Answer:

d. its effective nuclear charge is lower than the other noble gases.

Explanation:

Xenon belongs to group O on the periodic table. Most of the elements here are unreactive.

Due to the large size of Xenon, the outermost electrons have very low effective nuclear charge. Effective nuclear charge is the effect of the positive charges of the nucleus on the electrons in orbits. This effect decreases outward as atomic shell increases.

Xenon has a very large atomic radius and there is weak a nuclear charge on the outermost electrons. The more electronegative elements would be able to attract some of its outermost electrons easily and form chemical bonds with xenon much more readily.

Fill in the coefficients that will balance the following reaction:
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

To balance a reaction, the amount of reactants must be equal to the amount of products, as stated by the Law of Conservation of Matter. It may help you to keep track of  the number of each element in a list as you try to balance. It's not able to be balanced.

PLZ HELP, Its The Nature of Oxidation and Reduction for chemistry
elixir [45]

Answer:

Oxidation is defined as the chemical process in which substance loses electron and hydrogen or gain oxygen while in the process of reduction, substance gains electron and hydrogen or loses oxygen.

So, from the given equation:

a. It is an oxidation reaction as Rb loses one elctron.

b. It is a reduction reaction as Te gains two electrons and become Te2-

c. It is a reduction reaction as H atom gains electrons.

d. It is an oxidation reaction as P loses 3 electrons.
