<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is chemical reactivity of metals increases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Chemical reactivity is defined as the tendency of an element to loose of gain electrons.

Metals are the elements which looses electrons and hence, their chemical reactivity will be the tendency to loose electrons. Their chemical reactivity increases as we move from top to bottom in a group. This is so because, the electron get added up in the new shell. So, the electron in the outermost orbital gets far away from the nucleus. And hence, this will be lost easily. Thus, the chemical reactivity gets increases.

Non-metals are the elements which gains electrons and hence, their chemical reactivity will be the tendency to loose electrons. Their chemical reactivity decreases as we move from top to bottom in a group. As, the electrons get added up in the new shell. So, the the electron in the outermost orbital gets far away from the nucleus. And hence, the electron will be difficult to gain. Thus, the chemical reactivity of non-metals decreases.

Hence, the correct answer is chemical reactivity of metals increases.

A gas is at a pressure of 3.70 atm. What is this pressure in kilopascals?
Yanka [14]
Answer:
                =   374.90 kPa 

Calculation:
                  As we know atm and kiloPascal are related to each other as,

                                         1 atm  =  101.325 kPa
So,
                                    3.70 atm  =   X
Solving for X,
                                     X  = (3.70 atm × 101.325 kPa) ÷ 1 atm

                                     X  =  374.90 kPa
