For each of the following sets of elements, circle the element expected to be most electronegative and draw a box which is expec
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: The element expected to be most electronegative is Ca.

The element expected to be least electronegative is K.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the property of an element to attract a shared pair of electron towards itself.

Down the group:

The size of an atom increases as we move down the group because a new shell is added and electron gets added up.

As, the size of an element increases, the valence electrons gets away from the nucleus. So, the attraction between the nucleus and the shared pair of electrons decreases

Hence, electronegativity decreases moving from top to bottom down a group

Across a period:

The size of an atom decreases as we move across the period because the electrons get added to the same shell and the nuclear charge keeps on increasing. Thus the electrons get more tightly held by the nucleus.

As, the size of an element decreases, the valence electrons come near to the nucleus. So, the attraction between the nucleus and the shared pair of electrons increases.

Hence, electronegativity increases moving across left to right in a period.

Thus as K, Sc and Ca are arranged across a period, the electronegativity order is K< Sc < Ca.

One peanut M&amp;M weighs approximately 2.33 g.
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

There are 23076 peanut M&M's in 53.768 kg of M&M's.

Explanation:

First we <u>convert 53.768 kg into g</u>:

  • 53.768 kg * 1000 = 53768 g

Then we <u>divide the total mass of M&M's by the mass of one peanut M&M,</u> in order to calculate the answer:

  • 53768 g / 2.33 g = 23076

So there are 23076 peanut M&M's in 53.768 kg of M&M's.

Which type of reactions form salts?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Neutralization reactions

Explanation:

A neutralization reaction is a reaction between an acid and a base. Products of this type of reaction is water and a salt. The pH of the salt product would depend on how strong or weak the base and acid would be when they react with each other. Although the characteristics of bases and acids are practically polar opposites, when combined, they cancel each other our producing a neutralized product.
