Hey there!:

Genrally as the metalic character decreases basicity character decreases while acidic character increases .

Cs2O > MgO > SnO2 > P4O10 > Cl2O7

Answer 5

Hope this helps !

Answer:

5) Cs2O > MgO > SnO2 > P4O10 > Cl2O7

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the decreasing basicity order depends on the metal contained into the oxide, in such a way, on the attached picture you will find how the basicity increases leftwards and downwards on the periodic table, as the metallic character does.

In this manner, as the cesium in the Cs₂O is the leftest atom, it is the most basic, next MgO, afterwards SnO₂, then P₄O₁₀ and finally Cl₂O₇, therefore, the order is: 5) Cs₂O> MgO > SnO₂> P₄O₁₀> Cl₂O₇.

Best regards.

What is the number of electrons will chlorine most likely gain/lose
LuckyWell [14K]

Gain 1.

This is because of Chlorine's placement on the periodic table. Chlorine is a Halogen, thus being located in group 17 or 7A. This means it is one of the closest elements to being a Noble Gas or group 18/8A.

Chlorine has 7 valence electrons, and in order for it to become a Noble Gas, it needs 8. Cl- is typically the symbol used to represent this as Chlorine needs to gain an electrons instead of lose; once Chlorine gains the electron, it will be stable.

This also means that Chlorine has a high ionization energy or, in simpler terms, it would be difficult to remove an electron from Chlorine.

Hope this helps!
