The (2) calcium atom, because when looking at the periodic table, we see that the calcium atom is in a location where according to the periodic table, has the lower electronegativities in respect to the other three choices. We see that it also has a lower electronegativity value than the others. Electronegativity is the attraction constant for the electrons in a chemical bond. The higher the electronegativity, the higher the attraction of the electrons. Fluorine has the highest electronegativity with 4.0.
Answer:
9.2
Explanation:
M = mol of solute/L of solution
L/325 mL x 1000 mL/L = 0.325 L
3.0/0.325 = 9.2
*2 sig figs*
Halogens and Alkali react aggressively.
One mole of C= 12 grams
two moles of O =32
so one mole of CO^2 is44 grams
.1 moles or 1/10 moles of 44 grams is 4.4 grams
<u>Answer:</u> The tendency of an element to react is closely related to the number of valence electrons in the element.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Chemical reactivity is defined as the tendency of an element to loose of gain electrons.
Metals tend to loose electrons and so their chemical reactivity is the tendency to loose electrons.
Non-metals tend to gain electrons and so their chemical reactivity is the tendency to gain electrons.
The number of electrons that an element will loose or gain depends on the number of valence electrons present around that element.
<u>For Example:</u> Chlorine has 7 valence electrons and need 1 electron to complete its octet, whereas sulfur has 6 valence electrons and need 2 electrons to complete its octet.
So, chlorine will gain 1 electron easily than sulfur and thus, is more reactive than sulfur.
Hence, the tendency of an element to react is closely related to the number of valence electrons in the element.
