Which of the following Group 17 elements is the least reactive?
1 answer:
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 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.

Answer:- 0.134 seconds
Solution:- The speed is given as and the circumference is 24900 miles which is same as the distance light have to covered. It asks to calculate the time required to cover this distance by the light.
We need to do unit conversion from miles to meter as the speed is given in meter per second.
1 mile = 1609.34 meter
So,
= 40072566 meters
Know that,
It's rearranged to time as,
Let's plug in the values in it:
= 0.134 seconds
So, the light would take 0.134 seconds to travel the mentioned speed. The answer without the unit is 0.134.
