Explain halogens reactivity in terms of outer electron’s distance from nucleus and electronic shielding

Chemistry

Answer:

Fluorine is the most reactive halogen followed by chlorine, bromine and iodine

Explanation:

The reactivity of halogens decreases down the group, that is, fluorine is the most reactive halogen followed by chlorine and bromine. The least reactive halogen is iodine.

There are several reasons and viewpoints explaining this concept:

  • Fluorine is the smallest atom of all halogens, since: (a) it has the lowest number of electron shells and (b) it has the greatest electronegativity, so that the electrons are attracted with the greatest force towards the nucleus. Therefore, it has the lowest radius. This means when the protons in the nucleus attract the electrons from another atom, the distance between the nucleus of fluorine and the electrons of another atom will be the smallest of all halogens. The lower the distance, the greater the attraction force, so that we obtain the strongest bond with fluorine and the weakest with iodine, as iodine has the greatest radius of all. From this standpoint, fluorine is the most reactive.
  • Similarly, fluorine is least shielded atom, as it only has two valence shells. Going down the group, the number of shells increases, so iodine is the most shielded atom. Shielding increases the atomic radius, so that it's easier for fluorine to approach the electrons from the valence shell of another atom compared to more shielded chlorine, bromine and iodine.

Classify the following atom as excited, ground state, or not possible.<br><br> 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3p^1
Luda [366]
According to Pauli's exclusion principle, the energy levels of the subshells should be arranged in an increasing manner. The energy of each subshell can be computed. In the sequence, the given subshells are arranged in a correct order. 30p allows 6 electrons at maximum so this configuration is considered as ground state

Talja [164]

The mass of solute per 100 mL of solution is abbreviated as (m/v). Mass is not technically the same thing as weight, but the abbreviation (w/v) is also common. 262 grams of sucrose are needed to make 655 mL of a 40.0% (w/v) sucrose solution

<h3>Define Solute</h3>

A solute is a material that dissolves in a solution. The amount of solvent present in fluid solutions is greater than the amount of solute. The two most common examples of solutions in daily life are salt and water. Salt is the solute because it dissolves in water.

<h3>forms of ratios for product concentration or yield:-</h3>
  • w/v:- Weight by volume or weight per volume are the terms used. Any solid compound's concentration in a liquid can be calculated using it. It is measurable in gm/ml.
  • Weight by weight ratio is referred to as w/w.It is employed to determine the final yield of the compound obtained from the starting compound. as in —mg/—gm.

       It provides the real yield of the substance or item.

  • Volume/volume. It is used to specify a liquid's composition or percent in a liquid compound.

using w/v we can calculate the weight of sucrose:-

40.0% means 40 g sucrose/ 100 g solution

40.0g sucrose x (655/100)=grams of sucrose

262  grams of sucrose are needed to make 655 mL of a 40.0% (w/v) sucrose solution.
