Answer:

Most positive = rubidium

Most negative = fluorine

Explanation:

Electron affinity of an element is the energy released when an electron is attached to a neural atom to form an ion in its gaseous state.

X + e⁻ → X⁻

Electron affinity is similar to electronegativity which is the tendency at which an atom accepts an ion towards itself.

Electron affinity increases across the period and decreases down the group in the periodic table.

In the above option,

Fluorine has the highest electron affinity

Rubidium has the lowest electron affinity

Tellurium and then finally Phosphorus

Helium in this case would have the lowest electron affinity because it has filled orbital and does not require any electron to attain stability. Technically, Helium has the lowest or is expected to have the lowest electron affinity which is close to zero according to quantum mechanics.

Most positive = rubidium

Most negative = fluorine.

You can check periodic table for their exact values

Use the periodic table to select which type of bond is present and which of the listed properties is most likely for each substa
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

A = Metallic Bond

B = Strong bonding, strong conductor, high melting and boiling points

Explanation:

Since the bond is between two metals (located in groups 11 and 12), they would experience metallic bonding. Metallically bonded molecules have high melting and boiling points due to the strength of the metallic bond. They also experience strong electrical current due to the there delocalized electrons.

Explain, in detail, how you convert grams of one substance to grams of something else. Be specific and include each step
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
I will present a simple reaction so we can do this conversion:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

We will assume we have 32 g of O₂ and we want to find the amount of water, assuming this reaction goes to completion. We must first convert the initial mass to moles, which we do using the molar mass in units of g/mol. The molar mass of O₂ is 32 g/mol.

32 g O₂ ÷ 32 g/mol = 1 mole O₂.

Now that we have moles of oxygen, we use the molar coefficients to find the ratio of water molecules to oxygen molecules. We can see there are 2 moles of water for every 1 mole of oxygen.

1 moles O₂ x (2 mol H₂O/ 1 mol O₂) = 2 moles H₂O

Now that we have the moles of water, we can convert this amount into grams using the molar mass of water, which is 18 g/mol.

2 moles H₂O x 18 g/mol = 36 g H₂O

Now we have successfully converted the mass of one molecule to the mass of another.
