Which element has chemical properties that are most similar to the chemical properties of sodium?
Potassium. Sodium is in group1 (period2) the next heaviest element is potassium (period 3). Potassium forms salts with the K+ ion.
What pair of elements has the most similar chemical properties?
Calcium and potassium
What are the chemical properties when potassium carbonate is added to HCL?
When HCL is added to a sample of dry potassium carbonate, it fizzes and bubbles up. This is due to the fact that it has a high pH
What is the chemical sign for potassium?
the chemical sign for potassium is K.
What is chemical formula for potassium chlorite?
The chemical formula of potassium chlorate is KClO3.
Are lithium and potassium similar properties?
Yes, they have similar chemical properties.
Which element has chemical properties that are most similar to the chemical properties of sodium?
Potassium. Sodium is in group1 (period2) the next heaviest element is potassium (period 3). Potassium forms salts with the K+ ion.
What are the chemical properties of solid?
1. Sodium, lithium, potassium
What has the chemical properties most similar to sodium?
Potassium - K
What period 6 element has chemical properties most like sodium?
Potassium
Do sodium and potassium have similar chemical properties?
Because they have similar electron configurations.
What explains the observation that elements of the same chemical group have same chemical properties?
The number of the velence electrons is frequently the same.
What pair of elements has the most similar chemical properties?
Calcium and potassium
Could sodium chromate be used instead of potassium chromate?
Yes, because chemical properties of sodium and potassium ions are nearly same.
What are to two element that have properties similar to those of the element sodium?
Lithium and potassium has same properties as sodium.They are alkali metals.They are placed in group-1.The elements of the same group have same chemical properties. Li and K are the elements above and below Na in the period. So they have same properties as sodium.
What are the similarities of potassium and francium?
Lithium, sodium potassium, caesium, rubidium and francium are all alkali metals; consequently they share many chemical and physical properties.
Lithium and potassium have similar chemical properties because the atoms of both elements have the same?
number of valence electrons
