Answer:

Because both CaCl2 and CaBr2 both contain elements (Chlorine and Bromine) from the same group (group 7)

Explanation:

Elements are placed into different groups in the periodic table. Elements in the same group are those that have the same number of valence electrons in their outermost shell and as a result will behave similar chemically i.e. will react with other elements in the same manner.

Chlorine and Bromine are two elements belonging to group 7 of the periodic table. They are called HALOGENS and they have seven valence electrons in their outermost shell. Hence, when they form a compound with Calcium, a group two element, these compounds (CaCl2 and CaBr2) will possess similar properties because they have elements that are from the same group (halogen group).

Give the major force between ethanol and rubbing alcohol.

insens350 [35]

The major force between ethanol and rubbing alcohol is hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bond are intermolecular force that are weaker than covalent bond but holds atoms together in a molecules. For an hydrogen bond to be formed, a molecule must contain an hydrogen atom that will be bonded to one of the most electronegative element.

Which of the following statements related to S N1 reactions is not true? - The heterolysis of a bond between atoms which do not

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The charged carbon atom of a carbocation has a complete octet of valence shell electrons

Explanation:

A charged carbon atom of a carbocation has a valence shell that is not filled, <u>that's why it acts as an electrophile (or a Lewis base)</u>. This unfilled valence shell is also the reason of the nucleophilic attack that takes place during the second step of a SN1 reaction.
