Reactivity decreases from period 2 to period 4
Afina-wow [57]4 years ago
3 0

<u>Answer:</u> The non-metal present in Period 2 will be more reactive than the non-metal present in Period 4.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Chemical reactivity is defined as the tendency of an element to loose of gain electrons.

Non-metals are the elements which gains electrons and hence, their chemical reactivity will be the tendency to loose electrons.

The chemical reactivity of non-metals decreases as we move from top to bottom in a group. As, the electrons get added up in the new shell. So, the the electron in the outermost orbital gets far away from the nucleus and experiences less nuclear charge. Thus, the chemical reactivity of non-metals decreases.

As per the question, the non-metal present in Period 2 will be more reactive than the non-metal present in Period 4.

What alkene reacts the fastest with HBr?
Rasek [7]
The first step in the reaction is the double bond of the Alkene going after the H of HBr. This protonates the Alkene via Markovnikov's rule, and forms a carbocation. The stability of this carbocation dictates the rate of the reaction. 

<span>So to solve your problem, protonate all your Alkenes following Markovnikov's rule, and then compare the relative stability of your resulting carbocations. Tertiary is more stable than secondary, so an Alkene that produces a tertiary carbocation reacts faster than an Alkene that produces a secondary carbocation.
