The answer is;

Melting and boiling points
Unit energy output

These properties are dependent on the chemical composition of the varying hydrocarbons. Coal is a hydrocarbon used in some applications due to its solid nature at room temperatures. The branching of hydrocarbon (cyclic or chain) also determines the energy output on combustion. Gasoline burns more energy than paraffin

What is the relationship between metals and the number of electrons in the outer level?

gayaneshka [121]

Elements in group 1-2, 13-18, the number of valence electrons is related to the group number. For example, in the first group, the alkali metals there is one valence electron, however in group 13, there are 3 valence electrons. Valence electrons are also known as the outershell electrons.

When I2 and FeCl2 are mixed together, iodine (I) cannot replace chlorine (Cl) in the compound because iodine is lower on the per

Nata [24]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation: If this reaction would have occurred, then this reaction would be considered as displacement reaction.

Displacement reactions are the reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element in a chemical reaction. This is based on the reactivity of elements.

Reactivity of elements is the tendency of the elements to gain or loose electrons. The reactivity decreases down the group in a periodic table.

In the given reaction, Iodine and chlorine are the elements of the same group in the periodic table and iodine lies below chlorine in the group. So, the reactivity of iodine is less than the reactivity of chlorine.

Hence, in the given reaction, iodine will not replace chlorine because it lies below in the periodic table.

$FeCl_2+I_2\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$

✡ Answer: 1.23*10^2 ✡

- - Add a decimal at the end (to the right) and count till you get to the first number.
So now you have 1.23

- - Now you always want to times it by 10 to the power of how many times you moved it over, in this case, 2

Final answer: 1.23*10^2
