Answer: The element having greatest electronegativity is Fluorine.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an element to attract electrons towards itself. More strongly an element attracts electrons, more will be its electronegativity and vice-versa.

Electronegativity of Group 18 elements is usually 0 except Xenon which has an electronegativity value of 2.6. These elements have filled valence shell and hence they do not attract electrons towards itself and hence, has no electronegativity.

In a periodic table, electronegativity decreases down the group and increases from left to right in a period.

Fluorine is present at Period 2, Group 17 of the periodic table.

Francium is present at Period 7, Group 1 of the periodic table.

Hence, fluorine will have the greatest value of electronegativity among the given elements.

F.
it's the greatest electron "hogger"
as you get closet to it, the stronger the electro negitivity.
He is halogen : they don't like to gain electrons. they are already stable.

Fr and Rn
are metals as far is I can remember. they would prefer losing electrons.

Which two scenarios illustrate the relationship between pressure and volume as described by Boyle’s law?

Airida [17]

The correct answer is option 2 and 3.

The two scenarios that illustrate the relationship between pressure and volume as described by Boyle’s law are as follows:

2. The volume of an underwater bubble increases as it rises and the pressure decreases.

3. The pressure increases in an inflated plastic bag when the bag is stepped on.

According to Boyle's law, pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at constant temperature. This means that pressure rises as the volume increases and vice versa.

For the gas phase decomposition of nitrosyl chloride at 400 K , the rate of the reaction is determined by measuring the appearan

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

2.067 x 10⁻⁷ M/min.

Explanation:

Knowing that the rate of the reaction is the change in the concentration of reactants (decrease) or the products (increase) with time.

For the reaction: 2NOCl ⇄ 2NO + Cl₂,

Rate of the reaction = - 1/2 d[NOCl]/dt = 1/2 d[NO]/dt = d[Cl₂]/dt

∵ d[Cl₂] = 3.39 x 10⁻³ M, dt = 1.64 x 10³ min.

∴ Rate of the reaction = d[Cl₂]/dt = (3.39 x 10⁻³ M) / (1.64 x 10³ min) = 2.067 x 10⁻⁷ M/min.

The constellations seem to move as the seasons on Earth change. What causes this?

Tomtit [17]

This change is due to the motion of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun. Each day a few stars are visible in the east that were not visible the night before.
