Answer:

            Lithium

Explanation:

                  Alkali metals are group of metals which are present in first group of periodic table. As we know atomic number is equal to number of protons contained by a particular element. Therefore, the alkali metals along with there number of protons are listed below;

Alkali Metal                                         Number of Protons

Lithium                                                               3

Sodium                                                             11

Potassium                                                         19

Rubidium                                                         37

Cesium                                                             55

Francium                                                          87

Hence, it is cleared from above table that Lithium is having fewer protons than 10.

A possible mechanism for the overall reaction br2 (g) + 2no (g) → 2nobr (g) is no (g) + br2 (g) nobr2 (g) (fast) nobr2 (g) + no
givi [52]
The overall reaction is:
Br₂(g) + 2 NO(g) ↔ 2 NOBr(g)
rate law = k [Br₂][NO]²

The first step of the overall reaction is:
NO(g) + Br₂(g)   K₁⇄⇄K-1  NOBr₂(g)
rate law 1 = k₁ [Br₂][NO] or 
rate law 2 = k-1 [NOBr₂]

The second step of the overall reaction is:
NOBr₂(g) + NO(g)  →K₂→ 2 NOBr
rate law 3 = k₂[NOBr₂][NO]

So, rate law of overall reaction can be obtained as follows:
(rate law 1)*(rate law 3) / (rate law 2)
= [(k₁[Br₂][NO])* (K₂[NOBr₂][NO])] / k₋₁[NOBr₂]
= [k₁k₂/k₋₁][NO]²[Br₂]
So the correct answer is:
[k₁k₂/k₋₁][NO]² [Br₂]

What rules should you follow when adding and subtracting ?
wariber [46]
Adding and subtracting with scientific notation may require more care, because the rule for adding and subtracting exponential expressions is that the expressions must havelike terms<span>. Remember that to be </span>like terms<span>, two expressions must have exactly the same base numbers to exactly the same powers. Thinking about decimal arithmetic, the requirement that we have the same powers makes sense, because that guarantees that all of the place values are lined up properly.</span>
