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.

What is the charge associated with each side of the HCl molecule?
Alexandra [31]

HCl is a polar molecule with the hydrogen part being partial positive while the chlorine end being partial negative. This is because hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0. This means that chlorine attracted most of the electron cloud of molecule hence is the negative dipole, The dipole moment of HCl is 1.08 D (debyes). A Debye is equal to 3.34 x 10-30 coulomb-meters (C-m). The charge of each molecule is o.176+ for H and 0.176- for the Cl

Which physical change is endothermic?
Helen [10]

Answer: The correct option is 1.

Explanation: Endothermic reactions are the reactions in which heat is provided to break down the reactant molecules.

In option 1:

The stronger intermolecular forces between the particles in solid molecule are broken down to convert into gaseous form. Hence, some energy in the form of heat is provided to move them far apart. Therefore, it is considered as an endothermic reaction.

In option 2, 3 and 4:

All the other processes involves the formation of bonds and thus there is no need to provide any energy.
