Elements that tend to gain electrons to form anions during chemical reactions are called non-metals. These are electronegative elements with high ionization energies. They are non-lustrous, brittle and poor conductors of heat and electricity (except graphite).

How does the highly reactive nature chlorine contribute to the creation of ozone holes in the upper atmosphere?

liberstina [14]

Chlorine is a halogen and is very reactive and unstable. If released in an elemental form (Cl2), it would react with other substances immediately. However, <span>chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which contain chlorine are unreactive and when released they eventually end up in the upper atmosphere still "intact". In the upper atmosphere, sunlight is more intense and is able to break apart CFC, releasing the highly reactive chlorine which in turns destroys ozone which is more abundant in the upper atmosphere (stratosphere). </span>

In addition to the two types of motion found in liquids, gases have <br> What kind of motion

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

In liquids, particles are quite close together and move with random motion throughout the container. Particles move rapidly in all directions but collide with each other more frequently than in gases due to shorter distances between particles.

Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

Using Dimensional Analysis

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] 1.51 × 10²⁶ atoms Xe

[Solve] moles Xe

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 1.51 \cdot 10^{26} \ atoms \ Xe(\frac{1 \ mol \ Xe}{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ Xe})$
[DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 250.747 \ mol \ Xe$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rule and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

250.747 mol Xe ≈ 251 mol Xe
