<span>Well, during the day, the water, as well as the surfaces surrounding the water, are heated by various thermodynamic processes: conduction, convection, radiation, etc. This in turn warms the water molecules in the lakes, streams, rivers, and oceans, thereby transferring heat (their kinetic energy) to the water molecules, which in turn receive that energy from the surrounding surfaces, or directly via radiation/insolation from the sun. When the water molecules attain enough energy, some of them attain enough energy to escape the surface of the liquid and enter the gas phase. Hence, as water is heated, more and more water molecules attain enough kinetic energy to enter the gas phase.</span>

The water molecules obtain enough kinetic energy by getting heat from the sun to make it into a gas state.

Which element would have the lowest electronegativity? (1 point)
irinina [24]

The element that will have the lowest electronegativity is an element with a small number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius.

Electronegativity of an element is the ability or power of that element in a molecule to attract electrons to its Valence electrons.  The following are the properties of electronegativity:

  • It increases across a period from left to right of the periodic table,
  • It decreases down the periodic table groups
  • Group 1 elements are the least (lowest) electronegative elements. These elements have the lowest valence electrons with a large atomic radius.
  • Group 7 elements are the most electronegative elements.

Atomic radius of elements increase down a group because of a progressive increase in the number of shells occupied by electrons which increases the size. But it decreases across a period because electrons are accommodated within the same shell leading to greater attraction by the protons in the nucleus.

Predict the products for the following equation.
coldgirl [10]

Answer: AgCl + Fe

Explanation:

A single replacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus one element should be different from another element.

A general single displacement reaction can be represented as :

XY+Z\rightarrow XZ+Y

The blanced chemical reaction will be :

3Ag+FeCl_3\rightarrow 3AgCl+Fe
