Elements of iodine are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and astatine.
Answer:
An intensive property is a property of matter that does not change as the amount of matter changes. It is a bulk property, which means it is a physical property that is not dependent on the size or mass of a sample.
In contrast, an extensive property is one that does depend on sample size. Examples of extensive properties include mass and volume.
Both of you are overlooking a pretty big component of the question...the Group I cation isn't being dissociated into water. We're testing the solubility of the cation when mixed with HCl. And this IS a legitimate question, seeing as our lab manual is the one asking.
<span>By the way, the answer you're looking for is "Because Group I cations have insoluble chlorides". </span>
<span>"In order...to distinguish cation Group I, one adds HCl to a sample. If a Group I cation is present in the sample, a precipitate will form." </span>
Answer:
The attractive force is negative and MgO has a higher melting point
Explanation:
From Couloumb's law:
Energy of interaction, E = k 
where q1 and q2 are the charges of the ions, k is Coulomb's constant and r is the distance between both ions, i.e the atomic radii of the ions.
If you look at Coulomb's law, you note that in the force is negative (because q1 is negative while q2 is positive).
In addition to that, the compounds MgO and NaF have similar combined ionic radii, then we can determine the melting point trend from the amount of energy gotten
The melting point of ionic compounds is determined by 1. charge on the ions 2. size of ions. while NaF has smaller charges (+1 and -1), MgO (+2 and -2) has larger charges and greater combined atomic radii. This implies that the compound with greater force would have a higher melting point.
Hence the compound MgO would have a higher melting point than NaF.
