<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.

Given the standard entropy values in the table, what is the value of º for the following reaction?
Mandarinka [93]
Hello.

The answer is <span>+313.766 J/mol·K
</span>
 Use the coefficients of the reaction and sum the product entropies less the reactant entropies:

4*188.8 + 2*213.7 - 3*205.1 - 2* 126.8 = 313.7 J/mol*K

What property of hydrocarbon molecules correlates to the viscosity of a particular fraction when it is cooled to room temperatur
lora16 [44]
Because of differences in molecular structure, the empirical formula remains different between hydrocarbons; in linear, or "straight-run" alkanes, alkenes and alkynes, the amount of bonded hydrogen lessens in alkenes and alkynes due to the "self-bonding" or catenation of carbon preventing entire saturation of the hydrocarbon by the formation of double or triple bonds. 

<span>This inherent ability of hydrocarbons to bond to themselves is referred to as catenation, and allows hydrocarbon to form more complex molecules, such as cyclohexane, and in rarer cases, arenes such as benzene. This ability comes from the fact that bond character between carbon atoms is entirely non-polar, in that the distribution of electrons between the two elements is somewhat even due to the same electronegativity values of the elements (~0.30), and does not result in the formation of an electrophile. 

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!
