Fluorine is a toxic, reactive gas. Witch representation (structural formula, electron dot structure, or three-dimensional model)

would you use to explain why fluorine is so reactive? Why?

Answer: We will use the electron-dot structure to tell the reactivity of fluorine.

Explanation: Fluorine atom is the 9th element of the periodic table.

Atomic number: 9

Electronic configuration of fluorine = 1s^22s^22p^5

The number of valence electrons = 7

and the valency for this element = 1 (because this element requires only one electron to have a stable electronic configuration)

Electron dot structures are the structures which represent the valence electrons present around the nucleus of an atom. The dots in the structures represent the electrons.

Reactivity of an element is defined as its ability to gain or loose electrons easily.

As fluorine atom gains 1 electron easily, so it is very reactive.

Electron dot structure of fluorine atom is given in the image attached.

Ethylene produced by fermentation has a specific gravity of 0.787 at 25 degree Celsius. What is the volume of 125g of ethanol at
WITCHER [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of given amount of ethanol at this temperature is 159.44 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

Specific gravity is given by the formula:

\text{Specific gravity}=\frac{\text{Density of a substance}}{\text{Density of water}}

We are given:

Density of water = 0.997 g/mL

Specific gravity of ethanol = 0.787

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.787=\frac{\text{Density of a substance}}{0.997g/mL}\\\\\text{Density of a substance}=(0.787\times 0.997g/mL)=0.784g/mL

Density is defined as the ratio of mass and volume of a substance.

\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}} ......(1)

Given values:

Mass of ethanol = 125 g

Density of ethanol = 0.784 g/mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Volume of ethanol}=\frac{125g}{0.784g/mL}=159.44mL

Hence, the volume of given amount of ethanol at this temperature is 159.44 mL

Many angiosperms rely on animals for
slavikrds [6]
Many angiosperm species rely on the interaction between animals and their flowers for reproduction. As insects, birds or other animals move from one flower to another feeding on nectar, they commonly distribute pollen from flower to flower as they go which leads to plants being pollinated and seeds to be produced.

Based on the periodic table why are be, bg, ca and sr in the same column/group/family?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The elements are in the same column/group IIA.

See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

The elements Calcium, Strontium, Beryllium, Magnesium, Barium and Radio, belong to the group of alkaline earth metals located in group IIA of the periodic table, they require 2 electrons to complete their octet (they have 2 valence electrons). reagents than alkali metals.

How many molecules are in 2.50 moles of carbon dioxide?
podryga [215]

Answer:

1.5055×10²⁴ molecules

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of mole CO₂ = 2.5 moles

Number of molecules CO₂ =?

The number of molecules present in 2.5 moles CO₂ can be obtained as:

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

1 mole of CO₂ = 6.022×10²³ molecules

Therefore,

2.5 mole of CO₂ = 2.5 × 6.022×10²³

2.5 mole of CO₂ = 1.5055×10²⁴ molecules

Thus, 1.5055×10²⁴ molecules are present in 2.5 moles CO₂
