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.

Can the pH scale be utilized for all acids (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowery, and Lewis)? Give examples of substances from each defini
GuDViN [60]

Explanation:

Before proceeding to answering the questions, let us go over some definitions.

pH scale: The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic.

pH stands for Potential of Hydrogen. It refers to the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.

The keywords being; Hydrogen Ion concentration.

A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a chemical species that donates one or more hydrogen ions in a reaction.

A Lewis acid is  any substance that can accept a pair of nonbonding electrons. It is an electron pair acceptor.

An Arrhenius acid is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydrogen ions or protons.

Based on the definitions of given above, it is obseved that both Bronsted lowry and arrhenius acids deals with hydrogen ions. Hence both of this acids can be measured using the pH scale. The  lewis acid on the other hand do not necessarily contain hydrogen ions, hence the pH scale cannot be utilized for it.

Examples includes;

Arrhenius acid; Nitric Acid – HNO3 etc

Lewis acid; boron trifluoride (BF3) and aluminum fluoride (AlF3) etc

Bronsted lowry acid; HCl etc

Describe the structure of the beryllium atom. In your answer make reference to the number of sub-atomic particles and where they
dusya [7]

Answer:

The nucleus consists of 4 protons (red) and 5 neutrons (orange). Four electrons (white) occupy available electron shells (rings). The stability of an element's outer (valence) electrons determines its chemical and physical properties. Subatomic particles are particles that are smaller than the atom. Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the three main subatomic particles found in an atom. Protons have a positive (+) charge. An easy way to remember this is to remember that both proton and positive start with the letter "P."

hope this helped:)
