Bromine attracts electrons more strongly. Cesium is In fact the least electro negative element.

Sodium is more likely to lose an electron because is is less electro negative. Strong electronegativity make the element want more electrons. Sodium has loose electrons with a lower electronegativity so it gives it up easier.

Explanation:

1.    Cesium (Cs) is a group 1 element and it has electronic configuration [Xe] 6s^{1}.

On the other hand, bromine is a group 7 element and it has electronic configuration [Ar] 3d^{10}4s^{2}40^{5}.

Since, Cs is a metal so it will readily lose 1 electron but bromine being a non-metal needs 1 electron to completely fill its orbital.

Hence, bromine atom will attract electrons more strongly.

2.   Sodium (Na) is a a group 1 element and it has electronic configuration 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{1}.

Whereas, chlorine is a group 7 element and it has electronic configuration 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{5}.

So, sodium is a metal hence, it readily loses its one electron and chlorine being a non-metal will attract one electron in order to completely fill its orbital.

Thus, we can conclude that sodium (Na) atom loses an electron more readily.

_________ is a systematic method of naming chemical compounds. This creates an unambiguous and consistent name for any chemical
Vlada [557]

Answer: IUPAC NOMENCLATURE

Explanation:

IUPAC stands for International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. They devised a systematic method for naming compounds in order to create a uniform global unambiguous system of nomenclature hence making it easier for researchers to share information more freely without the hindrance of reporting the same compound using different names in different parts of the world thus creating confusion in chemical literature.

A certain reaction with an activation energy of 205 kj/mol was run at 485 k and again at 505 k . what is the ratio of f at the h
lapo4ka [179]
Arrhenius' Law relates activation energy, Ea, rate constant, K, and temperature, T as per this equation:

K (T) = A * e ^ (-Ea / RT), where R is the universal constant of gases and A is a constant which accounts for collision frequency..

Then you can find the ration between K's at two different temperatures as:

K1 = A * e ^ (-Ea / RT1)

K2 = A* e ^(-Ea / RT2)

=> K1 / K2 = e ^ { (-Ea / RT1) - Ea / RT2) }

=> K1 / K2 = e ^ {(-Ea/ R ) *( 1 / T1 - 1 T2) }

=> K1 / K2 = e^ { (-205,000 j/mol / 8.314 j/mol*k )* ( 1 / 505K - 1/ 485K) }

=> K1 / K2 = e ^ (2.0134494) ≈ 7.5

Answer: 7.5
