Answer:
Fluorine is the most reactive halogen followed by chlorine, bromine and iodine
Explanation:
The reactivity of halogens decreases down the group, that is, fluorine is the most reactive halogen followed by chlorine and bromine. The least reactive halogen is iodine.
There are several reasons and viewpoints explaining this concept:
- Fluorine is the smallest atom of all halogens, since: (a) it has the lowest number of electron shells and (b) it has the greatest electronegativity, so that the electrons are attracted with the greatest force towards the nucleus. Therefore, it has the lowest radius. This means when the protons in the nucleus attract the electrons from another atom, the distance between the nucleus of fluorine and the electrons of another atom will be the smallest of all halogens. The lower the distance, the greater the attraction force, so that we obtain the strongest bond with fluorine and the weakest with iodine, as iodine has the greatest radius of all. From this standpoint, fluorine is the most reactive.
- Similarly, fluorine is least shielded atom, as it only has two valence shells. Going down the group, the number of shells increases, so iodine is the most shielded atom. Shielding increases the atomic radius, so that it's easier for fluorine to approach the electrons from the valence shell of another atom compared to more shielded chlorine, bromine and iodine.
Since we assume both reactants have 1 equivalent of H+ and OH- ions, we can balance the moles out. The acid of concentration x will have (x M)(0.035 L) = 0.035x moles of acid. Meanwhile, for the base: (0.432 M)(0.0246 L) = 0.0106 moles of base. Since these must be equivalent:
0.035x = 0.0106x = 0.304 M
A polyatomic ion, also known as a molecular ion, is a charged chemical species (ion) composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded or of a metal complex that can be considered to be acting as a single unit. The prefix poly- means "many," in Greek, but even ions of two atoms are commonly referred to as polyatomic
Answer:
All three vehicles have the same kinetic energy because they have equal speed.
