Answer:

a. fluorine

Explanation:

Fluorine is the element of group 17 and period 2. The electronic configuration of the element is 1s^22s^22p^5.

Stable oxidation state = -1 of fluorine as it gains one electron to gain noble gas configuration.

With alkali metals, which have oxidation state of +1 form ionic compound of the form, MX where X is F.

Among the halogens, fluorine forms the most stable halide because of the comparable size of the hydrogen and fluorine. Thus, it is the weakest acid when compared with other hydrogen halides.

Fluorine is the most reactive in the halogen series and thus, combines with most of the elements.

Fluorine forms inter-halogen compounds of form XA only. Example - ClF.

Hence, option a is correct.

Determine the concentration of an HBr solution if a 45.00 mL aliquot of the solution yields 0.5555 g AgBr when added to a soluti
amid [387]
Molecular weight of AgBr = 187.7
moles of Ag = \frac{0.5555}{187.7} = 2.96 x 10^{-3}
moles of Br = moles of Ag = 2.96 x 10⁻³ mol
concentration of HBr (Molarity) = conc. of Br (strong acid) = \frac{2.96 x 10^{-3} }{45 x 10^{-3} } = 0.0658 mol/l

The shape of a liquid's meniscus is determined by __________. the viscosity of the liquid the type of material the container is
Tanya [424]

In the case of the liquid meniscus, a concave meniscus that is what one usually observes takes place when the molecules of the liquid are fascinated towards the container. This takes place with water and a glass tube. A convex meniscus takes place when the molecules exhibit a stronger attraction with each other in comparison to the container, as in the case of glass and mercury.  

The shape of the liquid meniscus is determined by the relative magnitudes of the cohesive forces in the liquid and adhesive forces between the liquid and its container.
