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:
Most radio waves have wavelengths between 1 mm and 100 km.
A cooling curve shows A. how the temperature of a substance falls as heat is removed.
Explanation:
<em>Radio waves</em> are the longest of all the waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Most have wavelengths between 1 mm and 100 km, although there is no upper limit.
Some radio waves have wavelengths of 10 000 km.
A <em>cooling curve</em> (see image below) shows how the temperature of a substance falls as it is cooled.
In Option E., a decrease in temperature would cause an energy <em>loss</em>.
Options B., C., and D. involve the <em>addition of heat</em>.
Answer: A) 3.21 g
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side.
We are given:
Mass of iron = 5.58 g
Mass of iron sulphide = 8.79 g
Mass of sulphur = x g
Total mass on reactant side = 5.58 + x
Total mass on product side = 8.79 g
Applying law of conservation of mass, we get:
Hence, the mass of reacting sulfur is 3.21 g.
