Answer:

The correct option is;

D. All the elements in families 1 and 2 can place all their shell electrons in the s sub-level

Explanation:

The elements in families 1 and 2 also called the group 1A and group 2A elements are known as the alkali and alkaline earth metals. The elements in the families 1 and 2 are also referred to as the s-block elements as they have their valence electrons which are 1 and 2 respectively, in the s-orbital or s sub-level

Due to their low ionization energy, and the ease with which they donate their valence electrons, elements of the families 1 and 2 are known to be very reactive, and are found in a combined state in nature.

For the following electrochemical reaction: Al3+(aq) + 3e -> Al(s) Eº = -1.66 V E° = 2.87 F2(g) + 2e -> 2F (aq) Calculate

<u>Answer:</u> The standard electrode potential of the cell is 4.53 V.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

$E^o_{(F_2/F^-)}=2.87V\\E^o_{(Al^{3+}/Al)}=-1.66V$

The substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, fluorine will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.
