Acidic oxides are those that react with water to produce acid solutions, whereas the reactions of basic oxides with water produce basic solutions. Nonmetallic oxides are usually acidic, whereas those of metals are basic. Predict the products of the reactions of these oxides with water: \(\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{BaO}, \mathrm{CO}_{2}\), \(\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{5}, \mathrm{P}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{10}, \mathrm{SO}_{3} .\) Write an equation for each of the reactions.
Why is the radius of the lithium atom considerably larger than the radius of the hydrogen atom?
Indicate whether these elements exist as atomic species, molecular species, or extensive three dimensional structures in their most stable state at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and \(1 \mathrm{~atm},\) and write the molecular or empirical formula for the elements: phosphorus, iodine, magnesium, neon, arsenic, sulfur, carbon, selenium, and oxygen.
Write ground-state electron configurations for these transition metal ions: (a) \(\mathrm{Sc}^{3+}\) (b) \(\mathrm{Ti}^{4+}\) (c) \(\mathrm{V}^{5+}\) (d) \(\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}\) , (e) \(\mathrm{Mn}^{2+},\) (f) \(\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}\) (h) \(\mathrm{Co}^{2+}\) (g) \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}\) (i) \(\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}\) (i) \(\mathrm{Cu}^{+}\) (k) \(\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\) (1) \(\mathrm{Ag}^{+}\) \((\mathrm{m}) \mathrm{Au}^{+}\) (n) \(\mathrm{Au}^{3+},\) (o) \(\mathrm{Pt}^{2+}\)
