Electronegativity is the property of the element to attract electrons to its nucleus. The trend of electronegativity in the periodic table is decreasing from right to left and decreasing from top to bottom. hence from the given elements, the element with the highest electronegativity should be A.beryllium

Answer: A. beryllium

Explanation: Electronegativity of an element is the tendency to attract the share pair of electron towards itself.

The electronegativity increases across a period as the size keeps decreasing, because the electrons get added to the same shell. the valence shell gets nearer to the nucleus and tendency to attract the shared pair of electron keeps increasing.

The electronegativity decreases as we move down a group as the size of the atom keeps increasing and the valence shell keeps moving away from the nucleus, so the incoming electron could not exert the nuclear charge effectively and hence the tendency to attract the shared pair of electron keeps decreasing.

Tin is used to coat tin cans for food storage. If the tin is scratched and the iron of the can exposed, will the iron corrode mo
ivann1987 [24]

The scratched tin can with the iron will more rapidly corrode the iron than the tin.

<h3>What is corrosion?</h3>

The corrosion can be given as the process of the oxidation of the metal into the more stable metal oxide. The chemical oxidation of the metal is attained with the surrounding available oxygen or the water vapors.

The reactivity of the Iron for the oxidation is more as compared to the tin from the reactivity series. Therefore if both tin and iron are exposed to corrosion, iron will be more rapidly corroded.

How many moles of methane (CH4) are in 7.31 x 10^25 molecules
Ivan

molar mass of methane CH4

= C + 4 H  

= 12.0 + 4 x 1.008

= 12.0 +  4.032

= 16.042g/mol

7.31 x 10^25 molecules x <u>             1 mole  CH4    </u>  = 121.43 moles

                                       6.02 x 10^23 CH4 molecules

121.43 moles CH4 are present.
