Answer:

Group 17/VIIA

Highly reactive

7 electrons in their outer shell

They become stable and have noble gas configurations when they gain one more electron from metal

Explanation:

halogen, any of the six nonmetallic elements that constitute Group 17 (Group VIIa) of the periodic table. The halogen elements are fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), astatine (At), and tennessine (Ts).

Due to their high effective nuclear charge, halogens are highly electronegative. Therefore, they are highly reactive and can gain an electron through reaction with other elements.

Halogens are very reactive because they have seven valence electrons and need one more to have eight valence electrons (an octet). They react with metals and other halogens to get an octet. When this happens, the atoms become stable and have noble gas configurations.

Calculate the decrease in temperarure when 2.00 L at 20.0 degrees celsius is compressed to 1.00 L.

Serga [27]

I suspect that the pressure of this change is constant therefore

The equation is used from the combined gas law. (When pressure is constant both P's will cancel out P/P = 1)
V/T = V/T
Initial Change

Initially we have 2L at 20 degress what temperature will be at 1L.

2/20 = 1/T
0.1 = 1/T
0.1T = 1
T = 1/0.1
T = 10 degress celsius.

Hope this helps if you won't be able to understand what is the combined gas law just tell me :).

What happens to the composition of an atom to cause it to become positively or negatively charged?

cupoosta [38]

<span>The addition and subtraction of negatively charged electrons can easily change an atom’s charge, because they perpetually spin in valence shells outside the nucleus. It is easier for a neighboring atom to share or steal an electron rather than a positively charged proton, which is found in the nucleus. It requires a strong energy input to split a proton free from other protons and neutrons. thus, the atoms lose or gain electrons from neighboring ones and become what is known as "ions". Hope it helped!</span>
