Answer:

Have the same number of electrons in their outer energy levels

Explanation:

Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electron(s) in their outermost shell.

Chlorine and Iodine have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electron in their outermost shell. This can be seen from their electronic configuration as shown below:

Cl (17) => 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁵

I (53) => [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s²5p⁵

From the above illustration:

Outer shell of Cl (3s²3p⁵) = 2 + 5 = 7 electrons

Outer shell of I (5s²5p⁵) = 2 + 5 = 7 electrons

Since they have the same number of valence electrons, therefore, they will have similar chemical properties.

Cocaine selectively blocks na+ (sodium) channels, which is the mechanism that leads to
anzhelika [568]
Cocaine selectively blocks sodium channels which is the mechanism that leads to local anesthetic effects. 
Voltage gated sodium channels play very important roles in the body as they are responsible for action initiation and propagation in excitable cells, such as nerves, muscles and neuroendocrine cells. Like other sodium ion channels blockers such as lidocaine, Cocaine selectively blocks sodium ion channels which denies entry of sodium ions in the cell, thus leading to local anesthetic effects.

Write the pressure equilibrium constant expression for this reaction. 2CO2 (g) + 4H2O (g) → 2CH3OH (l) + 3O2 (g)
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The pressure equilibrium constant (Kp) = (P O₂)³/(P CO₂)²(P H₂O)⁴.

Explanation:

  • For the reaction:

<em>2CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g) → 2CH₃OH (l) + 3O₂ (g).</em>

<em></em>

The pressure equilibrium constant (Kp) = the product of the pressure of the products side components / the product of the pressure of the reactantss side components.

each one is raised to a power equal to its coefficient.

<em>∴ The pressure equilibrium constant (Kp) = (P O₂)³/(P CO₂)²(P H₂O)⁴.</em>
