The least reactive out of those options is helium. Alkali metals are very reactive while noble gases are stable, and helium is a noble gas.

Answer:

The least reactive is the helium.

Explanation:

Reactivity is defined as the ability of an element to combine with others. The least reactive element is helium, because it belongs to the group of noble or inert gases. These gases aren’t very reactive, because their outermost layer or valence layer is always complete. This causes the element to be so stable that it tends not to react with others.

Oxygen, nitrogen and fluorine belong to the group of nonmetals. Nonmetals have a tendency to resemble the closest noble gases in terms of the electronic configuration of their last layer, having a tendency to accept electrons. Then they are reactive.  

Fluorine only needs one more electron to be stable, oxygen needed two and nitrogen three. So the reactivity of the fluorine is greater (besides it is an atom so small that its electrons are very close to the nucleus), then the oxygen follows and finally the nitrogen.

2. Using the following data, calculate the average atomic mass of magnesium (give your answer to the nearest
arlik [135]

Answer:

24.32

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Isotope A:

Mass of A = 24

Abundance (A%) = 78.70%

Isotope B

Mass of B = 25

Abundance (B%) = 10.13%

Isotope C:

Mass of C = 26

Abundance (C%) = 11.17%

Average atomic mass of Mg =..?

The average atomic mass of Mg can be obtained as illustrated below:

Average atomic mass = [(Mass of A × A%)/100] + [(Mass of B × B%)/100] + [(Mass of C × C%)/100]

Average atomic mass = [(24 × 78.70)/100] + [(25 × 10.13)/100] + [(26 × 11.17)/100]

= 18.888 + 2.5325 + 2.9042

= 24.3247 ≈ 24.32

Therefore, the average atomic mass of magnesium (Mg) is 24.32

A weather system moving through the American Midwest produced rain with an average pH of 5.02. By the time the system reached Ne
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The rain falling in New England is 2.29 times more acidic than the one in the American Midwest.

Explanation:

The acidity of a solution depends on the concentration of H⁺ ions ([H⁺]). We can calculate this concentration from the pH using the following expression.

pH = -log ([H⁺])

American Midwest

pH = -log ([H⁺])

5.02 = -log ([H⁺])

[H⁺] = antilog (-5.02) = 9.55 × 10⁻⁶ M

New England

pH = -log ([H⁺])

4.66 = -log ([H⁺])

[H⁺] = antilog (-4.66) = 2.19 × 10⁻⁵ M

The ratio of concentrations is:

\frac{2.19 \times 10^{-5} M  }{9.55 \times 10^{-6} M} =2.29

The rain falling in New England is 2.29 times more acidic than the one in the American Midwest.
