Answer : If the temperature is decreased to 100 K then the rate constant will be, decrease.

Explanation :

According to the Arrhenius equation,  the rate constant of the reaction is directly proportional to the temperature.

K=a\times e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}}

Taking ln on both the sides, we get

\ln K=\frac{-Ea}{RT}+\ln a

where,

K = rate constant

Ea = activation energy

T = temperature

R = gas constant

a = Arrhenius constant

As we know that the increase in the rate of reaction with increase in the temperature is mainly due to increase in the number of effective collision. That means as the temperature increases, the number of effective collision increases and the value of rate constant also increases or vice-versa.

As per question, the temperature of the reaction decreases that means the number of effective collision decreases and the value of rate constant also decreases.

Hence, if the temperature is decreases from 298 K to 100 K then the rate constant will be, decrease.

As temperature decreases, rate decreases. 

As temp increases, k also increases. </span>

Element X has the following valence electron configuration: [core]ns2np5. Element M has the following valence electron configura
alex41 [277]

Answer:

The kind of ionic compound formed is MX2.

Explanation:

Element X electron  configuration is represented as [core] ns2np5. The group in the periodic table this element belong to is group 7A.  The element group is called the halogen family. Element X cannot be stated specifically, because the number is represented with n.  Element X will behave as an anions when it react with a metal(cations). Element X has a charge of -1. The element X will gain electron when it bond with a metal. Element X is a non metal . Elements  in this group are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine , astatine, and tennessine . The element X have 7 valency electrons.

Element M electronic configuration is represented as  [core]ns2. The group in the periodic table this element belong to is group 2A . The element  group is called the alkaline earth metals family . Element M will behave as a cation when it bond with a non metal. Element M is a metal , therefore it will likely lose electron to form cations during bonding . The charge of element M is 2+. Element M is positively charged. Elements that belong to this group includes beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium.  Element M has 2 valency electrons.

The reaction between this 2 ions will likely form an ionic compound . The element M is the cations while the element X is the anions. The element M will lose 2 electron while 2 atoms of element  X will gain 2 electrons.Element M will lose 2 electron to attain a stable configuration while 2 atoms of element X will gain a single electron each to attain a stable configuration.

M²+ and F- . This will form MX2 when you cross multiply the charge. The kind of ionic compound formed is MX2.
