AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Alkali Metals (Group 1) elements experience an increase in the vigour of their reaction in water as they go down the group (as the atomic number increase). As such the most reactive Alkali Metal would be
FRANCIUM, which is at the base of Group One.
Quite frankly, you do not want Francium to react with water- that's a huge explosion on your hand.
Answer:
The arm that was not sprayed with anything
Explanation:
The control group would be <u>the arm that was not sprayed with anything</u>.
<em>The control group during an experiment is a group that forms the baseline for comparison in other to determine the effects of a treatment. The control group does not include the variable that is being tested and as such, it provides the benchmark to measure the effects of the tested variable on the other group - the experimental group. In this case, the experimental group would be the arm that was sprayed with the repellent.</em>
Answer:
An alkali metal present in period 2 have larger first ionization energy.
Explanation:
Ionization energy:
The amount of energy required to remove the electron from the atom is called ionization energy.
Trend along period:
As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.
Trend along group:
As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.
As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus. Thus alkali metal present in period 2 have larger ionization energy because of more nuclear attraction as compared to the alkali metal present in period 4.
