Which of the following elements has the highest electronegativity? hydrogen carbon chlorine fluorine

1 answer:

6 0

The most eletronegative elements are to the right of the periodic table. The electronegativities increase as you move right.

Fluorine and Chlorine are the highest.

Fluorine is 4.0
Chlorine is 3.0

Fluorine is the answer.

Why does hydrogen naturally form diatomic molecules (H2), whereas helium exists as a single atom (He)?

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Hydrogen is a very reactive element. It doesn't exist as a single atom in nature. Neither do any of the other binary nonmetals -- nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. They're too prone to react with something. They react with each other and form binary molecules because the binary molecules are more stable than single atoms (by a lot!). Compounds with other atoms are even more stable, so hydrogen reacts with oxygen to form water, and chlorine reacts with sodium to form table salt.

Classify these substances. More than one answer may apply in each case.

enyata [817]

Answer: $H_2$ : Pure substance, Element

$O_2$ : Pure substance , Element

$H_2O$ : Pure substance, Compound

Explanation:

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: $H-2$ and $O_2$

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: $H_2O$

Heterogeneous Mixture : Mixture that has its different components mixed unevenly within the substance . Example: Air

Homogeneous Mixture : Mixture that has its different components mixed evenly within the substance. Example: sugar dissolved in water

Applying the conservation of mass:

Mass during bombardment:
242 (curium atom) + 4 (alpha particle)
= 246

This must equal the mass after bombardment:
1 (neutron) + x (unknown product)

246 = 1 + x
x = 245

The product is Californium-245
