The most reactive element of this list is Chlorine, the next most reactive is bromine, and the least reactive is iodine.

All of these three elements are group 7 elements in the periodic table. It is known that the reactivity of group 7 elements decreases down the group. The most reactive element in this group is Flourine  with reactivity decreasing down the group.

The reason for this decrease in reactivity is that as you go down the group, the distance between the positive nucleus that attracts valence electrons increases, decreasing the electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the outer electrons. The other reason is that the electrons in lower energy levels closer to the nucleus repel and shield the electrons in the outermost shell or energy level of the atom.

Chlorine>Bromine>Iodine.

<u>Answer:</u> The order of reactivity of non-metals from most reactive to least reactive is \text{Chlorine}>\text{Bromine}>\text{Iodine}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Reactivity of a non-metal is defined as the tendency of an element to gain electrons. The reactivity increases as we move across a period and it  decreases as we move down the group.

When the size of an element increases, the valence electrons gets away from the nucleus and the tendency of an element to gain electrons decreases.

In a group, the size of an element increases because there is an addition of new shell and electron is added in that shell.

The given elements belong to the same group which is Group 17.

Chlorine has the smallest size, then bromine and then iodine.

Hence, the order of reactivity of non-metals from most reactive to least reactive is \text{Chlorine}>\text{Bromine}>\text{Iodine}

A sample of an ideal gas initially occupies a volume of 6 L. The pressure of the sample is then doubled while it is cooled to on
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

V₂= 1 L

Explanation:

Given that

Volume occupies V₁= 6 L

Initial pressure = P₁

Initial temperature = T₁

The final pressure =P₂ = 2 P₁

Final volume =V₂

Final temperature = T₁/3

As we know that equation for ideal gas

P V = m R T

P=pressure,  V=volume,   T=temperature

m=mass  ,R=gas constant

Now from mass conservation

m=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}

\dfrac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{RT_2}

\dfrac{P_1\times 6}{RT_1}=3\times \dfrac{2P_1V_2}{RT_1}

6 = 3 x 2 V₂

V₂= 1 L

So the final volume will be 1 L

If you doubled the load resistor in a Wheatstone bridge, the load current would not be half as much. Why not?
Fofino [41]
Doubling the size of a load resistor increases the load current. Increasing the load resistance, in turn the total circuit resistance is reduced. The load current would not be half as much since when you increase the size of load resistor then load current increases.

The position of a particle moving along the x axis varies in time according to the expression x = 4t 2, where x is in meters and
Pie

Answer:

a) X = 17.64 m

b) X = 17.64 + 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t

c) Velocity = lim(∆t→0)⁡〖∆X/∆t〗 = 16.8 m/s

Explanation:

a) The position at t = 2.10s is:  

                 X = 4t^2

                 X = 4(2.10)^2

                 X = 17.64 m

b) The position at t = 2.10 + ∆t s  will be:

                 X = 4(2.10 + ∆t)^2

                 X = 17.64 + 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t  m

c) ∆X is the difference between position at t = 2.10s and t = 2.10 + ∆t so,

                 ∆X= 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t

Divide by ∆t on both sides:  

                ∆X/∆t =  4∆t + 16.8

 Taking the limit as ∆t approaches to zero we get:  

              Velocity =lim(∆t→0)⁡〖∆X/∆t〗 = 4(0) + 16.8

              Velocity = 16.8 m/s

What is the Scientific definition of friction?
seropon [69]
Friction<span> is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. Instead, scientists believe it is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces.
Hope this is of great help to you, and happy studying~!

A diver shines an underwater searchlight at the surface of a pond (n = 1.33). At what angle (relative to the surface) will the l
allsm [11]

Answer:

41.2°

Explanation:

Total internal reflection is the reflection of the incident ray at the interface between two media in which one of the media has a lower refractive index than the other. It occurs when the angle of incidence in the denser medium exceeds the critical angle.

The critical angle is the angle of incidence in the denser medium when the angle of incidence in the less dense medium is 90°.

Since

n= 1/sin C

C= sin^-(1/n)

C= sin^-(1/1.33)

C= 48.8°

Hence angle of incidence= 90-48.8 = 41.2°
