Answer:
Chlorine is a very reactive non metals because this element don't form any known chemical compound.
Explanation:
Chlorine atoms have a lot of valance electrons without being complete on its own, so it has a greater need to seek it's conjugates. That's called electronegativity. Halogens are highly reactive because of their electronegativity.
Answer:
A three-carbon chain has a straight line extending from the center carbon.
Explanation:
Isomers are compounds having the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.
Butane and 2-methylpropane are constitutional isomers. Constitutional isomers differ in the way that the constituent atoms are connected to each other.
Butane is a straight chain compound while the compound 2-methylpropane consists of a three-carbon chain which has a straight line extending from the center carbon.
Sulfur and chlorine. Explanation: A covalent bond is formed by two non-metals with similar electronegativities. As a consequence, they share one or more pairs of electrons between their nuclei
Answer:
2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons
Explanation:
An atom of a certain element reacts with the atoms of other elements in order to fullfill its outermost shell (called valence shell).
We notice the following:
- The elements in Group 1 (which are metals) have only 1 electron in their valence shell
- The elements in Group 17 (which are non-metals) have 1 vacancy (lack of electron) in their valence shell
This means that in order for both an atom of group 1 and an atom of group 17 to fullfill the valence shell, they have to:
- The atom in group 1 has to give away its only electron of the valence shell
- The atom in group 17 has to gain one electron in order to fullfill the shell
Therefore, the correct option is
2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons
