Answer:
Elements that belong to the <em>same </em><em>GROUP</em><em> </em>of the periodic table have the most similar chemical properties.
Explanation:
A GROUP in the periodic table is a column of elements with the same number of valence electrons. Since electrons are exchanged/shared during a chemical reaction, then elements with similar valence electrons, will react similarly. Thus elements belonging to the <em>same GROUP</em> are most similar in the way they react.
For example: Sodium and Lithium are group 1 elements while fluorine and chlorine are group 17 elements. In a reaction under normal conditions, Sodium and Lithium will both try to give up their single valence electron to form cations. In doing so they will react more similarly. On the other hand, Fluorine and Chlorine who are more inclined to accept a single electron to form cations react less like the group 1 elements and more like each other.
Answer:
Mass of P4O6=103.4
P4O10=133.48
Explanation:
Balanced reaction is:
8P +8
⇒
+
Both reactant completely vanishes as equivalent of bot are equal.
Moles of P=
=3.80
Moles of = =3.80
No. of moles of formed product are equal and is 
th of mole of any of reactant.
Thus weight of =
×220 ≈103.41
weight of =×284 ≈133.48
Answer:
Biphenyl
Explanation:
The reaction of bromo benzene with magnesium-ether solution yields a Grignard reagent.
The byproduct of this reaction is biphenyl. It is formed when two unreacted bromobenzene molecules are coupled together.
Hence, It is advised that the bromobenzene solution be added slowly to the magnesium-ether solution so that it isn't present in a high concentration, thus reducing the amount of biphenyl by-product formed.
