The elements in alkali metal and halogen groups of the periodic table are the most reactive since they only need to gain or lose

one electron to become stable by filling their valence orbital. What happens to reactivity, moving down the column of a group?
A) Reactivity stays the same because they are in the same group.
B) Reactivity increases because the valence level is further from the nucleus of the atom.
C) Reactivity decreases because the increased number of protons and electrons provides more stability.
Eliminate
D) Reactivity stays the same because the number of electrons needed to fill the valence orbital remains the same.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Reactivity increases because the valence level is further from the nucleus of an atom.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The reactivity of elements in the periodic table depends on the position of the element in the periodic table.
  • The trend in the reactivity across the period and down the group depends on whether one is dealing with metallic elements or non-metallic elements.
  • Reactivity of metals such as alkali metals and alkali-earth metals increases down the group as the number of energy levels increases making valence electrons to be further from the nucleus.
  • Reactivity of non-metallic groups such as halogen decreases down the group as energy levels increase which reduces the nuclear attraction of the valence electrons to the nucleus.

What type of bond exists between the atoms in a molecule of N2?
vivado [14]

Answer:

covalent bonds

Explanation:

Nitrogen atoms will form three covalent bonds (also called triple covalent) between two atoms of nitrogen because each nitrogen atom needs three electrons to fill its outermost shell.

(if it is still confusing i have another way of explaining so jus let me know :)

What causes the high luster of a metal?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

When light is shone on to the surface of a metal, its electrons absorb small amounts of energy and become excited into one of its many empty orbitals. The electrons immediately fall back down to lower energy levels and emit light. This process is responsible for the high luster of metals.

Radioactive isotopes of an atom are?
malfutka [58]

Radioactive isotope, also called radioisotope, radionuclide, or radioactive nuclide, any of several species of the same chemical element with different masses whose nuclei are unstable and dissipate excess energy by spontaneously emitting radiation in the form of alpha, beta, and gamma rays.

A defibrillator delivers about 300 joules per shock calculate the number of calories
Tanya [424]

Answer:- 71.7 calories

Solution:- it is a unit conversion problem where we need to convert joules into calories.

The unit conversion for these energy units is:

1 calorie = 4.184 joule

The given energy is 300 joules and has to be converted to calories. We will show the set up using dimensional analysis.

300joules(\frac{1calorie}{4.184joules})

= 71.7 calories

So, the energy in calories is 71.7.

How do you do d the power of magnification on a microscope
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer: To figure the total magnification of an image that you are viewing through the microscope is really quite simple. To get the total magnification take the power of the objective (4X, 10X, 40x) and multiply by the power of the eyepiece, usually 10X.
