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.

A chemist wants to observe the following reaction:
stiv31 [10]

It take more energy to break the bonds of the reactants and less energy is given off when the product bonds are formed.

<h3>What is Energy?</h3>

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Work is done in the breaking or formation of bonds.

The standard Enthalpy (ΔH) of water which was formed in the given reaction is negative.

ΔH= Δproduct - Δreactant

This means that the energy to break the bonds of the reactants is more.

If 4.168 kJ of heat is added to a calorimeter containing 75.40 g of water, the temperature of the water and the calorimeter incr
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The value of  the heat capacity of the Calorimeter  C_c = 54.4 \frac{J}{c}

Explanation:

Given data

Heat added Q = 4.168 KJ = 4168 J

Mass of water m_w = 75.40 gm

Temperature change = ΔT = 35.82 - 24.58 = 11.24 ° c

From the given condition

Q = m_w C_w ΔT + C_c ΔT

Put all the values in above equation we get

4168 = 75.70 × 4.18 × 11.24 +  C_c × 11.24

611.37 =  C_c × 11.24

C_c = 54.4 \frac{J}{c}

This is the value of  the heat capacity of the Calorimeter.

Write the general chemical formula for an acid, and discuss what each component of the formula represents.
saul85 [17]
The general formula of an acid is HX where H+ acts as the cation while X can be a halogen (Cl-, Fl-, Br-, etc) and acts as the anion. There are also cases where X is an ion like SO42-, which brings two atoms of H in the formula. Strong acids dissociate completely while weak acids do not.
