2NaCl > 2Na + Cl2 1.3x10^24 formula units of NaCl will decompose to form how many g of Na?

Explanation:

We will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses, so let’s gather all the information in one place.

Mᵣ:                            22.99

            2NaCl     ⟶ 2Na + Cl₂

Units:  1.3 × 10²⁴

1. Calculate the moles of NaCl

2. Calculate the moles of Na

The molar ratio is 2 mol Na:2 mol Na Cl

3. Calculate the mass of Na

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
