Solution :
<u>Explanation 1 </u>:
Spontaneity of the reaction is based on two factors :
-- the tendency to acquire a state of minimum energy
-- the energy of a system to acquire a maximum randomness.
Now, since there isn't much difference in the bond enthalpies of B-F and B-Cl. So, we can say the major driving factor is tendency to acquire a state of maximum randomness.
<u>Explanation 2 </u>:
A system containing the 
B halides has a 
than a system of 
and 
.
It has the same number of 
, but more distinguishable kinds of 
, hence, more microstates and higher entropy.
Answer:francium
The first ionization energy varies in a predictable way across the periodic table. The ionization energy decreases from top to bottom in groups, and increases from left to right across a period. Thus, helium has the largest first ionization energy, while francium has one of the lowest.
Explanation:
Well you’ll know it’s scientifically sound if enough definitive research and tests have been done AND show good results. Example:I could say that eating ants can cure cancer but if it’s not tested with good results it’s not scientifically sound
