Why are the alkali metals and the halogens very reactive

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.

Deffense [45]

Answer:

$\sf \boxed{4} \mapsto Pipet$

$\sf\boxed{7}\mapsto Test \:tube \: rack$

$\sf\boxed{3}\mapsto Test\: table$

$\sf\boxed{5}\mapsto Scoopula$

$\sf\boxed{1}\mapsto Graduated\: cylinder$

$\sf\boxed{9}\mapsto Bunsen \:burner$

$\sf\boxed{2}\mapsto Beaker$

$\sf \boxed{8}\mapsto Spot\: plate$

$\sf\boxed{6}\mapsto Goggles$

Explanation:

Pipet is used to dispense a very small amount of liquid.

Test tube rack is used to hold multiple test tubes at the same time.

Test Table is used to view chemical reactions or hold or heat small amounts of substance.

Scoopula is used to dispense chemicals from a larger container.

Graduated cylinder is used to measure volume very precisely.

Bunsen burner is used to heat objects.

Beaker is used to transport heat or store substance.

Spot plate is used to observe the color changes of small quantities of a reacting mixture.

Goggles are used to protect the eyes from flying objects or chemical splashes.

Bubba falls out of a plane flying over his peanut field. What will bubba speed be after falling for 8 seconds?

chubhunter [2.5K]

Variables we know:

t = 8 seconds

Vi = 0 m/s

g = -9.81

Δy = ?

Vf = ?

Equation we will be using to solve for Vf: Vf = Vi + gt

Steps to solve:

Vf = (0) + (-9.81)(8)

Vf = -78.48 m/s

Hope this helps!! :)
