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.

           Br^{-} + Na^{+} \rightarrow 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.

An atom of oxygen (atomic number 8) has a mass number of 17. How many neutrons are<br> in that atom?
ludmilkaskok [199]
<h2>Answer:  # of neutrons = 9</h2>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

# of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

                      = 17 - 8

                      = 9

<h3>∴ number of neutrons in an atom of oxygen of mass number 17, is 9.</h3>

PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS.Thank you so much!

Answer: The coefficients for the given reaction species are 1, 6, 2, 3.

Explanation:

The given reaction equation is as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + Cl^{-} \rightarrow Cr^{3+} + Cl_{2}

Now, the two half-reactions can be written as follows.

Reduction half-reaction: Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 3e^{-} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}

This will be balanced as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 14H^{+} + 6e^{-} \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} + 7H_{2}O ... (1)

Oxidation half-reaction: Cl^{-} \rightarrow Cl_{2} + 1e^{-}

This will be balanced as follows.

6Cl^{-} \rightarrow 3Cl_{2} + 6e^{-} ... (2)

Adding both equation (1) and (2) we will get the resulting equation as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 14H^{+} + 6Cl^{-} \rightarrow 2Cr^{3+} + 3Cl_{2} + 7H_{2}O

Thus, we can conclude that coefficients for the given reaction species are 1, 6, 2, 3.
