Elements in the same group share the same number of valence electrons.
Answer is: both reactions are exothermic.
<span>In exothermic reactions, heat is released and enthalpy of reaction is less than zero (as it show second chemical reaction).
According to Le Chatelier's principle when the reaction
is <span>exothermic heat is included as a
product (as it show first chemical reaction).</span></span>
It’s a bad idea for a few hours but it’s
F₂ + 2 NaI → 2 NaF + I₂
<span>It is given that F₂ is light yellow / colorless in hydrocarbon solvent. The student combines Fluorine water with NaI in water. Then student adds pentane in the mixture of F₂ and NaI. After dissolution, solution was observed and a colorless pentane layer was seen. Alkanes are unreactive in nature. The C-H bond in alkane is difficult to break. whereas, F₂ is very reactive and reacts vigorously with alkanes in presence of light by free radical mechanism.It is given that the color of the solution is nearly colorless. F₂ when present in hydrocarbon solvent is light yellow/ colorless/ nearly colorless. Hence, F₂ is not reacting with hydrocarbon and there is no reaction taking place (No F</span>₂ is present<span>)</span>
