Select the most reactive metal and the most reactive nonmetals items on this periodic table

Chemistry
1 answer:
kifflom [539]3 years ago

Explanation:

The electronegativity of an atom is used most times to determine how reactive or non-reactive an atom will be.

  • Electronegativity is as measure of the relative tendency with which the atoms of the element will attract valence electrons in a chemical bond.
  • Across a period electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases down a group.
  • We use electronegativity to determine the reactivity of most non-metals. The higher the electronegativity of non-metals the more reactive they are. This is why fluorine is the most reactive non-metal because it has the highest electronegativity.

For metals, the more electropositive they are, the more reactive they become. Electropositivity is a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons. The larger the size of a metal, the more reactive it is and more electropositive.

The most reactive metal is francium and it occurs at the lower left corner.

Answer:             xx           xx

                         xxOxxCxxSxx

Explanation:

Sorry for the structure, but since Oxygen and Sulfur belong to group of six they want to share two electrons. Carbon belonging to group four wants to share 4 since its valence shell has four electrons.

Therefore the resulting Lewis structure is linear (like carbon dioxide) with two pairs of lone pairs in each O and S atoms and 0 lone pairs in carbon and two double bond.

How could one rapidly separate red #40 from zinc oxide? indicate every step.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
Red #40 is soluble in water while zinc oxide is not.
So the easiest way to separate them is as follows:
1- add water to the mixture until red #40 is dissolved in the water
2- filter to separate the zinc oxide 
4- heat the solution of red #40 and water until water evaporates and red#40 remains.
