Answer:
The halogens are extremely reactive, whilst the noble gases are mainly inert.
Only some noble gases tend to form compounds, such as xenon and krypton. However, some like helium, almost have no compounds at all.
Noble gases also have octet rule shells, which causes the little reactivity associated with them.
To form bonds with noble gases, a lot of energy is required to form those bonds.
Halogens, on the other hand, are extremely reactive. Compounds like chlorine and fluorine must be stored carefully, as they will oxidise anything that they can find, just to get one extra electron to get an octet configuration.
Hope this helps :)
The answer is A I’m not 100 percent sure tho
Answer = B = Neutrons and Mass Number
Isotopes are defined as those atoms which have same atomic number but different atomic masses.
Atomic mass is basically the number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.
Atomic number is the number of protons present in an atom.
So, in isotopes the number of protons are same but the number of neutrons vary due to which atomic masses also vary.
In given three isotopes, all have same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
i.e.
H-1 = 1 P + 0 N = 1 u (Proton)
H-2 = 1 P + 1 N = 2 u (Deuterium)
H-3 = 1 P + 2 N = 3 u (Tritium)
Hence, it is clear that the number after H shows a change in number of neutrons and mass number.
Answer:
D. a nonpolar covalent bond
