Characteristics of metals on the periodic table are.....
- A.
They are not able to be oxidized
- B.
They are poor conductors of heat and electricity
- C.
Can loss free electrons & changed to positive ions
- D.
Can gain electrons & changed to negative ions
Correct Answer
C. Can loss free electrons & changed to positive ionsExplanation
Metals on the periodic table have the characteristic of being able to lose free electrons and become positive ions. This is because metals have a tendency to have few valence electrons, which are the electrons involved in chemical bonding. When a metal atom loses its valence electrons, it becomes positively charged, forming a cation. This ability to lose electrons is what gives metals their characteristic properties such as high electrical and thermal conductivity, malleability, and ductility.Rate this question:

Salt + hydrogen
- B.
Salt + carbon dioxide + water
- C.
Salt + water
- D.
Salt + carbon dioxide
Correct Answer
A. Salt + hydrogenExplanation
When an acid reacts with a metal, the product formed is salt and hydrogen gas. This is because acids are capable of donating protons (H+) and metals are capable of accepting these protons, resulting in the formation of salt. The hydrogen gas is released as a byproduct of this reaction.Rate this question:

When an acid reacts with a metal oxide following is the product:
- A.
Salt + hydrogen
- B.
Salt + carbon dioxide + water
- C.
Salt + water
- D.
Salt + carbon dioxide
Correct Answer
C. Salt + waterExplanation
When an acid reacts with a metal oxide, the products formed are salt and water. This is because the acid donates hydrogen ions (H+) to the metal oxide, which in turn donates oxygen ions (O2-) to the acid. The hydrogen and oxygen ions combine to form water (H2O), while the remaining ions from the acid and metal oxide combine to form a salt. Therefore, the correct answer is salt + water.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. AlkalisExplanation
Bases that dissolve in water are called alkalis because alkalis are a type of base that specifically dissolve in water to produce hydroxide ions (OH-) in solution. Alkalis are typically ionic compounds that contain a metal cation and a hydroxide anion. When these compounds are added to water, they dissociate and release hydroxide ions, making the solution basic. Examples of alkalis include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).Rate this question:
