The number of valence electrons and electronegativity of an element in the unknown element determines the other elements it reacts with.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The ability of an atom to attract the electrons for bonding is called electro negativity. When an atom has highjer electronegativity it can attract electrons stronger. When the atom's electronegativity is lower it can attract electrons weaker. This property is very important in the determination of how well an element can readily react with another element.  

The determination of an element's reactivity can also be done  by the number of valence electrons in the outermost shell. The elements that has valence electrons lesser than 4 will be giving its valence electron for getting 8 electrons in the next shell so that it can become an ion of stable nature. An element that has 4 electrons will form covelant bond. The elements that have greater than 4 electrons will be getting electrons from some other element.

ziro4ka [17]

Any physical matter that is obtained or made from plants, animals, or the ground without undergoing a chemical process is called a natural material. This is a true statement.

<h3>Features of natural materials</h3>

Natural materials are the physical matters that are made from plants, animals and ground(environment) which has not been subjected to any chemical processes for modification.

But any natural material that has undergone any chemical process which has been designed and manufactured to fulfil a particular purpose is called a synthetic material.

Therefore, any physical matter that is obtained or made from plants, animals, or the ground without undergoing a chemical process is called a natural material.

Consider a solution made from a nonvolatile solute and a volatile solvent. Which statement is true?
34kurt

Answer:

b) The boiling point of the solution is always greater than the boiling point of the pure solvent.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, when we add a nonvolatile solute to a volatile solvent which has a relatively low boiling point, we can evidence the increase of the boiling point of the resulting solution as more energy must be supplied to take the molecules from liquid to gas. This fact matches with the boiling point elevation colligative property due to the solute's addition, which states that the boiling point of the solution is always greater than the boiling point of the pure solvent, therefore, answer is b).

Best regards.
