Fluorine (F) and bromine (Br) are in the same group on the periodic table. How do atoms of these elements compare when they form

bonds?

Explanation:

Both fluorine and chlorine are non-metals and since they belong to the same group that means they have same number of valence electrons.

That is, fluorine and chlorine has 7 valence electrons. So, in order to complete their octet they need one electron. Hence, they will readily react.

For example, Br will readily react with sodium (Na) atom and results in the formation of NaBr.

Answer is: Both a fluorine atom and a bromine atom gain one electron, and both atoms become stable.

Fluorine and bromine are in group 17 in Periodic table of elements. Group 17 (halogens) elements are in group 17: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br) and iodine (I). They are very reactive and easily form many compounds.

Halogens need to gain one electron to have electron cofiguration like next to it noble gas.

Fluorine has atomic number 9, it means it has 9 protons and 9 electrons.

Fluorine tends to have eight electrons in outer shell like neon (noble gas) and gains one electron in chemical reaction.

Electron configuration of fluorine: ₉F 1s² 2s² 2p⁵.

Electron configuration of neon: ₁₀Ne 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

Which type of reaction is represented by the generic equation ab cd right arrow. ad cb? combustion decomposition single replacem
arsen [322]

The illustration would be that of a double replacement reaction.

<h3>What are double replacement reactions?</h3>

They are reactions in which 2 ionic compounds exchange ions to form two new products.

Thus, in the reaction: ab + cd ----------> ad + cb

ab and cd are two ionic compounds. The b in ab is replaced by the d in cd while the d in cd itself is replaced by the b in ab. Hence, new products, ad and cd, are formed.

Calculate the density of chloroform
Rina8888 [55]

Answer: The density of chloroform is 1.47 g/mL

Explanation : Given,

Volume = 40.5 mL

Mass of cylinder = 85.16 g

Mass of cylinder and liquid = 145.10 g

First we have to calculate the mass of liquid (chloroform).

Mass of liquid = Mass of cylinder and liquid - Mass of cylinder

Mass of liquid = 145.10 g - 85.6 g

Mass of liquid = 59.5 g

Now we have to calculate the density of liquid (chloroform).

Formula used:

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Now putting g all the given values in this formula, we get:

Density=\frac{59.5g}{40.5mL}

Density=1.47g/mL

Therefore, the density of chloroform is 1.47 g/mL

What did scientists discover when they arranged elements in order of increasing atomic mass?
asambeis [7]
<span>The scientists discovered that when they organized elements in order of increasing atomic mass there is a pattern of repetition of properties (A). The periodic law was developed by Dmitri Mendeleev and Lothar Mayer in 1869. They worked independently of each other and both created a periodic table. They both arranged the items on the table by weight and both suggested that certain properties of the elements recur. The Mendeleev table is the most important table because the values for the atomic mass are the most accurate.</span>
