Why are the alkali metals and the halogens very reactive

Chemistry
1 answer:
jeyben [28]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Answer in explanation

Explanation:

The reactivity or passiveness of an element depends solely on how close it is to attain a noble gas configuration. This means the closer an element is to attain a noble gas configuration, the greater its reactivity in both direction, positively or negatively.

Alkali metals belong to group 1 of the periodic table while halogens belong to group 17 of the periodic table. This means they are just one electron away from achieving the stability of a noble gas configuration. While alkali metals need to lose one electron to form a univalent positive ion, halogens news to gain one electron to form a univalent negative ion.

They tend to go about this vigorously and as such undergo several chemical reactions because of that single electron they neeed.

What are the two different Energetics that relate to Environmental Science
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Organisms inhabit nearly every environment on Earth, from hot vents deep in the ocean floor to the icy reaches of the Arctic. Each environment offers both resources and constraints that shape the appearance of the species that inhabit it, and the strategies these species use to survive and reproduce. Some of the broadest patterns of environmental difference arise from the way our planet orbits the Sun and the resulting global distribution of sunlight (Chapin et al. 2002).

Explanation:

In the tropics, where solar radiation is plentiful year-round, temperatures are warm, and plants may photosynthesize continuously as long as water and nutrients are available. In polar regions, where solar radiation is seasonally limited, mean temperatures are much lower, and organisms must cope with extended periods when photosynthesis ceases.

A laser used to read CDs emits red light of wavelength 700 nm. How many photons does it emit each second if its power is?(a) 0.1
Elenna [48]

power = work/time

watt = joule/sec

a) power = 0.10 watt = 0.1joules/sec

work = power * time

= 0.10 * 1 =0.1joules

work is northing but energy

therefore energy is 0.1joules

according to planks quantum theory E = nhν where nis the no. of photons ; h is planks constant; ν isfrequency

hence, n = E/hν

or n = Eλ/hc (ν = c/λ)

n = (0.1*700*10^-9)/6.625*10^-34*3*10^8 = 0.3522*10^18photons

b) similar to the above calculation

here E = 1.0joules

n = (1.0*700*10^-9)/6.625*10^-34*3*10^8 = 0.3522*10^17photons

If a person looking at a poster sees green instead of yellow and doesn't see red at all, this person most likely has color blind
Inga [223]
<span>People with protanopia are unable to sense any ‘red’ light, people with deuteranopia do not sense ‘green’ light and people with tritanopia cannot sense ‘blue’ light. If a person perceives the color green, then the yellow sensitive nerves must work somewhat effectively since green is a combination of yellow and blue. Red-sensitive nerves are most likely not responding properly for this person. The answer is C.</span>
