Answer:
B) As you move across the row, the number of electrons increases and reactivity also increases.
Explanation:
The periodic table is arranged in a way that if you go across a period, the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an element increases. In terms of reactivity, the most reactive elements are the ones which have a high electronegativity. The electronegativity of the elements increases as you travel to the right and upwards on the periodic table.
First, we need to calculate the principal quantum number n for this electron, using the equation:
E = (-13.60 eV) / (n x n)
where E is the energy that is used to bound the electron (here, E = - 0.544 eV).
- 0.544 eV = (-13.60 eV) / (n x n)
n x n = (- 13.60 eV) / (- 0.544 eV)
n x n = 25
n = 5
The orbital radius that is equal to the radius of a hydrogen atom is calculated using the equation:
r = 0.053 nm x n x n
r = 0.053 nm x 5 x 5
r = 0.053 nm x 25
r = 1.325 nm
There would be 2 which would be on the oxygen
