What property of an atom determines its general reactivity

Chemistry

The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom determines its reactivity. EX: noble gases have a low reactivity because they have a full electron shell, and don't need any more outermost ones.
EX: halogens are highly reactive because they readily gain an electron to fill their outermost shell

Why does a salt compound give off light (or a colored flame) when burned? 4. did lithium chloride and sodium chloride give off s
Free_Kalibri [48]

3) Answer is: because elements have different emmision spectrum.

Emission spectrum of a chemical element is the spectrum of frequencies emitted due to an atom making a transition from a high energy state to a lower energy state. Each element's emission spectrum is unique.

4) Answer is: lithium chloride and sodium chloride do not have similar colors.

Lithium ion has red and sodium ion has yellow emission spectrum.

5) Answer is: because metals have valence electrons in different energy shells.

Each transition has a specific energy difference.

6) Answer is: salts of alkaline and earth alkaline metals.

For example barium chloride gives green light.

Which statement is true about trends shown on the electromagnetic scale.
lawyer [7]
Remember that <span>λ, or wavelength, is proportional to (1/f), where f=frequency. That means that wavelength and frequency are inversely related. When one goes up, the other goes down, and vice versa. That means answers C and D are incorrect because those answers have wavelength and frequency in a direct relationship.

Radiant energy is directly proportional to frequency. When frequency increases, radiant energy increases. That means A) </span><span>As wavelength decreases, radiant energy and frequency increase is the correct answer.</span>

The compound P4S3 is used in matches and reacts with oxygen through the chemical reaction shown below.
devlian [24]

Answer:

m_{SO_2}=0.175gSO_2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the first step is to write the properly balanced chemical reaction:

P_4S_3 (s) +  8O_2 (g)\rightarrow P_4O_{10}(s) +  3SO_2 (g)

We can see that given the 0.200 g of P4S3 (molar mass 220 g/mol) the mole ratio between it and SO2 (molar mass 64 g/mol) is 1:3, therefore, the produced mass of SO2 turns out:

m_{SO_2}=0.200gP_4S_3*\frac{1molP_4S_3}{220gP_4S_3} *\frac{3molSO_2}{1molP_4S_3} *\frac{64gSO_2}{1molSO_2} \\\\m_{SO_2}=0.175gSO_2

Best regards.

A carbon-12 atom has a mass of 12.00000 amu. The mass of a proton is 1.00728 amu, and the mass of a neutron is 1.00866 amu. How
9966 [12]
<span>A carbon - 12 atom and a regular carbon atom would have the same number of protons which is 6. So a carbon - 12 atom would have 6 protons. Both, however, would differ in the number of neutrons. Carbon - 12 atom has 6 neutrons. To determine the mass defect of a carbon - 12 atom, we have to add the total mass of protons and the total mass of neutrons and subtract the known mass of a carbon - 12 atom. That would be like this.<span>
6 (1.00728 amu) + 6 (1.00866 amu) = x
<span>6.04368 amu<span> + 6.05196 amu = x</span></span>
12.09564 amu = x

Then subtract it with 12 amu to get the defect mass

12.09564 amu - 12.00000 amu = y
0.09564 amu = y

<span>So the defect mass would be 0.09564 amu.</span></span></span>
