Why are halogens so reactive?

Chemistry

Halogens reactivity decreases down the group, when halogens react it gains an electron to form a singly negative charged ion.

Halogens are reactive because they only need one additional electron to complete their octet. As it go down the group from Fl to Cl to Br to I the size of the atom increases due to an extra filled electron shell. The valence electrons are further and further away from the nucleus, the attraction of forces between the electrons and the nucleus become weaker and weaker

<span>This means that has great capacity to react with other chemical elements in nature, reacting mainly with sodium, therefore, can only be findings in chemical compounds in most cases. 

hope this helps!.</span>

Select the answer which shows the correct order, slowest to fastest, of the relative rate of diffusion of the gases.
IrinaK [193]

Diffusion is the process of a substance spreading out to evenly fill its container or environment. Rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the molar mass of the gas.

Rate of diffusion \propto \frac{1}{Molar mass}

Lighter(lower) the molar mass of the gas , faster will be its rate of diffusion and heavier (higher) the molar mass of the gas , slower will be its rate of diffusion.

We have to arrange the given gases from slowest rate of diffusion to fastest rate of diffusion that means we need to arrange gases from higher molar mass to lower molar mass.

Molar mass of given gases are :

Cl = 35.5 g/mol

Xe = 131.29 g/mol

He = 4.00 g/mol

N = 14.00 g/mol

So correct order for slowest rate of diffusion (highest molar mass) to fastest rate of diffusion (lowest molar mass) is :

Xe , Cl , N , He

Xe having the highest molar mass will have the slowest rate of diffusion and He with lowest molar mass will have the fastest rate of diffusion, so option 'c' is correct.

Note : Slowest rate of diffusion = High Molar Mass

Fastest rate of diffusion = Low Molar Mass

A substance X contains 10 gram of calcium carbonate calculate the number of mole of calcium carbonate present in X ​
Tasya [4]

\LARGE{ \boxed{  \rm{ \red{Required \: answer}}}}

☃️ Chemical formulae ➝ \sf{CaCO_3}

<h3><u>How to find?</u></h3>

For solving this question, We need to know how to find moles of solution or any substance if a certain weight is given.

\boxed{ \sf{No. \: of \: moles =  \frac{given \: weight}{molecular \: weight} }}

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Atomic weight of elements:

Ca = 40

C = 12

O = 16

❍ Molecular weight of \sf{CaCO_3}

= 40 + 12 + 3 × 16

= 52 + 48

= 100 g/mol

❍ Given weight: 10 g

Then, no. of moles,

⇛ No. of moles = 10 g / 100 g mol‐¹

⇛ No. of moles = 0.1 moles

☄ No. of moles of Calcium carbonate in that substance = <u>0.1 moles</u>
