Halogens are a group of elements consisting of Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. In their ionic form, they have a superscript of -1, for example, chloride ion is Cl-1. These means that they readily accept one electron in order to achieve the Octet rule. The Octet rule states that each atom must contain 8 electrons in their valence shell for it to be stable. The most stable set of elements are the noble gases. Because they already fulfill the Octet rule, they no longer take part in reactions. Halogens are also very electronegative, meaning, they attract more electrons toward them. This is also a consequence of the Octet rule.
From the choices, the answers would be:
<span>they require only one electron to complete their outer shell
they have a high electronegativity</span>
Answer:
amount, pH value.
Explanation:
The buffer range is the pH range in which the buffer performs optimally, i.e., neutralizes even when a strong acid or base is introduced to it and resists any major change in its pH value.
The buffer capacity is the amount of acid or base that can be added before the pH of the buffer solution changes significantly.
Thus, the final statement becomes,
Buffer capacity is the amount of acid or base a buffer can handle before pushing the pH value outside of the buffer range.
Answer:
C. representative elements.
Explanation:
Families 1 - 2 and 13 - 18 are called representative elements or often times, main group elements.
- Elements on the periodic table belongs to four blocks which are s, p, d and f blocks.
- Those in the s and p-blocks are the main group elements also called representative elements.
- Their outer-shell are not completely filled with electrons but their inner shell is completely filled.
