Chemistry help please!!
1) For each alkaline earth metal - Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Sn, and Zn, determine the total number of electrons its cation would have; also provide the identity of the nearest noble gas on the periodic table.
2) Form a table of alkaline earth metal cations and the various anions listed in Problem 1 of this experiment. Based on the solubility rules, predict if the product of the reaction will be soluble or insoluble. Do solubility rules indicate the extent to which a compound is (in)soluble?
3) Define the terms oxidation and reduction; define ionization energy and electron affinity. How are these sets of terms similar? How are they different?
4) The general reactivity series for the alkali metals (rather than the alkaline earth metals) is Li < Na < K < Cs < Rb.
For each, find the value of the first ionization energy. Then compare the reactivity series for alkaline earth metals with the trend in their ionization energies. In words or pictures, explain why this makes sense.
