The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Which of the following Group 17 elements is the least reactive

a) Flourine

b) Chlorine

c) Astatine

d) Iodine

Answer: c) Astatine

Explanation:

Halogen is the name given to Group 17 family with general electronic configuration of ns^2np^5 which have 7 valence electrons and thus easily gain one electron to attain stable configuration.

As we move down the group from flourine to chlorine to bromine to iodine to astatine , the valence shell moves farther from nucleus and thus tendency to accept the electron decreases and thus reactivity also decreases.

Thus Astatine is the least reactive of all.

The first attempt to classify the elements was made by newlands true or false​
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

True. An English scientist by the name of John Newlands tried to classify the elements in a unique manner. He first started by arranging all the elements in a ascending order according to their atomic weights.

The molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 4.11 g of NaI in enough water to prepare 312 mL of solution is
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is 8.79 × 10⁻² M.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the mass of NaI given is 4.11 grams. The molecular mass of NaI is 149.89 gram per mole. The moles of NaI can be determined by using the formula,

No. of moles of NaI = Weight of NaI/ Molecular mass

= 4.11 / 149.89

= 0.027420

The vol. of the solution given is 312 ml or 0.312 L

The molarity can be determined by using the formula,

Molarity = No. of moles/ Volume of the solution in L

= 0.027420/0.312

= 0.0879 M or 8.79 × 10⁻² M

Answer:

Covalent bonding

Explanation:

In covalent bonding, the electrons are shared to fill the octet rule (8 electrons in valence shell). CCl4 tends to do covalent bonding because the the 4 valence electrons are Carbon are shared with the Chlorine atoms so that each chlorine atom has a full octet and chlorine shares its electrons to fill the octet of carbon.

Also, since carbon and chlorine are both non-metal, non-metal things exhibit covalent bonding thus this is covalent bonding as well. Ionic boding is for metal and non metal pair where electrons are transferrred, in our case, electrons are shared, they are not transferred.
