Francium is the most reactive element in Group 1.

Chemistry
2 answers:
natali 33 [55]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Francium is hypothesized to be the most reactive metal, but so little of it exists or can be synthesized, and the longest half-life of its most abundant isotope is 22.00 minutes, so that its reactivity cannot be determined experimentally.

Explanation:

Francium is an alkali metal in group 1/IA. All alkali metals have one valence electron. As you go down the group, the number of electron energy levels increases – lithium has two, sodium has three, etc..., as indicated by the period number. The result is that the outermost electron gets further from the nucleus. The attraction from the positive nucleus to the negative electron is less. This makes it easier to remove the electron and makes the atom more reactive.

Experimentally speaking, cesium (caesium) is the most reactive metal.

Answer:

Explanation:

all group 1 elements have 1 electron in their outer shell,making this the electron that is involved in reactions.as you move down a group in The periodic table the number of shells increases,which means that the outer electron is further from the nucleus.as there are now more shells between the electron and the nucleus,the outer electron experiences more shielding and therefore less attraction to the nucleus. This means that the outer electron is more easily removed in francium than other group one element

A bubble of helium gas has a volume of 0.65 L near the bottom of a large
Flura [38]

Answer:

0.73L

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question :

V1 = 0.65 L

P1 = 3.4 atm

T1 = 19°C = 19 + 273 = 292K

V2 =?

P2 = 3.2 atm

T2 = 36°C = 36 + 273 = 309K

The bubble's volume near the top can be obtain as follows:

P1V1 /T1 = P2V2 /T2

3.4 x 0.65/292 = 3.2 x V2 /309

Cross multiply to express in linear form as shown below:

292 x 3.2 x V2 = 3.4 x 0.65 x 309

Divide both side by 292 x 3.2

V2 = (3.4 x 0.65 x 309) /(292 x 3.2)

V2 = 0.73L

Therefore, the bubble's volume near the top is 0.73L

Why does beryllium lose electrons when forming ionic bonds,while sulfur gains electrons?
Nadya [2.5K]
Beryllium is a metal so it needs to loose electrons to have a full outer shell while sulfur is a non-metal so it needs to gain electrons to fill its outer shell.

Advocard [28]

Answer: a: reactants Na-2 Cl-2

Products: Na-2 Cl-2;

b: reactants P-1 Cl-13 H-6 Products P-1 H-6 Cl-13

c: reactants P-4 H-12 O-16

Products H-12 P-4 O-16

Explanation: since these equations are balanced the atoms on of element on the reactants side will be same as the atoms of the same element of the product side

Which is most likely to be part of an ionic bond?
mash [69]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. An atom <span>with no valence electrons is most likely to part of of an ionic bond. This is because valence electrons are the particles that bonds to other atoms and in an ionic bond there is a complete transfer of electrons.</span>
