Strontium, with atomic symbol Sr, would be more like potassium, because both strontium and potassium are active metals and bromine is a nonmetal. The actual element with symbol S is sulfur, and that would be more like bromine, because those elements are both nonmetals.

Would you expect strontium to be like potassium or bromine?

Strontium is closer to potassium because both are metals and belong to s-block of Periodic Table.


Would you expect strontium (Sr) to be more like potassium (K)or bromine (Br)?

Would you expect iodine to displace bromine form a solution of potassium bromide?

No. However, bromine would displace iodine in potassium iodide.


What is the formula of the chemical combination strontium and bromine?

The chemical formula for the combination of strontium and bromine is SrBr2. In this ionic compound, strontium (Sr) has a 2+ charge, while bromine (Br) has a 1- charge, requiring two bromine atoms to balance the charges.


What elements would you find in sea water?

Chlorine, Sodium, Magnesium, Sulphur, Calcium, Potassium, Bromine, Boron, Strontium and Silicon. Oh yeah...and Hydrogen and Oxygen.


What happens when you combine potassium carbonate and strontium chloride?

When you combine potassium carbonate and strontium chloride, a double displacement reaction occurs where the potassium and strontium ions switch partners. This results in the formation of potassium chloride and strontium carbonate as the products. The reaction can be represented as: K2CO3 + SrCl2 -> 2KCl + SrCO3.


What is the chemical formula for potassium and bromine?

The chemical formula for potassium is K and for bromine is Br. When combined, their chemical formula would be KBr (potassium bromide).


What would happen if bromine water and potassium astatide were added together?

A reaction would occur between bromine water and potassium astatide, resulting in the displacement of bromine by astatine. This would lead to the formation of potassium bromide and astatine would be released. The solution would likely change color as astatine is a highly reactive halogen with distinctive coloration.


Will potassium lose electrons or gain electrons when reacting with bromine?

Potassium will lose electrons when reacting with bromine. Potassium is a metal and tends to lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, while bromine is a nonmetal that tends to gain electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.


What kind of bond is potassium and bromine?

An ionic bond will form between potassium (K) and bromine (Br). This compound, potassium bromide, KBr, is a salt, which is, in general, the combination of a metal (a Group 1 or Group 2 element) and a halogen (a Group 17 element). All salts are bonded ionically.


State the order in which the ions associated with a compound composed of potassium and bromine would be written in the chemical formula and the compound name?

In the chemical formula, the cation (potassium) would be written first followed by the anion (bromine). Therefore, the compound would be named potassium bromide.


Why does potassium have a larger atomic radius than bromine?

When looking at potassium and bromine, it would seem that with more electrons occupying more orbitals, bromine would be larger. However, in addition to those additional electrons, bromine also has additional protons. These protons in the nucleus pull on all of bromine's electrons with more strength than the nucleus of potassium, and the stronger pull offsets any size gained by adding electrons. In short, bromine's nucleus pulls harder.
