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.

notsponge [240]

P1 * V1 ÷ T1 = P2 * V2 ÷ T2  

45 * 1.20 ÷ 314 = 96 * V2 ÷ 420  

30,144 * V2 = 22,680  

V2 = 22,680 ÷ 30,144  

The new volume is approximately 0.75 liter.

A voltaic cell has a zinc anode and a copper cathode. They are connected by a wire but no salt bridge. What can you predict will
Allisa [31]

The prediction is that B. The electrons will flow to the zinc anode where a negative charge will build up and eventually halt the reaction.

<h3>What is zinc?</h3>

This is known as a chemical element, of the periodic table, that is essential to life and is one of the most widely used metals. Zinc is of considerable commercial importance.

Without the salt bridge, positive and negative charges will build up around the electrodes causing the reaction to stop.

Hence, we know that the purpose of the salt bridge is to keep the solutions electrically neutral and allow the free flow of ions from one cell to another.
