Complete question is;
Chemical reactivity of alkali metals increases down the group while reactivity of halogens decreases down the group. Give reasons
Answer:
Explained below
Explanation:
Alkali metals exhibit reactivity due to their electropositivity. Now, for alkalis, their electro-positivity increases down their group. Since their reactivity increases with increase in electropositivity, it means their reactivity also increases down the group.
Whereas, the reactivity of halogens occurs as a result of their electronegativity. Now, electronegativity for halogens decreases down the group. Since their reactivity decreases with decrease in electronegativity, it means that their reactivity will also decrease down the group.

Answer:
0.499atm
Explanation:
The formula is
P1/V1 = P2/V2
so:
1.26atm/7.40L = P2/2.93L
then:
(1.26atm/7.40L)*2.93L = P2
= 0.4988918911atm
the answer must have 3 sig figs
Answer:
B
Explanation:
the fluorine has an high tendency to gain electrons from other elements with lower electronegativities
Answer:
Two
Explanation:
Elements in group 16 wants to bond with elements in group IIA, the group of alkaline earth metals.
- The bonding will make it easier for them complete their octet.
- Elements in group 16 has 6 valence electrons.
- To have a complete octet, they require 2 more electrons.
- Group II elements are willing donors as they are metals.
- For Group II elements to fill their octets, they must lose two electrons.
- So the willingness of group II elements to lose two electrons and the readiness for group 16 elements to gain the electrons makes the desire one another.
