretation:
Ion that is likely to be formed from sulfur has to be given.

- Can someone draw a reaction mechanism of this reaction please I was told that the boc l alanine is deprotonated first and acts as the nucleophile attacking the EDCL and can you please show all the intermediates and side products and the water at the endarrow_forwardX- 22.5 d 33.0 d P17E.3 Two radioactive nuclides decay by successive first-order processes: → Y → Z (the quantities over the arrows are the half-lives in days). Suppose that Y is an isotope that is required for medical applications. At what time after X is first formed will Y be most abundant?arrow_forwardUse solubility rules to complete balance molecular equations, and provide total and net ionic equations.
