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.

What type of bond will form between the following pairs of atoms?
Vaselesa [24]

The two main types of bonds formed between atoms are ionic bonds and covalent bonds. An ionic bond is formed when one atom accepts or donates one or more of its valence electrons to another atom. A covalent bond is formed when atoms share valence electrons.

Can I please Get Help with this question ‍♂️ ?

Answer:

Mg(NO4)2 is 180.3 g/mol

Explanation:

First find the substance formula.

Magnesium Nitrate.

Magnesium is a +2 charge.

Nitrate is a -1 charge.

So to balance the chemical formula,

We need 1 magnesium atom for every nitrate atom.

2(1) + 1(-2) = 0

So the substance formula is Mg(NO4)2.

Now find the molar mass of Mg(NO4)2.

Mg = 24.3 amu

N = 14.0 amu

O = 16.0 amu

They are three nitrogen and twelve oxygen atoms.

So you do this: 24.3 + 14.0(2) + 16.0(8) = 180.3 g/mol

So the molar is mass is 180.3 g/mol.

The final answer is Mg(NO4)2 is 180.3 g/mol

Hope it helped!
