Answer:

C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium.

Explanation:

Hello.

Given the options:

A. chromium is a nonmetal and therefore a good conductor of heat and electricity .

B. chromium is a metal that is more reactive than potassium .

C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium .

D. chromium is a noble gas that is not reactive.

In this case, since chromium is in period 4 group VIB we infer it is a transition metal which slightly reacts with acids and poorly reacts with oxygen and other oxidizing substances. Thus, in comparison with both sodium and potassium which are highly reactive even with water as they get on fire, we can say that it is less reactive than both potassium and sodium, therefore, answer is: C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium.

Best regards.

What is the electron configuration for<br> 08<br> 16

Elis [28]

The electron configuration for Oxygen : [He] 2s²2p⁴

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Writing electron configurations starts from the lowest to the highest sub-shell energy level. There are 4 sub-shells in the shell of an atom, namely s, p, d, and f. The maximum number of electrons for each sub-shell is

• s: 2 electrons

• p: 6 electrons

• d: 10 electrons and

• f: 14 electrons

Charging electrons in the sub-shell uses the following sequence:

The element is Oxgen, with symbol O, and :

the atomic number=8=number of electron

the atomic mass=16

The electron configuration based on the number of electrons(for Oxygen=8), so the configuration :

$\tt _8^{16}O:1s^22s^22p^4$ or we can write with noble gas [He] 2s²2p⁴

Which bond has the greatest ionic character? A) H-Cl B) H-F c) H-O d) H-N

Len [333]

I really hope that this helps. H-F because the difference in electronegativity is the greatest, about 1.9 on the Pauling scale. The term means which bond has the greatest polarity and is thus most similar to an ionic bond, which involves the transfer of an electron (in opposition to covalent bonds, which share electrons). It is H-F because out of all the atoms here bonded with H, ie hydrogen, F is the most electronegative which means it can pull the bonded electrons to itself more than can Cl, O, and N. <span>That means a stronger polarization of the electron cloud forming the bond with hydrogen and therefore a stronger ionic character.</span>

Select all steps below that you followed to practice laboratory safety during the experiment. used tongs or a test tube holder t

uysha [10]

Explanation:

Steps followed to practice laboratory safety during the experiment are as follows.

Used tongs or a test tube holder to hold materials over the Bunsen burner flame.
Wore gloves and goggles.
Made careful observations of the products and reactants.
Did not smell the gases produced.

When we heat a test tube over bunsen flame then the tube gets hot and when we hold it with bare hands then out hands will burn. Therefore, it is advised to hold test tube with the help of tongs or a holder so that our hands did not burn.

We should also wear gloves and goggles so that any acid would not spill directly on our hands, skin and eyes as it can affect or damage the skin severely.

Careful observations were made so that correct calculations about the experiment can be carried out.

It is also advised that we should not smell the gases produced but gases move freely from one place to another in a laboratory or any where else.

So, we can try to avoid it by covering our mouth with a cloth but we cannot stop it. If we keep on inhaling the gases produced in a laboratory then it can also lead to severe disease or defect in the human body.
