At room temp, iodine is a solid while fluorine is a gas. (hope that helps!)

Explanation:

Both fluorine and iodine are non-metals. As it is known that when we move down the group there will be decrease in reactivity.

Hence, reactivity of fluorine is much more than the reactivity of iodine.

Also, fluorine is smaller in size as compared to iodine atom due to this nucleus of fluorine is able to strongly pull the electrons more towards itself.

Whereas nucleus of iodine atom is shielded by electron shells due to which it is not able to strongly pull the electrons from a donor atom.

Also, fluorine is present in gaseous state at room temperature and iodine exists as a solid at room temperature.

In order to predict the outcome of the reaction, write the molecular, full ionic, and net ionic equations for a mixture of aqueo

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Full molecular equation;

2NH3(aq) + AgNO3(aq) -------> [Ag(NH3)2]NO3(aq)

Full ionic equation

2NH3(aq) + Ag^+(aq) + NO3^-(aq) --------> [Ag(NH3)2]^+(aq) + NO3^-(aq)

Net ionic equation;

2NH3(aq) + Ag^+(aq) --------> [Ag(NH3)2]^+(aq)

is there a relationship between the relative age of stars in the number/identity of element is found within them

lukranit [14]

Yes. Stars use fusion to create nuclear energy, which is what makes them "alive". The older they are, the "bigger" the element in them is. Hydrogen turns into Helium, and when hydrogen is used up, the helium starts fusing into bigger elements. it stops at iron however. Once stars start fusing silicon to iron, it is doomed because it takes more energy than it gives off.
