What determines the most likely oxidation state of an element?
the number of electrons the element needs to lose or gain to have a full valence shell
Which metal loses electrons most readily sodium or potassium?
Potassium, from top to bottom for groups 1 and 2, reactivity increases
Is gold a pure subtance?
Yes. Gold is an element which exists in nature, as pure, solid gold. Because it is quite inert and unreactive, gold does not easily give up electrons (i.e. is not easily oxidised) and hence it does not readily form compounds in nature, rather it exists in its elemental form. For example, zinc is a more reactive metal than gold and more readily gives up electrons to form ions, and hence it is often found in nature as a ZnO (solid) or ZnS (zinc sulfide - solid) compound. As an ion, gold is readily reduced (i.e. gains electrons) to form solid, elemental gold.
What particles make up elements and compounds?
Atoms are the most basic form of an element. They cannot be broken down further and still be that element.
What is in an atom of sulfur?
Sulfur is an element. An atom is the smallest division of an element that remains the same element--any further division of the element divides it into its atomic particles. The most common isotope of a sulphur atom has 16 electrons, 16 protons, and 16 neutrons.
What element most readily accepts electrons francium sodium gold or arsenic?
Gold, as it's the most electronegative of those four elements.
What group of the periodic table most readily accepts electron?
Group VII A or XVII or Halogens.
One of the most important coenzymes that accepts electrons hydrogen is what?
NAD+ i think
Which element consists of atoms that's most strongly attract electrons of other atoms?
The element that attracts electrons the most would be Fluorine
What is the number of valence electrons (number in the outer most energy level)?
The valence electrons are the outer most electrons and the principal energy level in which they belong will vary for element to element and generally corresponds to the period number in which the element is present
Choose the element that will most easily lose an electron?
Alkaline Earths will most easily lose an electron. This is because the have a smaller alkali radii than alkali metals causing them to not be as tightly bound to the nucleus. This makes the more readily lose their electrons.
What is the number of the prinicpal energy level in which valence electrons are found?
The valence electrons are the outer most electrons and the principal energy level in which they belong will vary for element to element and generally corresponds to the period number in which the element is present
Pick the statement that is most likely to be true of an element with LOW electronegativity?
The valence electrons of the element are very shielded. The valence electrons are far from the nucleus.
What elements readily accept electrons?
From a purely electronegative standpoint, Flourine is most likely to be an electron acceptor.
What element has the most protons of any element than any element in group 15?
Uup, or ununpentium with 115 electrons
The most plentiful element in the universe readily burns in air What is this chemical property called?
Flammability
Is sulfur an element most readily accepts electrons?
No. Fluorine wears that crown, followed by chlorine. These two halogens can strip an electron from just about anything, even noble gases! The only known molecules which include noble gases have been made with these halogens for this reason. Sulfur is more electronegative or electrophilic (electron loving) that almost all other elements, but the two previously mentioned halogens are way out in front of it.
