These are two questions and two answers.

Question 1) The elements most likely to form more than one type of ion are the .

option A) transition metals.

Jusitification:

1) The elements form ions by gaining or losing electrons. By gaining electrons, theY form anions (negative iones); by losing electrons, they form cations (positive ions).

2) The valence shell of the akaly metals is the type ns¹, which means that they have one electron in the valence shell. Then, they only can form one kind of ion which has the configuration of the previous noble gas (n-1)s²(n-1)p⁶ with 1+ charge.

3) The halogens have valence shell of the type ns²np⁵. That means that easily gain 1 electron to complete the valence shell ns²np₆ (the configuration of the next noble gas), with charge 1-. Gaining 5 electrons or losing more electrons than 1 is very disfavourable, so that is the only kind of ion they form.

4) The valence shells of alkaline earth metals are of the kind ns². So, the most favourable energetic ion is formed by losing 2 electrons and so taking the configuration of the previous noble gas, with charge 2+. That is the only type of ion they form.

5) Transition metals have electrons in the orbitals d, which are very similar in energy, and so they might loose 1, 2, or 3, electrons fo form ions with charges 1+, 2+, or 3+ respectively.

Question 2) The name iron(II) indicates that a compound contains .

A) iron ions with an II+ charge.

B) iron ions with a 2+ charge.

C) iron ions with a negative charge.
D) two types of iron ions.

option B) iron ions with a 2+ charge.

The oxidation state may be indicated as Roman numerals, in this case II, or as a conventional number with its charge.

Iron, a transition metal, may loose 2 or 3 valence electrons. When it loses 2 electrons it forms an ion (cation) with positive charge 2. So, it is iron 2+

Sorry i don’t know i just need the points

Answer from: Quest

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.

Listen base your answer to the question on the information below. propane is a fuel that is sold in rigid, pressurized cylinders. most of the propane in a cylinder is liquid, with gas in the space above the liquid level. when propane is released from the cylinder, the propane leaves the cylinder as a gas. propane gas is used as a fuel by mixing it with oxygen in the air and igniting the mixture, as represented by the balanced equation below. c3h8(g) + 5o2(g) → 3co2(g) + 4h2o() + 2219.2 kja small amount of methanethiol, which has a distinct odor, is added to the propane to consumers detect a propane leak. in methanethiol, the odor is caused by the thiol functional group (–sh). methanethiol, ch3sh, has a structure that is very similar to the structure of methanol. what is the correct structural formula for a molecule of methanethiol
