Answer:
16
Explanation:
Group two elements are alkaline earth metal.
All these have two valance electrons. In order to achieve noble gas configuration it loses its two valance and get complete octet.
Reaction with group 16.
Reaction with oxygen,
They react with oxygen and form oxide.
2Ba + O₂ → 2BaO
2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO
2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO
this oxide form hydroxide when react with water,
BaO + H₂O → Ba(OH)₂
MgO + H₂O → Mg(OH)₂
CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂
With sulfur,
Mg + S → MgS
Ca + S → CaS
Ba + S → BaS
Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When a more reactive element or atom replaces a less reactive atom then this type of reaction is known as single displacement reaction.
In the given reaction, potassium iodide reacts with fluorine and results in the formation of potassium fluoride and iodine.
Here, fluorine being more reactive displaces iodine from potassium iodide.
Therefore, it is a single replacement or displacement reaction.
Option c would be the correct answer
