Answer;

-Chlorine is more reactive than silicon

Explanation;

-As you move across a period, the nuclear charge will increase; the number of energy levels will stay the same, so there is a stronger and stronger attraction for the electrons.

-The electrons are being held more tightly as you move across a period. It becomes more and more difficult to lose electrons and consequently the reactivity of non metals increases as you go from left to right across the periodic table; Therefore; chlorine is more reactive than silicon.

Answer:

His mistake was that he also gave the plants  in the music room some fertilizer

Explanation:

When carrying out a reliable experiment, the only variable should be the question being tested. The question here is whether playing music for plants helps them grow faster. Therefore, all the plants should be grown in exactly the same conditions apart from the presence or absence of music.

However, Jo also added fertilizer to the plants in the room where music was playing. Therefore, we don't know whether the fertilizer or the music caused the plants to grow faster.

Instead, Jo should have not given fertilizer to any of the plants, or given fertilizer to all the plants.

In this thermochemical reaction, what does the coefficient ½ represent?
timurjin [86]
A thermochemical reaction is a chemical reaction with an additional information of the heat of reaction. For example, this is the thermochemical reaction for the combustion of hydrogen gas:

H₂ (g) + 1/2 O₂ (g) → H₂O (l)         ΔH = -285.8 kJ

The coefficient 1/2 represents the number of moles of O₂ needed to combust 1 mole of H₂ gas in order to yield one mole of water.
