The thing that governs whether a reaction is exothermic is the energy given out / used up to break / form the bonds in the reaction. 

<span>When two substances react, the bonds in those substances first break up, releasing energy, before re-forming in a different way, taking in energy. The nature of the bonds that are broken up and reformed determines whether more energy is given out (exothermic) or taken in (endothermic)</span>

What is the total number of elements in group 17 that are gases at room temperature and standard pressure?
White raven [17]

Answer:

Only to elements are gases at room temperature and standard pressure.

Fluorine and chlorine.

Explanation:

The group 17 is called halogen.

There are five elements in halogen group.

All halogens required one electrons to complete the octet and to get the noble gas electronic configuration.

All halogen elements have seven valance electrons.

Halogen elements:

Fluorine, chlorine, Bromine, iodine and astatine

Fluorine is gas at room temperature which s 25°C and standard pressure which is 1 atm.

It is present in the from of F₂.

Chlorine is also gas at room temperature and standard pressure.

It is present in the from of Cl₂.

The bromine is liquid under these condition.

Iodine and astatine are solids.

As we move down the group their melting and boiling points increases.

Explain briefly why ammonia and oxygen molecules participate readily in coordinate bonding. Give an example for the formation of
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Explanation:

When one atom supplies both electrons in forming a two-electron bond, it is known as a dative covalent or coordinate bond. ... In this case, the nitrogen atom has a lone pair of electrons that coordinates to the hydrogen cation, which has zero electrons, forming a covalent bond.
