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.

Hello,
In this case, by using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation one can compute the concentration of acetate, which acts as the base, as shown below:

Answer:- There are 32 valence electrons and it's tetrahedral in shape.
Explanations:- Atomic number of carbon is 6 and it's electron configuration is . It has 4 electrons in the outer most shell means it has 4 valence electrons.
Atomic number of Br is 35 and it's electron configuration is . It has 7 electrons in the outer most shell(2 in 4s and 5 in 4p) .
There is one C and four Br in the given compound. So, total number of valence electrons = 4+4(7) = 4+28 = 32
Four Br atoms are bonded to the central carbon atom and also there isn't any lone pair present on carbon. It makes it tetrahedral.
