Francium is the most reactive element in Group 1.

Chemistry

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

In terms of electrons, what is the difference between a covalent and ionic bond
kramer

Answer:

An ionic bond essentially donates an electron to the other atom participating in the bond, while electrons in a covalent bond are shared equally between the atoms. Ionic bonds form between a metal and a nonmetal. Covalent bonds form between two nonmetals

Determine the volume of occupied by 4 moles of carbon dioxide gas at
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Vol of 4 moles CO₂(g) at STP = 89.6 Liters

Explanation:

STP

P = 1 Atm

V =

T = 0°C = 273 K

n = 4 moles

R = 0.08206 L·Atm/mol·K

Using Ideal Gas Law PV = nRT => V = nRT/P

V = (4 moles)(0.08206 L·Atm/mol·K)(273 K)/(1 Atm) = 89.6 Liters

If an atom has 35 protons in the nucleus, how many will it have orbiting nucleus
yan [13]
It will have 35 ''electrons'' . Basically the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is always equal to the number of electrons but its just that protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged.  <span />

Which of these Group 14 elements has the most metallic properties? 1. C 2. Ge 3. Si 4. Sn
seraphim [82]
I would say that the answer is Sn.
C-is a non-metal
Ge-is a metalliod (consists both non-metal and metal)
Si -is a metalloid
Sn- is a pure metal
