Why are halogens reactive?

Chemistry
1 answer:
erica [24]2 years ago
8 0

<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.

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, and your lungs expand into it. The muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

A dilute solution is prepared by transferring 40.00 ml of a 0.3433 m stock solution to a 750.0 ml volumetric flask and diluting
alina1380 [7]
We are given with the initial volume of the substance and the molarity. The first thing that needs to be done is to multiply the equation in order to obtain the number of moles such as shown below.
  
    number of moles = (40 mL) x (1 L / 1000 mL) x (0.3433 moles / L)
           number of moles = 0.013732 moles

To get the value of the molarity of the diluted solution, we divide the number of moles by the total volume.
          molarity = (0.013732 moles) / (750 mL / 1000 mL/L) = 0.0183 M

Similarly, we can solve for the molarity by using the equation,
           M₁V₁ = M₂V₂
Substituting the known values in the equation,
     (0.3433 M)(40 mL) = M₂(750 mL)
              M₂ = 0.0183 M

What is Alkaline and Acid in full definition​
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The solution is neither acidic or basic. An acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ions. ... Because the base "soaks up" hydrogen ions, the result is a solution with more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions. This kind of solution is alkaline. Acidity and alkalinity are measured with a logarithmic scale called pH.
