Yes, o-toluic acid is soluble in ether as ether is slightly polar and it is soluble in NaOH because it is likely to form soluble compounds with it.
Naphthalene is insoluble in NaOH.
Nonpolar compound would be symmetrical
Answer: The reactivity of group 7 decreases as we move down the group because:
Explanation:
The elements of group 7 that is fluorine to iodine. The halogens are non metals and they react with metals to gain electrons. The metals loose electrons and the non metal gains it.
As we move down the group the atomic radius gets bigger( more electron and more proton) and as a result the outer shells move further away from the nucleus.
There is more distance between the negatively charged electrons and positively charged nucleus.
Therefore the force of attraction between the shells and nucleus is lesser or weaker.
This makes attracting an extra electron from metals very difficult which results in weaker reaction.
Consequently, the reactivity decreases as we move down the group 7
Answer:
B.Bronze is harder than copper, so it retains a cutting edge sharper than that of copper.
Explanation:
The importance of bronze in the history of the human kind can not be only measured in the durability but the help that it provided to our ancestors, the things they were allowed to do once they dicovered how to mold it, and the tools that they produced and made many every day tasks easier for them and the ability of bronze to mantain the cutting edge longer than copper was one of the main reasons why it took its places in the fabrication of many tools.
