Decide which element probably forms a compound with chlorine that has a chemical formula most and least similar to the chemical

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

phosphorus - least similar to barium

beryllium - most similar to barium

Explanation:

The formula of the chloride formed between barium and chlorine is BaCl2.

Barium is a metallic element and has the valency of +2. Beryllium is also a group two metal with a valency of +2. Hence the compound formed between beryllium and chlorine is BeCl2

Phosphorus is a nonmetal and forms a completely different chloride from BaCl2. The chloride of phosphorus is PCl5 and PCl3. These are least similar to BaCl2

Which answer is an isotope of 40/20x? <br><br> Question Pictured here:

Nesterboy [21]

An isotope of ₂₀⁴⁰X ⇒₂₀⁴⁴X

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons.

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)

In the following element notation,

$\large {{{A} \atop {Z}} \right X}$

X = symbol of elemental atom

A = mass number

= number of protons + number of neutrons

Z = atomic number

= number of protons = number of electrons, on neutral elements

For symbol of isotope X :

₂₀X⁴⁰ : atomic number = 20, mass number = 40

A. ₄₀²⁰X : atomic number = 40, mass number = 20, neutrons=20

B. ₂₀⁴⁰X²⁺ : atomic number = 20, mass number = 40, neutrons=20

C. ₂₁⁴⁰X : atomic number = 21, mass number = 40, neutrons=19

D. ₂₀⁴⁴X : atomic number = 20, mass number = 44, neutrons=22

Which of the following statements correctly explains why bromination reactions are more selective than chlorination reactions.

Vinvika [58]

Answer: A bromine radical is more stable than chlorine radical, so it is less reactive and more choosy.

Explanation:

A chlorine atom being more electronegative in nature is able to attract a hydrogen atom more readily towards itself as compared to a bromine atom.

Since bromine is less electronegative in nature so bromine will be more selective as a hydrogen abstracting agent. As a result, bromine radical is more stable in nature than chlorine radical.

Thus, we can conclude that bromine radical is more stable than chlorine radical, so it is less reactive and more choosy.
