Why are halogens so reactive?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Assoli18 [71]3 years ago
8 0

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>

What type of bond is Na3PO4?; Is Na3PO4 ionic or molecular?; Does Na3PO4 have ionic and covalent bonds?; Is Na3PO4 a polyatomic
Leni [432]

The type of the bond is present Na₃PO₄ is the ionic bond. the Na₃PO₄ is the ionic compound. yes the Na₃PO₄ is the polyatomic ion.

The Na₃PO₄ is Na⁺  and PO₄³⁻. the phosphorus is the non metal and the oxygen atom  is the non metal. the non meta and non meta form the covalent or molecular bond. the bond between the PO₄³⁻ bond is the covalent bond but the overall present in the Na₃PO₄ is the ionic bond . the bons in between the Na⁺  and PO₄³⁻ is the the ionic bond. the PO₄³⁻ id the polyatomic ion .

The bond between the positively charged ion and the negatively charged ion are called as the ionic bond and the compound form is the ionic compound.

Which of the following describes what happens to the atom that was displaced in the reactant compound during a single replacemen
Marysya12 [62]

Answer: It becomes the uncombined element in the product.

Explanation:

The reaction between Zn and HCl is a single displacement reaction according to equation below

Zn + 2HCl —> ZnCl2 + H2

Zn displaces H2 from acid and in the product, hydrogen became the uncombined element.

Rank the solutions below in order of increasing acidity. (Drag and drop into the appropriate area)
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

0.1 M NaOH, 3 M NH3, 0.01 M CH3COOH, 0.01 M H2SO4, 0.1 M HCl

Explanation:

Strong acids are more acids than weak acids. In the same way, strong bases are more basic than weak bases that are in the same concentration.

Then, the more concentrated acid or base will be more acidic or basic.

CH3COOH. Weak acid

NaOH. Strong base

H2SO4. Strong acid

NH3. Weak base.

HCl. Strong acid

The less acid (More basic):

<h3>0.1 M NaOH, 3 M NH3, 0.01 M CH3COOH, 0.01 M H2SO4, 0.1 M HCl</h3>

Strong base, weak base, weak acid, diluted strong acid, undiluted strong acid

lukranit [14]

Two German chemists, Justus von Liebig (1803–1873) and Friedrich Wöhler (1800–1882), were responsible for the emergence of organic chemistry in the early nineteenth century. Their quantitative analytical methods helped establish the constitution of newly isolated and synthesized carbon compounds.
