Option A. Smaller atoms and stronger bonds.
Smaller the size of the atoms, less will be the distance between positive charge nucleus of one atom and electrons (negative charge) of other atom. This results in strong interaction between them.
Also, stronger bonds are difficult to break, making the minerals harder. Thus, small atoms and strong bonds in minerals makes then harder than the minerals with weak bonds or larger atoms.
The estimated digit is dependent on the least count of the instrument being used. If the least count is 0.1 and the reading is between two divisions of the least count, then the estimated digit will be in the tenths, or 0.1 place. In this case, the estimated digit is 3, meaning the least count is 0.001.
Answer:
A. Nutrients are released into the soil
Hi there, the correct answer to this would be reactivity because color, melting point, and density are all examples of physical properties.
Answer:
1s² 2s² 2p⁵
Explanation:
The elements of group 17 are called halogens. These are six elements Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Astatine. Halogens are very reactive these elements can not be found free in nature. Their chemical properties are resemble greatly with each other. As we move down the group in periodic table size of halogens increases that's way fluorine is smaller in size as compared to other halogens elements. Their boiling points also increases down the group which changes their physical states. i.e fluorine is gas while iodine is solid.
Properties of fluorine:
1. it is yellow in color.
2. it is flammable gas.
3. it is highly corrosive.
4. fluorine has pungent smell.
5. its reactions with all other elements are very vigorous except neon, oxygen, krypton and helium.
6. Its atomic number of 9.
7. its atomic mass is 18.99 amu.
Electronic configuration:
₉F = 1s² 2s² 2p⁵
