Which of the following elements has the highest electronegativity? beryllium iodine calcium nitrogen

Chemistry

juin [17]3 years ago

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An atom or element which has the ability to readily gain an electron will have high electronegativity.

Both Beryllium and Calcium are alkaline earth metals and hence they are electropositive in nature.

Whereas both iodine and nitrogen are electronegative in nature. But across the period there is an increase in electronegativity and down the group there is a decrease in electronegativity.

Nitrogen belongs to period 2 and iodine belongs to the bottom of group 17. Thus, we can conclude that nitrogen is more electronegative than iodine.

Answer:

The correct option is: D. nitrogen                    

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the capability of a chemical element to attract or pull the bond pair involved in the formation of a covalent bond towards itself.

As the atomic radius of an element increases, its tendency to attract the bond pair towards itself decreases. Therefore, the electronegativity decreases.

Since in the periodic table, the <u>atomic radius increases down a group and generally decreases across a period</u>. So, <u>the electronegativity decreases down the group and generally increases across a period.</u>

Therefore, Nitrogen which belongs to period 2 and group 15 of the periodic table, has the <u>smallest atomic radius </u>among the given chemical elements <u>and thus is the most electronegative element (3.04 on the Pauling scale)</u> among the given chemical elements.

When is an isotope considered stable?<br> (Select all that apply.)
GaryK [48]

Explanation:

A stable isotope is one that does not emit radiation, or, if it does its half-life is too long to have been measured. It is believed that the stability of the nucleus of an isotope is determined by the ratio of neutrons to protons.

a) Natural selection will work negatively against rabbits that only eat berries as the drought is preventing berries from growing. It wont have any negative impact on rabbits that only eat grass as the grass is still surviving.

b) The statement ‘population has variations’ is backed up by the fact that the rabbits eat different things. They aren’t all the same. The statement ‘some variations are favorable’ is backed up by the fact that the rabbits that only eat grass are able to survive the drought. Their variation in eating grass instead of berries let’s them live. The statement ‘a population will change over time’ is backed up by the fact that the rabbits that only eat berries will die out. This will not only change the size of the population but going forward will create a population that has more rabbits that eat only grass on account of natural selection.

Answer:

The answer to your question is    HCl  +  NaOH   ⇒   NaCl  +  H₂O

Explanation:

Data

Double displacement reaction

Balanced chemical reaction

               HCl  +  NaOH   ⇒   NaCl  +  H₂O

           Reactants           Elements                Products

                 1                  Chlorine (Cl)                    1

                 1                   Sodium (Na)                   1

                 2                 Hydrogen (H)                  2

                 1                   Oxygen (0)                      1

As we can see, the reaction is balanced and the coefficients of all reactants and products are 1, but the number is not written in a balanced reaction.

How does the use of hydroelectric energy compare to the use of coal?
lora16 [44]
<span>Hydroelectric energy uses the movement of water to spin a turbine and produce electricity. Coal is a fossil fuel that is burned as an energy source, which results in emissions such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfur. Coal use is associated with waste products both from the mining process to acquire the coal and also from the actual use of coal itself. Hydroelectric energy does not involve waste, but does pose potential problems to waterways. Coal use is more common than the use of hydroelectric energy.</span>

What causes a water strider to be able to walk on water?
Lena [83]

Answer:

By repelling water, the tiny water striders stand on the water's surface and the captured airs allows them to float and move easily.  so number 2. Surface Tension.

Explanation:

The attraction between water molecules creates tension and a very delicate membrane. Water striders walk on this membrane. ... The legs have tiny hairs that repel water and capture air.
