Answer:

Barium (Ba)

Explanation:

Barium is a group 2 elements.

Valence shell electronic configuration = [Xe]6s^2

Its valence shell has only two electrons and by loosing these electrons, it attains inert gas configuration. therefore, it looses electron easily.

It is highly reactive and because of its high reactive nature, never present in nature in free state.

In general, reactivity increases down the group in the periodic table.

This is because down the group atomic size increases and electrons becomes far from the nucleus, so outer electrons are not tightly held by the nucleus. Therefore, valence shell electrons loose easily which in turn increases reactivity.

So, Ba is more reactive among all the given elements.

How many moles of nitrogen are in 2.0×10−2mole of quinine?
galben [10]

Answer: 4 x 10 ∧-2  moles of nitrogen.

Explanation:

The chemical formular for quinine is ; C20 H24 N2 O2

As can be seen from the chemical formular;

1 mole of quinine contains 2 moles of Nitrogen

Thus; 2.0 x 10 ∧-2 moles of quinine would contain

         2.0 x 10 ∧-2 x 2 = 4 x 10 ∧-2  moles of nitrogen.

 Therefore 4 x 10 ∧-2  moles of nitrogen are in 2.0×10−2mole of quinine

54. fluorine

55. oxygen

56. they have the same number of protons

57. nucleus 3

Explanation:

54. The element represented by the nucleus 1 have 9 protons and 9 neutrons. The atomic number of the element is equal to the number of protons = 9, so the element is fluorine.

55. The element represented by the nucleus 2 have 8 protons and 10 neutrons. The atomic number of the element is equal to the number of protons = 8, so the element is oxygen.

56. nucleus 2 contains 8 protons and 10 neutrons

nucleus 4 contains 8 protons and 11 neutrons.

The atoms that have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons are called isotopes.

57. nucleus 3 have 10 protons and 10 neutrons and correspond to neon. Neon have 10 electrons (equal to the number of protons) and have the electronic configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁸. Because all the electrons shells are filled with electrons, neon have a stable electron configuration.

Complete the following sentences:
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) In an exothermic reaction, the energy transferred to the surroundings from forming new bonds is ___more____ than the energy needed to break existing bonds.  

b) In an endothermic reaction, the energy transferred to the surroundings from forming new bonds is ___less____ than the energy needed to break existing bonds.  

c) The energy change of an exothermic reaction has a _____negative_______ sign.  

d) The energy change of an endothermic reaction has a ____positive________ sign.

The energy changes occur during the bonds formation and bonds breaking.

There are two types of reaction endothermic and exothermic reaction.

Endothermic reactions:

The type of reactions in which energy is absorbed are called endothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bond are higher than the energy released during bond formation.

For example:

C + H₂O   →  CO  + H₂

ΔH = +131 kj/mol

it can be written as,

C +  H₂O  + 131 kj/mol  →  CO  + H₂

Exothermic reaction:

The type of reactions in which energy is released are called exothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bonds are less than the energy released during the bond formation.

For example:

Chemical equation:

C + O₂   →  CO₂

ΔH = -393 Kj/mol

it can be written as,

C + O₂   →  CO₂ + 393 Kj/mol
