In each of the following sets of elements, which one will be least likely to gain or lose electrons?
klasskru [66]
1. The reactivity among the alkali metals increases as you go down the group due to the decrease in the effective nuclear charge from the increased shielding by the greater number of electrons. The greater the atomic number, the weaker the hold on the valence electron the nucleus has, and the more easily the element can lose the electron. Conversely, the lower the atomic number, the greater pull the nucleus has on the valence electron, and the less readily would the element be able to lose the electron (relatively speaking). Thus, in the first set comprising group I elements, sodium (Na) would be the least likely to lose its valence electron (and, for that matter, its core electrons).

2. The elements in this set are the group II alkaline earth metals, and they follow the same trend as the alkali metals. Of the elements here, beryllium (Be) would have the highest effective nuclear charge, and so it would be the least likely to lose its valence electrons. In fact, beryllium has a tendency not to lose (or gain) electrons, i.e., ionize, at all; it is unique among its congeners in that it tends to form covalent bonds.

3. While the alkali and alkaline earth metals would lose electrons to attain a noble gas configuration, the group VIIA halogens, as we have here, would need to gain a valence electron for an full octet. The trends in the group I and II elements are turned on their head for the halogens: The smaller the atomic number, the less shielding, and so the greater the pull by the nucleus to gain a valence electron. And as the atomic number increases (such as when you go down the group), the more shielding there is, the weaker the effective nuclear charge, and the lesser the tendency to gain a valence electron. Bromine (Br) has the largest atomic number among the halogens in this set, so an electron would feel the smallest pull from a bromine atom; bromine would thus be the least likely here to gain a valence electron.

4. The pattern for the elements in this set (the group VI chalcogens) generally follows that of the halogens. The greater the atomic number, the weaker the pull of the nucleus, and so the lesser the tendency to gain electrons. Tellurium (Te) has the highest atomic number among the elements in the set, and so it would be the least likely to gain electrons.

How are protists different from plants​
kotegsom [21]

Answer/ explanation :

Protist can be multicellular or unicellular organisms

Plants are all multicellular and also exhibit cellular differentiation.

Protist can be autotroph, heterotrophic or decomposer

Plants are only autotrophs because they manufacture their own food through photosynthesis

Protists are microscopic, more diverse and abundant in nature

Plants are big and complex in nature

Nuclear DNA strands in plants are of higher complexity than those of protist

Plants require oxygen for cellular respiration process unlike protist which can be aerobic and some other species facultative anaerobic

Plants only can reproduce asexually through bulbs and tubers as in yam, potatoes while protists reproduce either sexually through meiosis or asexually through simple cell division.

What effect does adding a neutron have on the atoms identity
Sergeu [11.5K]

Neutrons don’t carry an electrical charge, meaning that adding or subtracting them from the nucleus will not change the electrical charge of the nucleus of an atom. But, adding/removing neutrons changes the mass of the nucleus. This is how isotopes are formed.

Does an astronaut have more mass on earth then space? why or why not?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

No, his mass remains the same no matter where he is in the universe.

But then again the moon has less gravitational pull, therefore your weight and mass will be smaller in space and on the moon than on earth

I hope this was helpful! ;)
