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.

Explain why 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone over 104 times faster than bromocyclopropane. hint: examine the
Mama L [17]

Answer:-

The reaction of 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone is an example of Sn2 reaction.

The I - attacks from backside to give the transition state for both.

If we compare the transition state for cyclobromopropane 2-bromopropane then we see in case of cyclobromopropane transition state, one of the H is very close to the incoming I -.

This results in steric strain and less stability of the transition state. Hence 2-bromopropane reacts with sodium iodide in acetone over 104 times faster than bromocyclopropane.
