When a large fissile atomic nucleus such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239 absorbs a neutron, it may undergo nuclear fission. The heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei, (the fission products), releasing kinetic energy, gamma radiation, and freeneutrons

Which of the following elements is the least reactive metal? Sodium, Rubidium, Chlorine, and Magnesium.​
LuckyWell [14K]
First off chlorine is not a metal so you can ignore that one.

Sodium and Rubidium are in group 1 of the periodic table and Magnesium is in group 2.

Group one metals are more reactive than group two because it is harder for the group two metals to lose their 2 valence (outer most) electrons.

As you go down group 1 there is an increase in the reactivity this is because as you go down there is an increase in the atomic radius which leads to more shielding. This weakens the electrostatic forces of attraction making it easier to lose the outermost electrons, therefore they are more reactive.

Express the rate of the reaction in terms of the change in concentration of each of the reactants and products.
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

c. rate=−1/2Δ[HBr]/Δt=Δ[H2]/Δt=Δ[Br2]/Δt

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

2HBr(g)\rightarrow H_2(g)+Br_2(g)

Thus, the rate is given as:

rate=-\frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta [HBr]}{\Delta t}=\frac{\Delta [Br_2]}{\Delta t} =\frac{\Delta [H_2]}{\Delta t}

It is necessary to remember that each concentration to time interval is divided into the stoichiometric coefficient, that is why HBr has a 1/2. Moreover, the concentration HBr is negative since it is a reactant and it has a negative rate due to its consumption.

Therefore, the answer is:

c. rate=−1/2Δ[HBr]/Δt=Δ[H2]/Δt=Δ[Br2]/Δt

Best regards.

Which explains why krypton was most likely given this name
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Krypton is named after the Greek word that means "secret." Which explains why krypton was most likely given this name? Krypton is a noble gas, so it was difficult for chemists to find it, as though it was a secret.
