Francium is the most reactive element in Group 1.

Chemistry
2 answers:
natali 33 [55]4 years ago

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

When all the atoms of particular type of matter are the same, the matter is a
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

an element.

Explanation:

When all the atoms contain a nucleus with the same amount of protons then each atom is classified as the same element. Hence multiple atoms and a larger quantity of atoms of the same element is still just the same single element.

How many atoms are in 1.4 mol of phosphorus trifluoride (PF3)?
joja [24]

Number of atoms in 1.4 mol of Phosphorus trifluoride (PF₃) : 8.428 x 10²³

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The mole is the number of particles(molecules, atoms, ions) contained in a substance  

1 mol = 6.02.10²³ particles

Can be formulated

N=n x No

N = number of particles

n = mol

No = Avogadro's = 6.02.10²³

1.4 mol of Phosphorus trifluoride (PF₃), number of atoms :

\tt N=1.4\times 6.02\times 10^{23}\\\\N=8.428\times 10^{23}

Which atom in each pair has the larger atomic radius?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

1. Potassium, K.

2. Calcium, Ca.

3. Gallium, Ga.

4. Carbon, C.

5. Bromine, Br.

6. Barium, Ba.

7. Silicon, Si.

8. Gold, Au.

Explanation:

Atomic radius can be defined as a measure of the size (distance) of the atom of a chemical element such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen etc, typically from the nucleus to the valence electrons. The atomic radius of a chemical element decreases across the periodic table, typically from alkali metals (group one elements such as hydrogen, lithium and sodium) to noble gases (group eight elements such as argon, helium and neon). Also, the atomic radius of a chemical element increases down each group of the periodic table, typically from top to bottom (column).

Additionally, the unit of measurement of the atomic radius of chemical elements is picometers (1 pm = 10 - 12 m).

1. Li or K: the atomic radius of lithium is 167 pm while that of potassium is 243 pm.

2. Ca or Ni: the atomic radius of calcium is 194 pm while that of nickel is 149 pm.

3. Ga or B: the atomic radius of gallium is 136 pm while that of boron is 87 pm.

4. O or C: the atomic radius of oxygen is 48 pm while that of carbon is 67 pm.

5. Cl or Br: the atomic radius of chlorine is 79 pm while that of bromine is 94 pm.

6. Be or Ba: the atomic radius of berryllium is 112 pm while that of barium is 253 pm.

7. Si or S: the atomic radius of silicon is 111 pm while that of sulphur is 88 pm.

8. Fe or Au: the atomic radius of iron is 156 pm while that of gold is 174 pm.

Arrange the following gases in order of decreasing density at STP. Ne, O2, F2, Cl3
kipiarov [429]

Answer: Cl₃ > F₂ > O₂ > Ne


Explanation:


1) All the gases are at the same temperature and pressure: STP (O°, 1 atm).


2) All the gases are represented by one molecule (or mole of molecules, it is the same for our puroposes).


3) As per Avogadro's law and the ideal gas equation, the same number of particles (of any gas) occupy the same volume at the same temperature and pressure.


For example, at STP the volume of 1 mol of gas is 22.4 liter.


4) Since, density is equal to mass / volume, and you assume the same number of molecules of each gas, the order of the densities is the same that the order of the molar masses.


5) Then, you just need to state the molar mass of each gas and order in decreasing order of molar mass to have the correct order for density.


6) Molar masses:


i) Ne: 20.180 g/mol


ii) O₂: 2× 15.999 g/mol = 31.998 g/mol


iii) F₂: 2×18.998 g/mol = 37.996 g/mol


iv) Cl₃: 3×35.453 g/mol = 106.359


7) Then the order is: 106.359 > 37.996 > 31.998 > 20.18 ⇒ is Cl₃ > F₂ > O₂ > Ne.


Note: the values calculate are not of densities but of molar masses. The order is what is the same.
