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

What is the change in internal energy for each of the following situations? 1. q-7.9 J out of the system and w 3.6 J done on the
adoni [48]

Answer:

A i. Internal energy ΔU = -4.3 J ii. Internal energy ΔU = -6.0 J B. The second system is lower in energy.

Explanation:

A. We know that the internal energy,ΔU = q + w where q = quantity of heat and w = work done on system.

1. In the above q = -7.9 J (the negative indicating heat loss by the system). w = 3.6 J (It is positive because work is done on the system). So, the internal energy for this system is ΔU₁ = q + w = -7.9J + 3.6J = -4.3 J

ii. From the question q = +1.5 J (the positive indicating heat into the system). w = -7.5 J (It is negative because work is done by the system). So, the internal energy for this system is ΔU₂ = q + w = +1.5J + (-7.5J) = +1.5J - 7.5J = - 6.0J

B. We know that ΔU = U₂ - U₁ where U₁ and U₂ are the initial and final internal energies of the system. Since for the systems above, the initial internal energies U₁ are the same, then we say U₁ = U. Let U₁ and U₂ now represent the final energies of both systems in A i and A ii above. So, we write ΔU₁ = U₁ - U and ΔU₂ = U₂ - U where ΔU₁ and ΔU₂ are the internal energy changes in A i and A ii respectively. Now from ΔU₁ = U₁ - U, U₁ = ΔU₁ + U and U₂ = ΔU₂ + U. Subtracting both equations U₁ - U₂ = ΔU₁ - ΔU₂

= -4.3J -(-6.0 J)= 1.7 J. Since U₁ - U₂ > 0 , U₂ < U₁ , so the second system's internal energy increase less and is lower in energy and is more stable.

BigorU [14]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

1. The molecule has to have a ratio of 1 hydrogen to 1 oxygen.

2. Hydrogen = 1amu, Oxygen = 16amu. (2*2)+(16*2) = 34amu
