Group 8A of the periodic table contains the A. most reactive nonmetals. B. least reactive nonmetals. C. most reactive metals. D.
least reactive metals.
2 answers:
Answer: The correct answer is option B.
Explanation: There are 7 elements in group VIII-A. They are Helium (He), Neon(Ne), Argon(Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), Radon (Rn) and Ununoctium (Uuo). They are considered as a part of group 18.
Metals are shown in purple color in the periodic table. Metalloids as blue color and Non-metals are shown in green color.
Group VIII-A elements have fully filled orbitals and hence are most stable amongst all the elements in the periodic table. They are considered as least reactive elements and as they are categorized as non-metals. So, they are the least reactive non-metals.
Therefore, the correct option is B.

<h3>What is the mole concept?</h3>- The Mole concept is used to express the amount of substance conveniently.
- A mole is defined as the amount of substance that contains exactly 6.022 x 10²³ elementary particles of the given substance. Here, elementary particles refer to atoms, molecules, or ions.
- This fixed number 6.022 x 10²³ is known as Avogadro Number and is denoted by
The number of moles is given by
When given mass = molar mass of a substance, then no of moles is equal to 1 which is equivalent to 6.022 x 10²³.
We also know,
1 mole has 6.022 x 10²³ molecules of CH₃OH
According to the mole concept,
6.022 x 10²³ molecules of CH₃OH is equal to 1 mole
2.5 x 10²¹molecules of CH₃OH is equal to moles
Thus, 2.5 x 10²¹molecules of CH₃OH are equal to 4.15 x 10⁻³ moles or 0.00415 moles
