Fluoride is moderately basic, by far the most basic of the halides. It is a terrible leaving group. Fluoride is many orders of m

agnitude better than bromide in leaving group ability. Bromide is many orders of magnitude better than fluoride in leaving group ability. Bromide ion is so weak it is not considered at all basic; it is an excellent leaving group.

Answer:   Bromide is many orders of magnitude better than fluoride in leaving group ability

Explanation:

As Size of an atom  Increases,  the Basicity Decreases this is because  if we move downwards  from the top of the periodic table to the bottom of the periodic table, the size of an atom increases. As size increases, basicity will decrease, meaning the element  will be less likely to act as a base implying that the element will be less likely to share its electrons.

in the same vein. With an increase in size, basicity decreases, making the ability of the leaving group to leave increase to increase . This can be seen in the halogens going down the group  from

F--- worst

Cl----fair

Br ----good

 I-----excellent

with fluorine having the worst ability to leave than Bromine which is better in terms of the leaving group ability.

You find apiece of limestone on ahike. what substances are likely to have formed that rock?
enyata [817]

Limestone is mainly made up of calcium carbonate, CaCO3. When it is heated, it breaks down to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Calcium oxide reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide. But if u wanna know how it is formed? It's formed by erosion and weathering which is a type of 'Sedimentary Rock'. Erosion and weathering, carried rocks and end up at the sea or ocean. Which is the end way to go! At there, rocks combined by adding more and more just under the sea. The combination of rocks made it harden. First, it was just small little eroded particles end up at the sea. But at last, it became a very hard rock which isn't easy to break!

Explain why is sodium less reactive than potassium
leva [86]

Answer:

As potassium is larger than sodium, potassium's valence electron is at a greater distance from the attractive nucleus and is so removed more easily than sodium's valence electron. As it is removed more easily, it requires less energy, and can be said to be more reactive.

Use the pull-down boxes to specify states such as (aq) or (s). If a box is not needed leave it blank. If no reaction occurs leav
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

ZnS(s) ⇄ S²⁻(aq) + Zn²⁺(aq)

Explanation:

First, we will write the molecular equation, since it is easier to balance.

2 HBr(aq) + ZnS(s) ⇄ H₂S(aq) + ZnBr₂(aq)

In the full ionic equation we include all ions and molecular species.

2 H⁺(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq) + ZnS(s) ⇄ 2 H⁺(aq) + S²⁻(aq) + Zn²⁺(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq)

In the net ionic equation we include only the ions that participate in the reaction and the molecular species.

ZnS(s) ⇄ S²⁻(aq) + Zn²⁺(aq)
