Group 8A of the periodic table contains the A. most reactive nonmetals. B. least reactive nonmetals. C. most reactive metals. D.
aivan3 [116]

Answer: The correct answer is option B.

Explanation: There are 7 elements in group VIII-A. They are Helium (He), Neon(Ne), Argon(Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), Radon (Rn) and Ununoctium (Uuo). They are considered as a part of group 18.

Metals are shown in purple color in the periodic table. Metalloids as blue color and Non-metals are shown in green color.

Group VIII-A elements have fully filled orbitals and hence are most stable amongst all the elements in the periodic table. They are considered as least reactive elements and as they are categorized as non-metals. So, they are the least reactive non-metals.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

What is the name of the hydrocarbon CH3(CH2)6CH3?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer is: n-octane.

Octane is the straight-chain alkane (an acyclic saturated hydrocarbon) with eight carbon atoms.

Carbons in octane have sp3 hybridization (carbon’s 2s and three 2p orbitals combine into four identical sp3 orbitals).

Orbitals in sp3 hybridization have a tetrahedral arrangement and form single (sigma) bonds.

Burning octane fuel is very fast chemical reaction, it happens in immediately.

Main products of the combustion of fossil fuels are carbon(IV) oxide and water.  

Chemical reaction: C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O; ΔH = -5500 kJ/mol.

To achieve the highest return during recrystallization of a given solid, one must: Group of answer choices Add the minimum amoun
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Addition of too much of solvent will make the solution dilute due to which the crystals will not form. Hence option D is incorrect

On the other hand adding a minimum amount of boiling solvent will give a saturated solution for recrystallization. Hence, option A is incorrect

Addition of cold solvent will lower the rate of formation of crystals. Hence, both option B and C are incorrect
