<h3>Answer:</h3>

D. Noble gases

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Noble gases are elements in the last group of the periodic table.

Why are they the least reactive elements?

  • Noble gases have an octet configuration, which means they have maximum number of electrons in their outermost energy levels.
  • This makes them stable, which means they are inert.
  • Examples of noble gases include neon, argon, krypton, etc.

What is the Trend in reactivity in the periodic table?

Down the group from top to bottom

  • The reactivity of metals in the periodic table increases down the group due the increase in the number of energy levels which makes it easier for them to lose electron(s).
  • Non-metals react by gaining electron(s), therefore, their reactivity decreases down the group because as the energy level increases the nuclear charge decreases.

Across the period from left to right.

  • Reactivity of metals decreases across the period because of an increase in nuclear charge which makes it more difficult for them to lose electron(s).
  • On the other hand, reactivity of non-metals increases across the period due to increased nuclear charge that makes it easier for them to gain electron(s).

Consider a galvanic cell in which Al 3 + Al3+ is reduced to elemental aluminum and magnesium metal is oxidized to Mg 2 + Mg2+ .
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Anode:

3Mg(s) ----------> 3Mg2+(aq) + 6e

Cathode:

2Al3+(aq) +6e ---------> 2Al(s)

Explanation:

Anode:

3Mg(s) ----------> 3Mg2+(aq) + 6e

Cathode:

2Al3+(aq) +6e ---------> 2Al(s)

Magnesium is more electro positive than aluminum hence it functions as the anode. Six electrons are lost/gained in the redox process as shown in the oxidation and reduction half reaction equations above. Magnesium is oxidized to magnesium ion while aluminum is reduced to elemental aluminum.
