Which statement explains why large atoms are more reactive than small atoms?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lunna [17]2 years ago
8 0

A. Large atoms have valence electrons farther from the nucleus and lose them more readily, so they are more reactive than small atoms.

For example, the valence electron of a small atom like Li is tightly held. <em>Lithium gently fizzes</em> on the surface as it reacts with the water to produce hydrogen.

In contrast, the valence electron of a large atom like Cs is so loosely held that <em>cesium exlodes </em>on contact with water.

What are the disadvantages of aluminium fir building cars
Wittaler [7]

Disadvantages of aluminum in building cars include:

On average, aluminum is more expensive than steel, as much as two to three times.

Aluminum is not easily welded. If a steel door or panel suffers a crack, often it cam be welded back together easily, primed and repainted so its difficult to tell any body work has been performed. This cannot be done with aluminum. Steel  also can be bent and shaped as needed.

Body shops and even dealer service centers  are currently  equipped for steel work with technicians skilled in the art of welding and steel fabrication. The cost of switching over to an infra structure designed specifically for all-aluminum  vehicles or mass production of aluminum vehicles and components would be high.

Convert 27.7 kilometers to centimeters.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 2770000 cm.

Explanation:

1 kilometer = 1000 meter

1 meter = 100 centimeter

1 kilometer = 100*1000 cm

1 km = 100000 cm.

then,

27.7 kilometers = 2.77 × 10^6 centimeters

So, 27.7 kilometers = 27.7 × 100000

= 2.77 × 106 or 2770000 centimeters.
