The reactivity depends on the elements valence electrons. The need to be stable will make an element become more reactive, In order for an atom to be stable, it needs 8 valence electrons in its outer shell. 

Since Calcium is in group 2, it has 2 valence electrons, and would rather give up the electrons. While Sulfur has 6, it would need to gain 2 more to be stable, making it more reactive.

An atoms valence is the amount of electrons in the outer ring and atoms like to have a valence of 8 so the closer to having 8 in the outer ring the more reactive the atom is so since both elements are 2 away from a valence of 8 theyre equally reactive

Consider the following hypothetical molecular collisions and predict which of the following will form potential products, given
Annette [7]

Answer:

The collision theory is defined as the rate of a reaction is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions.

Explanation:

The reacting species should collide with orientation that allows contract between the atoms that will become bonds together in the product.

The collision occurs with adequate energy  to permit mutual penetration of the reacting species. The two physical factors based on the orientation and energy of collision, the following reaction with carbon monoxide with oxygen is considered.

 2CO(g) + O2(g) → 2CO2 (g)

After collision between the carbon monoxide and oxygen the reaction is

 CO(g) + O2(g) → CO2 (g) + O(g)

Based on the theories of chemical reaction the molecules collide with sufficient amount of energy an activated complex is formed.

Explain the difference between a physical property and chemical property. Give examples of each.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
A physical property is what a substance is like; it's directly observable. On the other hand, a chemical property is how a substance behaves; its reactivity.

Examples of a physical property are: color, texture, boiling point, freezing point, and melting point.

Examples of a chemical property are: flammability, combustion, and formation of a precipitate.

A chemist is studying the following reaction: NO + NO2 ⇌ N2O3. She places a mixture of NO and NO2 in a sealed container and meas
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The reaction will continue in the forward direction until all the NO or all the NO₂ is used up.

Explanation:

  • <em>Le Châtelier's principle </em><em>states that when there is an dynamic equilibrium, and this equilibrium is disturbed by an external factor, the equilibrium will be shifted in the direction that can cancel the effect of the external factor to reattain the equilibrium.</em>

  • So, according to  Le Chatelier's principle, removing the product (N₂O₃) from the system means decreasing the concentration of the products; thus, the reaction will proceed forward to produce more product to minimize the stress of removing N₂O₃ from the system.

  • <em>So, the reaction will continue in the forward direction until all the NO or all the NO₂ is used up. </em>
