<u>Answer:</u> Chlorine will be more reactive.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Chemical reactivity is defined as the tendency of an element to loose of gain electrons.

Non-metals are the elements which gains electrons and hence, their chemical reactivity will be the tendency to loose electrons.

Their chemical reactivity increases as we move from left to right in a period because the valence shell come closer to nucleus as we move from left to right.

So, addition of new electron in the valence shell becomes easier due to greater attraction between nucleus and valence electron.

We are given:

Silicon is present in Group 14 and chlorine is present in group 17.

Hence, chlorine will be more reactive.

We know that domestic dogs are descended from wolves. Exactly when and how this occurred is still being studied; many experts indicate that dogs were first domesticated about 12,000 years ago, but a few DNA studies indicate a much earlier date for the split between the wolf and the dog, perhaps as long ago as 130,000 years. Regardless of the exact timing of the divergence between wolves and dogs, one thing is true: both species display quite a bit of genetic diversity, particularly in size and coloration.In order to breed a dog of a specific size, all one has to do is choose parents with the appropriate variations. For instance, if you want to create a small dog breed, you would just breed the smallest dogs you have, then you would choose their smallest offspring to breed the next generation, and so on until you have reached the desired size.
