D. I or Iodine

This is because they are both in the same periodic family (the halogens) and thus the number of valence electrons are the same

Answer: (4) I (iodine)

Explanation:

Reactivity of elements follow a trend in such a manner that elements in the same group have similar chemical properties since they react in similar ways during chemical reaction. This similarity is as a result of the same number of valence electrons they have in their respective outer shell. This particular similarity is what classifies them into groups.

In this question, Chlorine is in the same group with Iodine and they're referred to as "halogens" and all halogen have similar chemical reactions. Example, they seek one valence electron to be stable. Easy formation of salts with metals etc

Half of the first 18 elements have an odd number of electrons, and half have an even number. Show why atoms of these elements ar
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Diamagnetism in atom occurs whenever two electrons in an orbital paired equalises with a total spin of 0.

Paramagnetism in atom occurs whenever at least one orbital of an atom has a net spin of electron. That is a paramagnetic electron is just an unpaired electron in the atom.

Here is a twist even if an atom have ten diamagnetic electrons, the presence of at least one paramagnetic electron, makes it to be considered as a paramagnetic atom.

Simply put paramagnetic elements are one that have unpaired electrons, whereas diamagnetic elements do have paired electron.

The atomic orbital and radius increases by gaining electron linearly so even electron numbered atoms are diamagnetic while the odd electron numbered atoms are paramagnetic.

Running through the first 18 elements one can observe that there is an alternative odd number of electrons and an even number proofing that that half of the first 18 elements shows paramagnetism and diamagnetism respectively.

How many ants would 6 giant anteaters need to eat in one year to get the matter and energy they need? Write a simple formula to
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

180,000 ants

Explanation:

For this problem we can create the following simple formula to solve this problem...

f(x) = 6x

where the variable x represents the number of ants that a single Anteater needs to eat per day. After a quick online search we can see that a single Anteater eats roughly 30,000 ants per day. If we use this value and plug it into the simple formula we can get the total number of ants 6 anteaters need to eat to survive.

f(x) = 6 * 30,000

f(x) = 180,000

Why is the law of conservation of mass law and not a theory?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as the system's mass cannot change, so quantity can neither be added nor be removed.

Explanation:

That is what I think on the subject
