Generally speaking, organic molecules tend to dissolve in solvents that have similar physical properties. A good rule of thumb is that "like dissolves like". Meaning, polar compounds can dissolve polar compounds and nonpolar compounds can dissolve nonpolar compounds.
To apply this to the current problem, we are told that the brushes are being cleaned with vegetable oil or mineral oil. In this case, the oils are used as solvents. In order for these solvents to be effective, the compounds they are trying to dissolve must be similar in structure and properties to other oils. Therefore, vegetable oil or mineral oil will be most effective in removing oil-based paints, as these will have the similar properties needed to dissolve in the oil solvents.
Answer:
Group 7A
Explanation:
The group 7A elements consists of the most reactive non-metals on the periodic table.
This group is known as the group of halogens. They consist of element fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.
- The elements in this group have the highest electronegativity values.
- They have 7 valence electrons and requires just one electron to complete their octets.
- This way, they are highly reactive in their search for that single electron.
1. A. All the elements in the column have similar chemical properties.
2. Substances on the periodic table cannot be broken down into other substances and are therefore elements.
