Of the following elements, which is the LEAST reactive? A. C B. H C. Li D. He

Chemistry
2 answers:
Semenov [28]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

<u><em>Definitely D: Helium</em></u>

Explanation:

The Electronegativity or pauling is its reactivity, aka the more likely it is to steal an electron. so if it doesnt have ANY reactivity like helium, there is no chance it will steal one. therefore its helium.

The least reactive elements are the noble gases since they have a full valence shell and thus require a lot of energy in order to form bonds.
For metals, reactivity increases as you move down a group and as you move leftward within a period.
The trend within a period is due to the increase in ionization energy caused by the decrease in electrons needed to be lost in order for an element achieve a full valence electron shell. The trend within a group is due to the valence shell being further away from the nucleus, resulting in less attractive forces and thus less energy needed for reaction.

For nonmetals, the trends are reversed. Reactivity as you move up a group and as you move rightward within a period.
As you move up a group, the element increases in electromagnetism and thus increasing its reactivity. As you move across a period, there is less electrons needed to be received in order for the element to achieve a full valence shell

If 41grams of water at 24°C absorbs 2208 J of heat energy, what will be the final temperature of the water?
aleksklad [387]
The problem can solved using the heat equation which is expressed as:

H = mCΔT

 where H is the energy absorbed or released, m is the mass of the substance, C is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

2208 J = 41 g x 4.18 J/g·°C x ( T - 24 °C) 
T = 36.88 °C

__________ reactions are used to detect antibodies for relatively large pathogens
givi [52]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, no worries I got you.

Here is the complete question;

__________ reactions are used to detect antibodies for relatively large pathogens, such as bacteria. For these tests, the antigen is mixed with the test sample at various dilutions. Reaction mixes are then monitored for the formation of visible aggregates.

Explanation:

AGGLUTINATION is the reaction used.

Agglutination is the reaction in which there is the clumping of particles. A agglutination reaction is the visible clumping of the bacterial cells as an antigen reacts with its corresponding antibody. This type is often used as an initial confirmation of specific pathogens. Agglutination tests is is used to detect antibody or antigen and it involves the  agglutination of bacteria, red cells, or antigen- or antibody-coated latex particles. It is therefor used for large pathogens like bacteria. In this reaction, antigens are introduced into various dilutions of antibodies in test tubes or surfaces of glass slides, visible clumping is observed which depends on the size of the antibodies, amount and acidity of the antibody molecule, time of incubation and as well as the environment of the reaction which includes optimum pH, protein concentration among others.
