<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.
Answer:
Explanation:
The HF is about five million times as strong as phenol, so it will be by far the major contributor of hydronium ions. We can ignore the contribution from the phenol.
1 .Calculate the hydronium ion concentration
We can use an ICE table to organize the calculations.
HF + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + F⁻
I/mol·L⁻¹: 2.7 0 0
C/mol·L⁻¹: -x +x +x
E/mol·L⁻¹: 2.7 - x x x

Answer:
the raising atomic number
Explanation:
Elements are listed on the periodic table according to their atomic number.
Answer:
Alcohols are usually named by the first procedure and are designated by an -ol suffix, as in ethanol, CH3CH2OH (note that a locator number is unnecessary on a two-carbon chain). On longer chains the location of the hydroxyl group determines chain numbering. For example: (CH3)2C=CHCH(OH)CH3 is 4-methyl-3-penten-2-ol.10
