The answer is the upper right Fluorine is the most electronegative. 
alekssr [168]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that when we move across a period from left to right in a periodic table then there will be decrease in size of elements. This is because of addition of electrons into the same sub-shell.

Whereas when we move down a group then there occurs an increase in size of atoms due to addition of new sub-shells.

As electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract an electron towards itself. Hence, smaller is the size of an atom more will be the ability of its nucleus to attract a proton towards itself. As a result, higher will be its electronegativity.

For example, fluorine is the most electronegative element present in the periodic table.

Thus, we can conclude that upper right area of the periodic table has the highest electronegativities.

What property of argon is uses in light bulbs?
otez555 [7]
<span>The filament of the light bulb will get very hot. This will encourage a chemical reaction with most gases that are surrounding that filament - and the result is that the filament burns out. If the filament is in air, it combines with the carbon of carbon dioxide in the air, and the filament disintegrates. But argon is an inert gas - almost nothing reacts with it. So the filament takes a very long time (theoretically infinity) to burn out. But the bulb cannot contain 100% argon: 99.9% is typical; the remaining 0.1% being air. The bulb manufacturers can control the 'life' of a bulb, based on that principle: they do not want their bulbs to last forever!</span>

If a hydrogen atom and a helium atom have the same kinetic energy:________
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: If a hydrogen atom and a helium atom have the same kinetic energy then the wavelength of the hydrogen atom will be roughly equal to the wavelength of the helium atom.

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength is as follows.

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\

This means that energy is inversely proportional to wavelength.

As it is given that energy of a hydrogen atom and a helium atom is same.

Let us assume that E_{hydrogen} = E_{helium} = E'. Hence, relation between their wavelengths will be calculated as follows.

E_{hydrogen} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{hydrogen}}    ... (1)

E_{helium} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{helium}}         ... (2)

Equating the equations (1) and (2) as follows.

E_{hydrogen} = E_{helium} = E'\\\frac{hc}{\lambda_{hydrogen}} = \frac{hc}{\lambda_{helium}} = E'\\\lambda_{helium} = \lambda_{hydrogen} = E'

Thus, we can conclude that if a hydrogen atom and a helium atom have the same kinetic energy then the wavelength of the hydrogen atom will be roughly equal to the wavelength of the helium atom.
