Answer:
Iodine is most reactive because it is very close to having a "full shell" which is 8 electrons so they are "eager" to gain the last electron to became balanced, so that makes it the most reactive. Hope that helps:)
Explanation:
Answer is: the combined ionic bond strength of CrCl₂ and intermolecular forces between water molecules.
When chromium chloride (CrCl₂) is dissolved in water, the temperature of the water increases, heat of the solution is endothermic.
Dissociation of chromium chloride in water: CrCl₂(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq).
Energy (the lattice energy) is required to pull apart the oppositely charged ions in chromium chloride.
The heat of hydration is liberated energy when the separated ions (in this example chromium cations and chlorine anions) attract polar water molecules.
Because the lattice energy is higher than the heat of the hydration (endothermic reaction), we can conclude that bonds between ions are strong (the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions).
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that differ in the number of neutrons.
Remember that all the atoms of an element have the same number of protons. So the only difference between isotopes of an element is the number of neutrons.
86 Sr means that the mass number of this isotope is 86. Also, remember that the mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons.
87 Sr means that the mass number of this isotope is 87.
So, 86 Sr and 87 Sr differ 1 neutron.
Answer: 1 neutron
<span>'It is formed when metal atoms lose electrons to nonmetal atoms' is the incorrect statement. This statement is the definition of ionic bonding.
