Oxygen is more reactive than fluorine because oxygen needs only one electron to fill its outermost shell.

Neon is inert because its outermost shell is complete. Neon is already in noble gas configuration and it will be very difficult to change this, essentially making it inert.

Nitrogen is inert because its outermost shell has eight electrons. Nitrogen's outermost shell only has 3 electrons so it is generally unstable and wants to gain 3 more to be in noble gas configuration.

Oxygen is more reactive than fluorine because oxygen needs only one electron to fill its outermost shell. This is just completely false, Fluorine is the most reaction element there is.

Fluorine is more reactive than neon because fluorine has to lose only one electron to fill its outermost shell. Although fluorine is more reactive, this is because it only needs to GAIN one more electron, not lose one more.

Which is a nonrenewable source of energy?<br> Wind <br> Hydropower <br> Natural Gas<br> Solar Energy

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Natural Gas

Explanation:

Let's remember: A non-renewable resource means a source that is used faster than it can be replaced. The sun will always be there for solar energy. Wind will always be there for wind energy. Hydropower isn't always there, but it is a semi-renewable source because it is replenished relatively fast. We are left with natural gas, and it takes millions of years to replace.

Choose the appropriate electron configuration for an element whose third shell contains six electrons.

slamgirl [31]

For an element whose third shell contains six electrons, the appropriate electron configuration is; 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4.

The electron configuration shows the distribution of electrons in the shells of an atom and in orbitals.

We have been told that the six electrons are found in the third shell. This shell has n=3 and the configuration of this shell must ns2 np4.

The only electron configuration that meets this standard is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4.

PLZ ANSWER QUICKLY! The electronegativity values of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen are compared in the table. Comparison of Elec

andriy [413]

Answer:

c. CH4 < NH3 because the NH bond is more polar than the CH bond.

Explanation:

Actually, the electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is just about 0.4. This meager difference in electronegativity corresponds to a nonpolar bond between the two atoms.

However, the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and hydrogen is about 0.9. This larger electronegativity difference corresponds to the existence of a polar covalent bond between the two atoms.

Hence the N-H bond is significantly polar unlike the C-H bond. This implies that CH4 molecules are only held together by weak dispersion forces while NH3 molecules are held together by stronger dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonds.
