Why are halogens reactive?

Chemistry

<u>Halogens are reactive because:</u>

They have high electronegativity and also high nuclear charge. So, they are reactive and also gain an electron when they react with other elements.

Since they are very reactive, halogens are very harmful to living organisms. Some of the halogens are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine. These are mostly non metals. Fluorine is one of the most reactive gas and also very toxic gas. When Fluorine reacts with glass along with small amounts of water, it forms silicon tetra fluoride (SiF4). Hence fluorine should be handled with substances like the inert organofluorine compound Teflon.

amid [387]

Answer:

MnSO₄.7H₂O

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to convert the mass of the dehydrated MnSO₄. The difference between mass of the hydrate and dehydrated compound is the mass of water. With the mass we can find the moles of water and the formula of the hydrate:

<em>Moles MnSO₄ -Molar mass: 151g/mol-:</em>

17.51g * (1mol / 151g) = 0.116 moles

<em>Moles H₂O -Molar mass: 18g/mol-:</em>

32.14g-17.51g = 14.63g * (1mol / 18g) = 0.813 moles

The ratio of moles MnSO₄: Moles H₂O represent the amount of water molecules in the hydrate:

0.813mol / 0.116mol = 7 molecules of water.

The hydrate formula is:

<h3>MnSO₄.7H₂O</h3>

How is electronegative related to covalent bonding?
serg [7]
Electronegativity is related to covalent bonding because when two atoms have the same electronegativity bond, they will form a pure covalent bond.

butalik [34]
According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactants will be equal to the mass of the products. The mass of products and reactants will only differ during a nuckear reaction
Changing of the physical state of water is not a nuclear reaction. So becoz of that the mass will remain constant without any change.

If earth did not rotate what would happen to the global winds and why?
Anna35 [415]
If earth didn't rotate the global winds would stay on the same speed of rate because the wind isn't moving without rotation in the earths axis.
