Answer:
B. Fluorine
Explanation:
Nonmetallic character increases from <em>bottom to top</em> in a Group and from <em>left to right</em> in a period (see image).
Thus, the most nonmetallic elements are at the <em>upper right corner</em> of the Periodic Table.
We ignore the noble gases, because they are quite unreactive.
So, the element that most “wants” an electron is fluorine.
Happy Holidays! :)
Looking at the information given in the description, the experiment is testing for the effects of the different salts on the growth of the plants.
This means that the type of salt is the independent variable, or the variable being manipulated and tested.
To ensure fair results, some parts of the experiment would need to be kept the same, which is the control. The only answer choice that makes sense in this instance is A. water.
Explanation:
To balance the reactions given, we must understand that the principle to follow is the law of conservation of matter.
Based on this premise, the number of moles of species on the reactant and product side must be the same;
Li + Br₂ → LiBr
Put a,b and c as the coefficient of each species
aLi + bBr₂ → cLiBr
balancing Li;
a = c
balancing Br;
2b = c
let a = 1;
c = 1
b =
or a = 2, b = 1 , c = 2
2Li + Br₂ → 2LiBr
P + Cl₂ → PCl₃
Using the same method;
aP + bCl₂ → cPCl₃
balancing P;
a = c
balancing Cl;
2b = 3c
let a = 1;
c = 1
b =
or
a = 2, b = 3, c = 2
2P + 3Cl₂ → 2PCl₃
iii,
H₂ + SO₂ → H₂S + H₂O
use coefficients a,b,c and d;
aH₂ + bSO₂ → cH₂S + dH₂O
balancing H;
2a = 2c + 2d
balancing S;
b = c
balancing O
2b = d
let b = 1,
c = 1
d = 2
a = 3
3H₂ + SO₂ → H₂S + 2H₂O

<h3>Further explanation</h3>General formulas used in decay:
T = duration of decay
t 1/2 = half-life
N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms
Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time
<h3 />No=8 mg
t1/2=60 s
T=3 min=180 s
