Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Valence electrons is the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.

So, when we move across a period from left to right then there will be increase in number of valence electrons.

For example, valence electrons in carbon is 4, nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, oxygen has 6 valence electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that number of valence electrons increases for elements change across a period.

Answer:

Diagram 1

Explanation:

The solubility of the oxygen gas in water has to do with the interaction of the oxygen with the dipoles in water.

Water is a polar molecule having oxygen as the negative dipole and hydrogen as the positive dipole.

Water can interact with the oxygen atoms in the molecule via intermolecular hydrogen bonds with molecular oxygen as shown in diagram 1.

Will Florine react? will it combine with other elements?

Alexxx [7]

Fluorine is the most active chemical element, reacting with virtually every element. It even reacts with the noble gases at high temperatures and pressures. The noble gases, or Group 18 (VIIIA), also known as the inert gases, generally do not react with other elements.

Answer:

r = 3.61x $10^{-6}$ M/s

Explanation:

The rate of disappearance (r) is given by the multiplication of the concentrations of the reagents, each one raised of the coefficient of the reaction.

r = k. $[S2O2^{-8} ]^{x} x [I^{-} ]^{y}$

K is the constant of the reaction, and doesn't depends on the concentrations. First, let's find the coefficients x and y. Let's use the first and the second experiments, and lets divide 1º by 2º :

$\frac{r1}{r2} = \frac{0.018^{x} x0.036^{y} }{0.027^xx0.036^y}$
