Sulfur has 16 protons and chlorine has 17 protons. Since the placement on the periodic table is equal to the number of protons, and also since it is impossible to have an element with a non-whole number of protons, there can be no element between sulfur and chlorine.

How do forensic scientist determine what exactly everything is
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Forensic methods and techniques.

Explanation:

Forensic methods and techniques include preparing for the execution of the examination, the examination, the collection of objects and samples, the preparation of evidence for laboratory expert evaluation, the interpretation and reporting of evidence.

The purpose of these techniques is to gather evidence to establish the truth.

The main goals of forensics are the reconstruction of the crime, the identification of the suspects, the determination of the motive of the crime, the arrest of the suspect. Forensics research is based on biology, physics, and chemistry. Forensics is one of the most important categories of criminalistics today.

Answer the questions about the characteristics of the elements in group 1 (the alkali metals). What happens when the elements in
irinina [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The elements in group form univalent positive ions and element in group 17 form univalent negative ions. Hence, when a group 1 element reacts with a group 17 element, a compound of the sort MX is formed. Hence, when a group 1 element reacts with bromine, a salt is formed with the general formula MBr.

Elements of group 1 are highly electro positive metals. They react with water to form the metal hydroxide and release hydrogen gas. Hence, when group 1 elements react with water, hydrogen gas is released.

A group 1 element forms a univalent positive ion while a group 16 element forms a divalent negative ion. Hence, when a groups 1 element reacts with oxygen, the compound formed must have the general formula M2O.

The reactivity of group 1 metal increases down the group hence Cs is the most reactive group 1 element.

Lithium displays a slightly different chemistry from other group 1 elements because of its small size.
