Because chlorine has the highest electronegativity among the four, it has the greatest tendency to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

Therefore, (2) chlorine is the best answer.

Hope this helps~

Answer: (2) chlorine

Expalanation: 1) Carbon is an element with atomic number 6 and thus has 6 electrons. It's electronic configuration is:

C:1s^22s^22p^2

Carbon needs to lose or gain 4 electrons to attain noble gas configuration.

2) Chlorine is an element with atomic number 17 and thus has 17 electrons. It's electronic configuration is:

Cl:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

Chlorine needs to gain 1 electron to attain noble gas configuration and thus has strongest tendency to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

3) Silicon is an element with atomic number 14 and thus has 14 electrons. It's electronic configuration is:

Si:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^2

Silicon needs to lose or gain 4 electrons to attain noble gas configuration.

4) Sulfur is an element with atomic number 16 and thus has 16 electrons. It's electronic configuration is:

S:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4

Sulfur needs to gain 2 electrons to attain noble gas configuration.

Where do the gaseous elements tend to be located on the table
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Group 8 or Group 0

Explanation:

Group 8 or Group 0 are generally inert gases with Helium as the first member in that group. Their complete duplet (in the case of Helium) and Octet (in the case of Neon) configuration makes them very stable and chemically un-reactive.

Answer: FeO is called ferrous oxide while Fe2O3 is ferric oxide

Explanation:

Ferrous oxide, commonly known as iron(II) oxide contains iron that lost 2 elections in the oxidation process. So it is able to bond with other atoms that have an extra 2 electrons to share. Ferric oxide, is commonly known as iron(III) oxide

The elements in Groups 1 AU) and 7A(17) are all quite reactive. What is a major difference between them?
Yuliya22 [10]

Explanation:

Elements of group 1A are known as alkali metals. Elements of this group are lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium.

All these elements are metals and every element of this group has 1 valence electron. So, in order to attain stability they will readily lose their valence electron.

Hence, elements of group 1A are very reactive.

On the other hand, elements of group 7A are also known as halogen group. Elements of this group are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.

All these elements are non-metals and every element of this group has 7 valence electrons. So, in order to completely fill their octet these elements gain 1 electron from a donor atom.

Therefore, these elements are alo reactive in nature.

But the major difference between elements of group 1A and group 7A is that elements of group 1A are metals but elements of group 7A are non-metals.
