Why aren't alkali metals found in pure form?

Chemistry

Llana [10]4 years ago

It mostly because they're so reactive and if they were in their pure form and touched water they would have a very violent reaction. They also want to be more stable so they look for more electrons and quickly bond.

Which of the following halogens has the largest atomic radius?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ Iodine }}

Explanation:

Atomic radius is the measurement from the nucleus to the outer edge of the electron cloud.

As you go down a group (vertically) the atomic radius increases because more electron shells are added. As you go across a period horizontally, the atomic radius decreases.  

If we look at the halogens group (17), we see they follow this order from top to bottom:

F - Fluorine

Cl - Chlorine

Br - Bromine

I - Iodine

Since it increases down the group, iodine  must have the largest atomic radius.

Which of the following particles has almost no mass? proton neutron electron
ahrayia [7]

<u>Answer:</u> Electron has almost no mass.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass is defined as the actual matter that is contained in a substance. At an atomic level, it is expressed in atomic mass units.

The given options are the 3 subatomic particles.

Mass of the given subatomic particles are:

Proton = 1.007276u

Neutron = 1.008664u

Electron = 0.0005485u

Mass of neutron is slightly more than the mass of proton.

From the above information, it is visible that electron has a negligible mass.

Hence, the correct answer is electron.
