What elements do not go along with lutetium?

Lutetium tends to form compounds with elements that have similar chemical properties, such as other lanthanides and some transition metals. It does not typically form stable compounds with alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, as they have very different chemical properties from lutetium.


Which group of elements is analogous to the lanthanides?

Lanthanide chemistry is dominated by the +3 oxidation state and as such they bear a superfical resemblance to group 13. Lanthanide 3+ ions are larger than those of group 13. Group 13 elemnents Ga, In, Tl also form compounds wher the metal oxidation number is +1. Lanthanides on the other hand can form compunds with formal oxidation number of +2, (in particular Eu) , and +4 (in particular Ce).


Is lanthanide salts dissociate in water?

Yes, lanthanide salts dissociate in water to form lanthanide ions and their corresponding anions. This process is similar to the dissociation of other salts in water, where the cation and anion separate due to the interactions with water molecules.


What are liquids that are able to be mixed?

Liquids that are able to mix with each other are called miscible liquids. Examples include water and vinegar, alcohol and water, and acetone and ethanol. These liquids can form a homogeneous mixture when combined.


Why are Carbon atoms able to form long chains while oxygen atoms cannot?

Carbon atoms are able to form long chains because they can bond to each other through strong covalent bonds, forming stable structures. Oxygen, on the other hand, is more electronegative and tends to form more stable molecules by bonding with other elements like carbon, rather than forming long chains with itself.

Do actinides and lanthanides lose electrons when combining?

Actinides and lanthanides lose electrons and form cations.


Where are lanthanides located on the periodic table?

In most wide form periodic tables, the lanthanides are in a row below the normal part of the table, with a reference showing that all the lanthanides correspond to period 6 column 3. Sometimes the lanthanide element with the lowest atomic number, lanthanum itself, is shown in the main table and the other lanthanides in a row below the main table.


Why do you need to write numbers in different forms?

Because sometimes one form is easier to work with whereas at other times another form is.


What is placed at the bottom of the periodic table because they are too wide to represent the chart form?

f-block elements (lanthanides and actinides)


Why do the multiples of 2 5 10 form columns on the hundred grid Whereas other numbers do not?

Other numbers aren't factors of 100.


How reactive are lanthanides and actinides metals?

Lanthanides and actinides are generally less reactive than alkali or alkaline earth metals. They tend to form stable compounds and exhibit a variety of oxidation states due to the presence of f-orbitals in their electronic configuration. Actinides may show greater reactivity due to the availability of f-orbitals for bonding.

Is folate best absorbed from foods or from supplements?

Folic acid is the supplemental form of folate, the body is able to absorb 90% of it. Whereas the food-form, folate, can only be absorbed by 50% due to its structure.


What are the main metal groups with a characteristic?

The main metal groups include alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides. Alkali metals are highly reactive and have low melting points, while alkaline earth metals are also reactive but less so than alkali metals and have higher melting points. Transition metals are known for their ability to form various oxidation states and colored compounds, whereas lanthanides and actinides are characterized by their f-f orbital electron configurations and include elements that are typically radioactive.


Why noble gases don't bond well with other elements whereas all other elements easily form compounds?

Noble gases have completely filled electronic configuration and hence they are chemically inert (they generally do not form bonds).
