We have to fill the gap

The correct answer is: Metals with the largest atoms and the smallest number of valence electrons and non-metals with the smallest atoms and the greatest number of valence electrons are the most reactive.

Reactivity of any species depends on ease of release or gain of electron. The species which can release electron easily from valence shell, the species is more reactive whereas the species which can accept electron to its valence shell easily is also more reactive.

Explanation:

Metals are the substances that contain less number of valence electrons. Whereas as non-metals are the substances that contain more number of valence electrons.

Also, when we move down a group then there occurs increase in size of atoms due to addition of electrons.

So, outer shell of atoms move away from the nucleus. Hence, force of attraction between nucleus and valence electrons of metals decreases. So, metals are able to lose an electron easily with increase in size.

On the other hand, non-metals find it difficult to attract an electron when increase in size of atom occurs.

Thus, we can conclude that metals with the largest atoms and the smallest number of valence electrons and non-metals with the smallest atoms and the greatest number of valence electrons are the most reactive.

Which statement is true about compounds? They do not form living things. They do not form nonliving things. They are formed when
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

The true statement is:

They are formed when atoms of different elements combine.

Explanation:

Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine.

Atoms of different elements combine with each other to attain stable electronic configuration.

The atoms can combine with each other in two different ways:

1) By sharing the electrons

2) By exchanging electrons

When they share electrons with each other, they form a covalent bond.

When they exchange electrons, they form an ionic bond.

If a sample of air in a school container was heated, would the percentage of oxygen in the air increase, decrease, or remain unc
Viktor [21]

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

Let's suppose we have a sample of air in a closed container. We heat the container and we want to predict what would happen to the pressure.

According to Gay-Lussac's law, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

Thus, if we increased the temperature of the air by heating it, its pressure would increase.

If a sample of air in a closed container was heated, the total pressure of the air would increase.

How many atoms are in 8.66 moles of barium? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
yarga [219]

Answer:

52.15 × 10²³ atoms

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles = 8.66 mol

Number of atoms = ?

Solution:

Avogadro number:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

8.66 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms / 1mol

52.15 × 10²³ atoms

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

0.257 L

Explanation:

The values missing in the question has been assumed with common sense so  that the concept could be applied

Initial volume of the AICI3 solution =23.1 \mathrm{mL}

Initial Molarity of the solution =833 \mathrm{mM}

Final molarity of the solution =75.0 \mathrm{mM}

Final volume of the solution =?

From Law of Dilution, M_{f} V_{f}=M_{i} V_{i}

\Rightarrow V_{f}=\frac{M_{i} V_{i}}{M_{f}}=\frac{833 \mathrm{mM} \times 23.1 \mathrm{mL}}{75.0 \mathrm{mM}}=256.564 \mathrm{mL}=0.256564 \mathrm{L}=0.257 L

Final Volume of the solution =0.257
