Answer:
Fluorine
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Chemistry</u>
- Reading a Periodic Table
- Periodic Trends
- Electronegativity - the tendency for an element to attract an electron to itself
- Z-effective and Coulomb's Law, Forces of Attraction
Explanation:
The Periodic Trend for Electronegativity is up and to the right of the Periodic Table.
Fluorine is Element 9 and has 9 protons. Radium is Element 88 and has 88 protons. Therefore, Radium has a bigger Zeff than Flourine.
However, since Radium is in Period 7 while Fluorine is in Period 2, Radium has more core e⁻ than Fluorine does. This will create a much larger shielding effect, causing Radium's outermost e⁻ to have less FOA between them. Fluorine, since it has less core e⁻, the FOA between the nucleus and outershell e⁻ will be much stronger.
Therefore, Fluorine would attract an electron more than Radium, thus bringing us to the conclusion that Fluorine has a higher electronegativity.
Answer:
The accepted views of science knowledge can change over time. Changes can result from new science observations, but can also be affected by social, political or religious convictions. To develop a deeper understanding, students need to investigate the context of the time in which science ideas were developed.
Explanation:
Answer:
an isotope has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons than the other atoms of the same element.
Answer:
Rubidium is a typical but very reactive member of the series of alkali metals. It is appreciably more reactive than potassium, but less so than caesium, and so would be expected to react more violently with those materials that are hazardous with potassium or sodium.
