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.

Identify the products in the equation below (the “I” is Iodine—to differentiate capital “I” from lowercase “l”)
Inessa [10]

Answer : The products are Silver sulfide, (Ag_2S) and Sodium iodide, (NaI).

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

2AgI+Na_2S\rightarrow Ag_2S+2NaI

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that the 2 moles of silver iodide react with the 1 mole of sodium sulfide to give product as 1 mole of silver sulfide and 2 moles of sodium iodide.

In a chemical reaction, reactants are represent on the left side of the right-arrow and products are represent on the right side of the right-arrow.

Therefore, in a chemical reaction the products are Silver sulfide and Sodium iodide.

For part one synthesis reactions The product of the reaction is MgO. Describe what you observed in the reaction then consider th
vazorg [7]

Answer:

2Mg+O_{2} \rightarrow 2MgO

Explanation:

<u>Synthesis reaction:</u>

In the synthesis reaction, two reactants combined to form a single product.

For example,

"A" and "B" are two reactants then combined to form a "AB" product.

The chemical reaction is as follows.

A+B \rightarrow AB

The product "MgO" is formed by magnesium reacts with oxygen to form Magnesium oxide.

The chemical reaction is as follows.

2Mg+O_{2} \rightarrow 2MgO
