Answer:

Option B. Sodium

Explanation:

In the formation of NaCl, sodium loses and electron while chlorine receives the electron as illustrated below:

Na —> Na+ + e- ....... (1)

Cl + e- —> Cl- ......... (2)

Now, combining equation 1 and 2 we have:

Na + Cl + e- —> Na+ + Cl- + e-

Cancelling the electron from both side, we obtained:

Na + Cl —> Na+Cl-

From the above illustration, we see clearly that sodium loses electron

When 1 mole of H2(g) reacts with F2(g) to form HF(g) according to the following equation, 542 kJ of energy are evolved H2(g) + F
topjm [15]

Answer: The reaction is exothermic. The value of q is  -542 kJ.

Explanation:

Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and  for the reaction comes out to be positive.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and  for the reaction comes out to be negative.

Thus H_2(g)+F_2(g)\rightarrow 2HF(g) evolves heat , it is exothermic in nature. The value of q is -542kJ.

Bromine vs Chlorine | Br vs Cl

 

Halogens are group VII elements in the periodic table, and all are electronegative elements and have the capability to produce -1 anions.

Bromine

Bromine is denoted by the symbol Br. This is in the 4th period of the periodic table between chlorine and iodine halogens. Its electronic configuration is [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p5. The atomic number of bromine is 35. Its atomic mass is 79.904. Bromine staChlorine is an element in the periodic table which is denoted by Cl.  It is a halogen (17th group) in the 3rd period of the periodic table. The atomic number of chlorine is 17; thus, it has seventeen protons and seventeen electrons. Its electron configuration is written as 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5. Since the p sub level should have 6 electrons to obtain the Argon, noble gas electron configuration, chlorine has the ability to attract an electron. ys as a red-brown color liquid at room temperature.

how do the properties of compounds compare to the properties of the elements from which they are composed
Crank
<span>The elements that form the compound don't compare because it doesn't matter about the elements when they are combined. The elements that formed it together is completely different than the outcome compound. </span>

Summary of a trade-off between. Potential and kinetic energy
uranmaximum [27]
Simply put, Potential energy is the "build up". If I had a ball on the top a 5ft slide, it would have potential energy, as long as it hasn't slid down yet.

If I had another ball on a 10ft slide, it would have twice the potential energy the first ball had.

What comes next is kinetic energy, which is the energy used when the object is moving, like the ball as it goes down the slide. The faster it moves, the more kinetic energy. 

Basically, <em>Potential</em> is the "build up" but it does not, I repeat does not move.

<em>Kinetic</em> energy is the use of the "build up" through movement.
