Answer:

Electronegativity in group 1 decreases as we go from Lithium to Francium.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an element to attract an electron pair towards itself.

In a group generally this tendency decreases from top to bottom as the size of the atom increases and hence the positive nucleus get far from the outer orbital.

In the same way group 1 elements i.e. from Lithium to Francium electronegativity decreases.

What type of stress results when two plates push against one another?

Natasha2012 [34]

When two plates push against each other shear stress will happem because they move in opposite directions. In this case the force of the stress pushes some of the crust in different directions. When this happens, a large part of the crust can break off, which makes the plate size smaller.

Bromine reacts with nitric oxide to form nitrosyl bromide as shown in this reaction: br2(g) + 2 no(g) → 2 nobr(g) a possible mec

Svetach [21]

The overall reaction is given by:

$Br_{2}(g) + 2 NO(g) \rightarrow 2 NOBr(g)$

The fast step reaction is given as:

$NO(g) + Br_{2}(g) \rightleftharpoons NOBr_{2}(g) (fast; k_{eq}= \frac{k_{1}}{k_{-1}})$

The slow step reaction is given as:

$NOBr_{2}(g) + NO(g) \rightarrow 2 NOBr(g)$ (slow step $k_{2}$ )

Now, the expression for the rate of reaction of fast reaction is:

$r_{1}=k_{1}[NO][Br_{2}]-k_{-1}[NOBr_{2}]$

The expression for the rate of reaction of slow reaction is:

$r_{2}=k_{2}[NOBr_{2}] [NO]$

Slow step is the rate determining step. Thus, the overall rate of formation is the rate of formation of slow reaction as $[NOBr_{2}]$ takes place in this reaction.
