<h3>Answer:</h3>

                    It is fat-soluble

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                         The cheeseburger grease adhered to cloths can not be washed by simple rinsing it with water. This is because of the fact that "<em>Like Dissolves Like</em>". As grease is non-polar in nature therefore it will show no interaction with water because water is polar in nature. Hence, in order to make interactions of grease we must add some sort of non polar solvent like Tetrachloroethylene (C₂Cl₄). Now, both being non-polar in nature will interact, make attractions and grease will happily leave with Tetrachloroethylene leaving the cloth clean again.

<h3>Remember:</h3>

                   Tetrachloroethylene is non polar because the four chlorine atoms about the double bond cancel out each others effect making the dipole moment zero hence, the overall molecule becomes non-polar.

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

(a) Alkali metals: Francium (Fr)

(b) Chalcogens: Polonium (Po)

(c) Noble gases: Radon (Rn)

(d) Alkaline earth metals: Radium (Ra)

Explanation:

In the periodic table, the atomic mass increases down the group. Therefore, the last element of a group is the heaviest element of the group.

(a) alkali metals: The chemical elements that are present in group 1 of the periodic table, except hydrogen.

<u>The heaviest member of this group is francium (Fr)</u>

(b) chalcogens: The chemical elements that are present in group 16 of the periodic table

<u>The heaviest member of this group is polonium (Po)</u>

(c) noble gases:  The chemical elements that are present in group 18 of the periodic table

<u>The heaviest member of this group is radon (Rn)</u>

(d) alkaline earth metals: The chemical elements that are present in group 2 of the periodic table.

<u>The heaviest member of this group is radium (Ra)</u>
