Compare and contrast the properties of halogens & alkali metals

Chemistry
1 answer:
zhuklara [117]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<u>Physical Properties</u>

Alkali metals are good conductors of heat and electricity while halogens are poor conductors of heat and electricity.

Only specific to Alkali metals: They are soft and can be cut by knife.

<u>Chemical</u><u> </u><u>Properties</u>

Alkali metals have 1 valence electron while halogens have 7 valence electrons.

Alkali metals react with non-metals to form ionic compounds while halogens react with non-metals to form covalent compounds.

You can also look at the trends ( melting/boiling point, reactivity) down their group.

Explain why a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.
Jet001 [13]

An incandescent bulb becomes hotter than a fluorescent bulb when turned on because in a regular incandescent bulb, there is tungsten wire where electricity is converts into heat. A regular incandescent light bulb requires 4 times more energy than a fluorescent bulb in order to produce the same amount of light. The conversion is such that for a 75-watt bulb, temperature get raised to approximately 2000 K. For such a high temperature, the radiating energy from the wire have some visible light. In such bulbs, 90% of the electricity get consumed in producing heat and only 10% produces light thus, they are not much efficient source of light.

On the other hand, fluorescent bulbs produce light with less amount of heat. In them, 40% of electricity is consumed in producing light and 60% in heat which is very less as compared to heat produced by a incandescent bulb. This is because when it get turned on, mercury atoms inside the bulb collides with electrons and produce UV light  which is then converted into visible light using thin layer of phosphor power present inside the bulb. This produces low amount of heat thus, the bulb stays cooler, the bigger size of bulb also helps in dispersing heat.

Therefore, a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.

Rank these compounds by highest boiling point to lowest boiling point? Pentane, neopentane, isopentane
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
<span>Pentane has a boiling point of 36.1 C, while isopentane boils at 27.7C. Neopentane has the lowest boiling point at 9.5 C. Therefore from highest to lowest boiling points, it is pentane, isopentane, and neopentane.</span>

Convey the following information in the form of balanced chemical equation:
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide reacts with limewater (a solution of calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH) 2), to form a white precipitate (appears milky) of calcium carbonate, CaCO 3.

Hope it helps you! :)

Get it right :D if this is wrong or not correct ill give u a bad review And no brainiest
tangare [24]

Answer:

In short, because we are tearing up the oxygen factories to make way for carbon dioxide emitters. (Doesn't make a lot of sense, read the explanation)

Explanation:

So, 1000 years ago, we had a lot more trees, didn't have engines or cars or factories or anything, really that released carbon dioxide into the air and we had a lot more trees and since the invention of cars, engines, carbon dioxide-emitting tools and factories and all the other things that emit "Greenhouse gases" and in doing that, cleared more trees to make room for factories and roads and that has drastically changed the outlook of the carbon cycle.
