Which is the most active nonmetallic element in group 16?

Chemistry

Oxygen

For metals, reactivity increases as we move through the elements in the period table from top to bottom, and left to right. In contrast, for nonmetals, reactivity increases as we move through the elements in the periodic table, as we move from bottom to the top, and right to left. 

Group 16 on the periodic table is also called the oxygen family or chalcogens. It includes the following elements from top to bottom: Oxygen, Sulfur, Selenium, Tellurium, and Polonium. Of these, only Oxygen, Sulfur, and Selenium are nonmetals. Since reactivity of nonmetals increases going up the periodic table, oxygen is therefore the most reactive nonmetal in the group. Shown in the figure below is the reactivity trend in the periodic table.

What is the “advantage” and “disadvantage” when there is a mechanical advantage less than 1?
tia_tia [17]

Answer: Force disadvantage and distance advantage

Explanation: When mechanical advantage is less than one the force of the strength decreases because input force is greater than output force.

The distance increases ie the object is moving over a long distance.

Example when fishing with a long fishing rod the force applied to move the fish from the water is greater than the weight of the fish itself. The advantage of using the long fishing pole is that the distance over which the fish travels is greatly increased.

Hope this helps. It took me about half an hour before I could get this answer from my various searches. The idea might not be clear but this was what I was able to understand.

vaporized at 100°C and 1 atmosphere pressure. Assuming ideal gas 1 g mole of water is behavior calculate the work done and compa
Vesna [10]

Answer:

q = 40.57 kJ; w = -3.10 kJ; strong H-bonds must be broken.

Explanation:

1. Heat absorbed

q = nΔH = 1 mol × (40.57 kJ/1 mol) = 40.57 kJ

2. Change in volume

V(water) = 0.018 L

pV = nRT

1 atm × V = 1 mol × 0.082 06 L·atm·K⁻¹mol⁻¹ × 373.15 K

V = 30.62 L

ΔV = V(steam) - V(water) = 30.62 L - 0.018 L = 30.60 L

3. Work done

w = -pΔV = - 1 atm × 30.60 L = -30.60 L·atm

w = -30.60 L·atm × (101.325 J/1 L·atm) = -3100 J = -3.10 kJ

4. Why the difference?

Every gas does 3.10 kJ of work when it expands at 100 °C and 1 atm.

The difference is in the heat of vaporization. Water molecules are strongly hydrogen bonded to each other, so it takes a large amount of energy to convert water from the liquid phase to the vapour phase.
