Answer:

             Option-B (Carbon and Silicon)

Explanation:

                  Among the given pairs only carbon and silicon have the most similar properties. This is because,

Sodium and Magnesium belong to different groups. Sodium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Magnesium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.

Example:

                                           2 Na  +  Cl₂    →     NaCl

                                           Mg  +  Cl₂    →    MgCl₂

As shown in reactions when Sodium and Magnesium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.

Carbon and Silicon show almost same properties because both belong to Group IV hence both are capable of forming four bonds. Also, they share the same property of self linkage in making a long chains.

Argon and Chlorine also belong to two different groups. Argon is present in Group VIII (Noble Gases) and Chlorine is present in Group VII (Halogens). Hence, Argon is an inert specie which is non reactive while Chlorine gives different reaction easily.

Potassium and Calcium belong to different groups. Potassium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Calcium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.

Example:

                                           2 K  +  Cl₂    →     KCl

                                           Ca  +  Cl₂    →    CaCl₂

As shown in reactions when Potassium and Calcium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.

Compounds X and Y are both C6H13Cl compounds formed in the radical chlorination of 3-methylpentane. Both X and Y undergo base-pr
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Y is a 3-chloro-3-methylpentane.

The structure is shown in the figure attached.

Explanation:

The radical chlorination of 3-methylpentane can lead to a tertiary substituted carbon (Y) and to a secondary one (X).

The E2 elimination mechanism, as shown in the figure, will happen with a simulyaneous attack from the base and elimination of the chlorine. This means that primary and secondary substracts undergo the E2 mechanism faster than tertiary substracts.

Which event occurs during high tide?
Leokris [45]

The answer to this question would be the second option or B (The moon's orbit is closer to Earth.) because there are multiple different high tides that are caused by either the moon being unusually close to the Earth or the moon is at it's Quarterly or New Moon phases.


Hope that this helped you! :D

Which best explains why the trend in noble gas boiling points increases down the group?A) increasing dispersion interactions B)
zhenek [66]

Answer:

A) increasing dispersion interactions

Explanation:

Polarizability allows gases containing atoms or nonpolar molecules (for example,  to condense. In these gases, the most important kind of interaction produces <em>dispersion forces</em>, <em>attractive forces that arise as a result of temporary dipoles induced in atoms or molecules.</em>

<em>Dispersion forces</em>, which are also called <em>London forces</em>, usually <u>increase with molar mass because molecules with larger molar mass tend to have more electrons</u>, and <u>dispersion forces increase in strength with the number of electrons</u>. Furthermore, larger molar mass often means a bigger atom whose electron distribution is more easily disturbed because the outer electrons are less tightly held by the nuclei.

Because the noble gases are all nonpolar molecules, <u>the only attractive intermolecular  forces present are the dispersion forces</u>.
