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.

Answer:
Explanation:
A chemical formula can be defined as a notation that is used to show which element and how many is contained in a chemical compound.
Also, in chemistry, the sum of charges of the anion and the cation of any ionic compound is always equal to zero.
A chemical equation is considered to be balanced when the amount of reactants on the left is equal to the amount of products on the right.
Therefore;
[2]FeBr3 + [3]Na2S → [1]Fe2S3 + [6]NaBr
In the above chemical equation, we will balance the reactants in the chemical equation with the smallest coefficients possible;
Two (2) moles of Iron (III) Bromide reacts with two (2) moles of Sodium Sulfide to form Iron (III) Sulfide and Sodium Bromide.
