Zinc plus potassium hydroxide?
No reaction, since zinc, which is lower in the electropositive series than potassium, cannot displace potassium from its compounds.
In cellular respiration the electron transport chains is an aerobic process because it cannot function without oxygen?
true because you need oxygen to breath
Why alkalai metals are found as compounds?
Alkali metals, such as sodium and potassium, are highly reactive and tend to combine quickly with other elements in nature to form compounds. This is because they have only one valence electron, which they easily lose to achieve a stable electron configuration. Therefore, it is rare to find pure alkali metals in their elemental form in nature.
How do you mine potassium?
you cannot mine pure potassium but you can mine potassium chloride or as it as Potash ore. These mines are found allover the world where there have been ancient sea that have evaporated and let potassium salts.
How can the electron and protons be broken?
Protons and electrons cannot be disintegrated.
Why is it impossible for sodium to unite chemically with potassium?
Because both sodium and potassium have one electron in their outermost shells, and they need to donate these electrons to become stable. In other words, both of these elements will become positive ions, and neither will accept an electron from the other. They need to bond with atoms which need another electron to fill its outer shell, such as cholorine. Both sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium chloride (KCl) exist because chlorine will accept the extra electrons from sodium or potassium atoms. Bottom line: you cannot bond two atoms that both need to lose electrons to become stable because neither will accept the extra electron from the other.
Why electron microscope cannot be used to study life processes?
because an electron microscope has a vaccum chamber which cannot allow oxygen to pass
Why potassium carbonate cannot be prepared by solvay process?
It is because unlike sodium carbonate potassium carbonate is fairly soluble in water and it does not forms precipitate.
Why is it imposible for sodium to unite chemically with potassium?
Sodium and Potassium belong to group one of the Periodic table. They both contain one electron in their outer shell. They form a chemical bond by donating the outer shell electron to another atom. The other atom will tend to accept electrons rather than donate them. Since sodium and potassium both donate electrons they cannot form a chemical bond with each other.
Which alkaki has neutralised citric acid if the salt potassium nitrate is made?
This question cannot be answered because if you neutralise citric acid you will get a citrate, not a nitrate. To get potassium nitrate you will need the alkali potassium hydroxide and nitric acid.
Observed product from the reaction of Iron II chloride and potassium carbonate?
Ther is no reaction that occurs because potassium is a more active metal and cannot be displaced by the iron (a weaker metal)
Why is the electron in hydrogen not collide with the proton and self destruct.?
electrons are in orbits protons are in nucleus an electron keeps revolving in the orbit because of force of attraction but this electron cannot come into the nucleus where proton and neutron reside.
Why can we not accurately predict where in the electron cloud electrons can be found?
We cannot accurately predict where in the electron cloud electrons can be found because of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This principle states that it is impossible to simultaneously know the exact position and momentum of an electron. As a result, we can only describe the probability distribution or the likelihood of finding an electron in a particular region of the electron cloud.
Does silver react with potassium nitrate?
No silver cannot react. It is less reactive than potassium
Zinc plus potassium hydroxide?
No reaction, since zinc, which is lower in the electropositive series than potassium, cannot displace potassium from its compounds.
What is the core of an electron?
The electron is an elementary particle. This means that it cannot be broken down further. Therefore, an electron does not have a "core".
In cellular respiration the electron transport chains is an aerobic process because it cannot function without oxygen?
true because you need oxygen to breath
