Reactivity is the tendency of a substance to undergo chemical reaction, either by itself or with other materials, and to release energy.

A)

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we say that a substance has high reactivity then it means the substance is able to react readily with another substance.

For example, atomic number of potassium is 19 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 8, 1.

Since, it has only one valence electron and to attain stability it just needs 8 electrons in its valence shell. So, it will readily lose its 1 valence electron and thus become very much reactive in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that for a substance to have high reactivity it means that it reacts easily with other substances.

Which one of the following compounds is not covalent?
denpristay [2]
KCI is not a covalent compound, it is an ionic compound. 
A covalent compound is one in which each of the atoms involved contribute a specific number of electrons for sharing in order to from stable compound while an ionic compound is a compound formed when one atom donates electron to the other atom in the compound, in order to attain stability.  The compounds given in options A, B and D shared electrons while in KCl, potassium donates an electron to chlorine.

Alina [70]

Answer:

<h2>0.059 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{3.55 \times  {10}^{22} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\  = 0.05897...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.059 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

Why do you think steeples and roofs might appear green, but a copper square does not?
Masteriza [31]
Because the copper roofs, have been outside for a while and oxidization has occurred.
When metals become oxidized they rust, but when copper becomes oxidized, it turns greenish.
So copper roofs oxidize and turn green from being outside and a copper square doesn’t if it’s inside.

Which of the following would be investigated in reaction stoichiometry? Group of answer choices The types of bonds that break an
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The mass of potassium required to produce a known mass of potassium chloride

Explanation:

Stoichiometry deals with the relationship between amount of substances, mass of substances or volume of substances required in a chemical reaction. Stoichiometric relationships may involve reactants alone or reactants and products. These relationships are normally in the form of simple proportion.

A typical example is our answer option, the mass of potassium required could be used to determine the mass of potassium chloride produced after a balanced reaction equation is written.
