An atoms reactivity can be determined by how many valence electrons the atom contains.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

The tendency of elements to react with each other depends on their electronegativity. An element having higher electronegative value will react easily with other elements. So, an electronegative elements tends to have highest reactivity.

Some of the elements in the periodic table does not react with any other elements, they are the noble elements as their electronegativity values are zero. All are elements present in a single group exhibit common electronegative.

And, the measure of electronegativity is done by the number of electrons in the valence shell or in other terms the number of valence electrons. Thus, the valence electrons count decide the reactivity of an atom.

Which compound is most likely to contain ionic bonds? which compound is most likely to contain ionic bonds? mgf2 ch4 n2o?
AnnyKZ [126]
Answer is: MgF₂, magnesium fluoride.
Magnesium fluoride is salt, ionic compound, because magnesium is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons, fluorine is nonmetal with greatest electronegativity, which meand it easily gain electron, so magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) and fluorine anion (F⁻) are formed.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

A tritium is produced.

Explanation:

Combining two additional neutrons to the nucleus of the hydrogen atom makes it a tritium, Hydrogen-3.

   neutron is designated  ¹₀n; this shows a mass number of 1 and no atomic number

  Hydrogen-1 is designated as ₁¹H; a mass number of 1 and atomic number of 1. This particle is actually more like a proton.

        Combining both:

                  ₁¹H + 2¹₀n → ³₁H

This is a nuclear reaction and in balancing such reaction equation, mass numbers and atomic numbers must be conserved.
