Answer: Group 1 would have the lowest electronegativity values.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the power of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons. It is also synonymous with the oxidizing ability or non-metallic character of elements.

Generally, across a given period from left to right, electronegativity increases due to increasing nuclear charge and decreasing atomic radius ( or atomic size ). This is because there is a greater tendency for a smaller atom with higher nuclear attraction to attract electrons than a larger atom with a lower nuclear attraction due to the shielding effect of the nuclear attraction by the inner shell electrons on the outermost electrons in the larger atom.

Also, down a particular group, electronegativity generally decreases due to increasing atomic radius/size.

This is why metals are generally electropositive ( lose electrons ) and non-metals are electronegative ( gain electrons ) as they are both found more on the left and right sides of the periodic table respectively.

The reduction of aldehydes, ketones, organic acids and their derivative of the process of alcohols is used for
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Widening of blood vessels.

Explanation:

The reduction of aldehydes, ketones, organic acids causes the formation of alcohols that is used for different process in the human body. This alcohol increase the width of the blood vessels as it enters the bloodstream causing greater flow of blood to the skin surface as well as temporary feeling of warmth. It also increased heat loss and rapid body temperature decrease that produces cooling effect in the body.

What did scientists discover when they arranged elements in order of increasing atomic mass?
asambeis [7]
<span>The scientists discovered that when they organized elements in order of increasing atomic mass there is a pattern of repetition of properties (A). The periodic law was developed by Dmitri Mendeleev and Lothar Mayer in 1869. They worked independently of each other and both created a periodic table. They both arranged the items on the table by weight and both suggested that certain properties of the elements recur. The Mendeleev table is the most important table because the values for the atomic mass are the most accurate.</span>
