Atoms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group.

How does this help explain the difference in the reactivity of metals within a group?​

Answer:

Explanation:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.  

On left side of periodic table atoms of metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons or we can say metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons so their reactivity increase down the group because of easily  removal of electrons.

On right side of periodic table atoms of nonmetals are more reactive by gaining the electrons. As we move down the group nuclear attraction becomes smaller because of shielding thus electron are less attracted by nucleus and reactivity decreases.

Answer:Crystalline solids have well-defined edges and faces, diffract x-rays, and tend to have sharp melting points. In contrast, amorphous solids have irregular or curved surfaces, do not give well-resolved x-ray diffraction patterns, and melt over a wide range of temperatures.

When methyloxirane is treated with HBr, the bromide ion attacks the less substituted position. However, when phenyloxirane is tr
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

See explanation and picture below

Explanation:

First, in the case of methyloxirane (Also known as propilene oxide) the mechanism that is taking place there is something similar to a Sn2 mechanism. Although a Sn2 mechanism is a bimolecular substitution taking place in only step, the mechanism followed here is pretty similar after the first step.

In both cases, the H atom of the HBr goes to the oxygen in the molecule. You'll have a OH⁺ in both. However, in the case of methyloxirane the next step is a Sn2 mechanism step, the bromide ion will go to the less substitued carbon, because the methyl group is exerting a steric hindrance. Not a big one but it has a little effect there, that's why the bromide will rather go to the carbon with more hydrogens. and the final product is formed.

In the case of phenyloxirane, once the OH⁺ is formed, the next step is a Sn1 mechanism. In this case, the bond C - OH⁺ is opened on the side of the phenyl to stabilize the OH. This is because that carbon is more stable than the carbon with no phenyl. (A 3° carbon is more stable than a 2° carbon). Therefore, when this bond opens, the bromide will go there in the next step, and the final product is formed. See picture below for mechanism and products.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

1. 505g is the mass of the aluminium.

2. The answer is in the explanation

Explanation:

1. To solve this question we need to find the volume of the rectangle. With the volume and density we can find the mass of the solid:

Volume = 7.45cm*4.78cm*5.25cm

Volume = 187cm³

Mass:

187cm³ * (2.702g/cm³) = 505g is the mass of the aluminium

2. When the temperature of a liquid increases, the volume increases doing the density decreases because density is inversely proportional to volume. And works in the same way for gases because the temperature produce more collisions and the increasing in volume.

How does scientific method help scientists
Irina18 [472]

Scientists use the scientific method all the time to help them understand things about certain topics. The scientific method is a list of steps that are used before, during, and after the experiment. The scientific method can help prove hypothesis about things and can tell you the outcome of the experiment.

Why was meteorology such a late developer compared to other branches of science?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Because of the difficulties of measuring the atmosphere's properties above the earth's reachable surface

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, meteorology is the branch of science studying the atmosphere in its weather processes and forecasting and it had a late development because of the difficulties of measuring the atmosphere's properties above the earth's reachable surface. We cannot forget that even nowadays, it is very difficult to predict upcoming weathers with the 100 % assurance and with many days in advance.

Best regards.
