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.

Chlorine reacts very violently. What about its electron shells makes this the case?
guapka [62]

Answer:

it readily gains another electron. the outer electron shell is closer to the nucleus, than iodine for example, which makes it less shielded (greater attraction for another electron = violent reaction to get it)

The maximum allowable concentration of pb2+ ions in drinking water is 0.05 ppm (i.e., 0.05 g of pb2+ in 1 million grams of water
trasher [3.6K]
PbSO₄ partially dissociates in water. the balanced equation is;
                    
                       PbSO₄(s) ⇄  Pb²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)
Initial                                     -                -
Change             -X               +X           +X
Equilibrium                           X              X

Ksp           =    [Pb²⁺(aq)] [SO₄²⁻(aq)]
1.6 x 10⁻⁸  =    X * X
1.6 x 10⁻⁸  =    X²
          X    =   1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M
      
Hence the Pb²⁺ concentration in underground water is 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M. 
[Pb²⁺]  = 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M.
           = 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ mol / L x 207 g / mol 
           = 26.91 ppm

Which process would require the least amount of energy?
Aleksandr [31]
Answer:<span> a) the process for the first ionization energy
</span>
<span>Every time you take a electron you're requiring more and more energy. Expelling the first one will require less energy than expelling the second and the second will require less than the third, and so on.
When you take the first one, the atom becomes positive and with that the negative forces of the electron will be more attracted to the positive charge. The more electrons that are lost, the more positive this ion will become, causing it to be more difficult to separate the electrons from the atom.

What does AS&gt; O mean?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

ΔS> 0 means Letter A

Explanation:

Processes that involve an increase in entropy of the system (ΔS > 0) are very often spontaneous; however, examples to the contrary are plentiful. By expanding consideration of entropy changes to include the surroundings, we may reach a significant conclusion regarding the relation between this property and spontaneity. In thermodynamic models, the system and surroundings comprise everything, that is, the universe, and so the following is true:

\displaystyle \Delta {S}_{\text{univ}}=\Delta {S}_{\text{sys}}+\Delta {S}_{\text{surr}}
