Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A spontaneous reaction is defined as the process which tends to occur on its own. It does not require any external factor or force in order to start itself.
For example, when we dissolve KCl in water then potassium chloride being ionic in nature will dissolve on its own. Hence, it will be a spontaneous process.
And, a non-spontaneous reaction is defined as a process for the completion of which we have to provide certain conditions.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement it does not require any external action to begin, is true about a spontaneous process.
Answer:
we add only the the same highest enegy levels :3s&3p=2+4=6
Answer : The percent by mass of water the salt contain is, 55.3 %
Explanation : Given,
Mass of hydrated salt = 12.10 g
Mass of salt = 5.41 g
First we have to calculate the mass of water.
Mass of water = Mass of hydrate salt - Mass of salt
Mass of water = 12.10 g - 5.41 g
Mass of water = 6.69 g
Now we have to calculate the percent by mass of water the salt contain.

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:


Therefore, the percent by mass of water the salt contain is, 55.3 %
Answer:
Fluorine
Explanation:
Fluorine is the most electronegative element because it has 5 electrons in it's 2P shell.
