Answer is: lithium is the least reactive and potassium is the most reactive of the three alkali elements. 
<span>The </span>reactivity<span> of the alkali metals increases down the group because one valence electron (I group of Periodic system of elements) is farther away from nucleus and attraction force between electron and proton is weaker.</span>

lidiya [134]

Explanation:

A.

The first student will be on the lower bunk on the first floor because 1. They want on the lowest available floor and 2. They want to be in a lower bunk if available.

B.

7 students are in the TOP bunks because 1. They want on the lowest available floor and 2. They want to be in a lower bunk if available. Therefore, all the rooms up till the third floor (Remember, third floor has 3 suites), so the first floor is filled - 1 person on the top bunk, 2 floor is filled- 4 persons and the third floor; the first suite is filled - 1 person and the second suite is a little partially filled- 1 person.

C.

Following the criteria 1, 2 and 3, the 21st student occupies the third suite on the third floor because all the floors (1 and 2) are occupied so the third suite on the third floor is still vacant.

D.

From the criteria there are therefore 10 persons at the TOP bunk. All the rooms up till the third floor are filled, so the first floor is filled - 1 person on the top bunk, second floor is filled (2 suites) - 4 persons and the third floor; the first suite and second suite is filled - 4 persons; the thirs suite has 6 persons present so 1 person is at the top bunk.

Write a balanced equation showing how this nucleus decays to form an α particle: thorium−230.
Ostrovityanka [42]
When   an  atomic  nucleus  emits  an  alpha  particle  it  decay  into  an atom   with atomic  number  2  less   and   mass number  4  less.  Thus  Thorium   230   decay    as  follows.

230 90Th  -------> 226  88Th  +  4 2 He

thorium  is  in  the  atomic  number   90  thus  it  during   alpha decay  it reduces  to  atomic  number  88  while  its  230   mass  number  reduces  to   226
