Answer: Halogens tend to attract electrons when bonding (Option C)
Explanation: Halogens being non metals have greater electronegativities hence, attract electrons and making the statement disputed. Nobel gases are highly stable; this explains why they are nonreactive. They do not form chemical bonds because they only have a little tendency to either gain or lose an electron; on the other hand, halogens are reactive because they only need one additional electron to complete their octet.
Answer:
Option A; V = 2.92 L
Explanation:
If we assume a lot of things, like:
The gas is an ideal gas.
The temperature is constant.
The gas does not interchange mass with the environment.
Then we have the relation:
P*V = n*R*T = constant.
Where:
P = pressure
V = volume
n = number of moles
R = constant of the ideal gas
T = temperature.
We know that when P = 0.55 atm, the volume is 5.31 L
Then:
(0.55 atm)*(5.31 L) = constant
Now, when the gas is at standard pressure ( P = 1 atm)
We still have the relation:
P*V = constant = (0.55 atm)*(5.31 L)
(1 atm)*V = (0.55 atm)*(5.31 L)
Now we only need to solve this for V.
V = (0.55 atm/ 1 atm)*(5.31 L) = 2.92 L
V = 2.92 L
Then the correct option is A.
This is a neutron induced fission, therefore a neutron will be added to the U²³⁵ to cause the reaction, and thus it will be added to the left side. There will be unknown number of neutrons produced and thus we put this on the right hand side.
n₁ + U²³⁵ = Te¹³⁷ + Zr ⁹⁷ + xn1 ( n1 to mean a neutron of mass 1)
To balance the masses on both sides of the equation;
1 + 235 = 137 +97+ x
x = 2
the end reaction will be
n₁ +U²³⁵ = Te¹³⁷ + Zr⁹⁷ + 2 n₁
Because elemental mercury is a liquid at a room temperature
