Iron having Z=26 with electronic configuration as [Ar]3d^64s^2 has 6 electrons in the 3d shell wherein 5 electrons are aligned parallely and 1 electron  as antiparallel.

Fe^3^+ having electronic configuration as [Ag]3d^5 has 5 electrons, all aligned in the same direction.

Iron, when kept in external magnetic field, the magnetic domains of the atom get aligned in one direction that means it becomes parallel and they remain parallel even after removing the magnetic field therefore, it is considered as ferromagnetic.

Consider the following data for five hypothetical elements: Q, W, X, Y, and Z. Rank the elements from most reactive to least rea
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Y, Q, W, Z and X

Y > Q > W > Z > X

Explanation:

To know the most reactive element, the element will be able to displace other metal in it compound. We also have to observe if the reaction occur. If the reaction didn't occur, that means the element is not reactive than the metal found in the other reactant. Invariably their will be no displacement.

Q + w+ Reaction occurs

Q element displace the metal w in it compound . This means Q is more reactive.

x +z+ No reaction

No reaction here. This means x is less reactive than z as it couldn't displace z in it compound.

w + z+ Reaction occurs

w is more reactive than z as it displaces z in it compound.

Q+ + Y Reaction occurs

Y is more reactive than Q as it displaces Q in it compounds.

Therefore, the most reactive to the least reactive is arrange as follows.

Y, Q, W, Z and X
