What happens to the reactivity of nonmetals within a group from top of the group to the bottom?

1 answer:

6 0

As you go down a group, the atoms get bigger. The bigger the atom, the more unstable it is. The more unstable it is, the more reactive the atom will be. So, as you go down a group, the nonmetals will become more reactive.

Who started sneakers

hodyreva [135]

In late 18th century, people wore rubber soled shoes called plimsolls, but they weren't the best sneakers. Around 1892, a US company named Keds started sneakers with a canvas top and rubber soles. By 1917, these were mass produced.

(a)-Use Lewis symbol store present there action that occurs between Ca and F atoms. (b)-What is the chemical formula of the most

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) The Lewis structure is shown in the image below.

(b) $CaF_2$

(c) Calcium loses 2 electrons to 2 atoms of fluorine and these 2 atoms of fluorine accepts each electron to form ionic bond.

(d) Calcium atom loses electrons.

Explanation:

Calcium is the element of second group and forth period. The electronic configuration of Calcium is - 2, 8, 8, 2 or $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2$

There are 2 valence electrons of Calcium.

Fluorine is the element of group 17 and second period. The electronic configuration of the element fluorine is - 2, 7 or $1s^22s^22p^5$

There is 1 valence electron of fluorine.

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom is complete.

Thus, calcium loses 2 electrons to 2 atoms of fluorine and these 2 atoms of fluorine accepts each electron to form ionic bond. This is done in order that the octet of the atoms are complete and they become stable.

Thus, the formula of calcium chloride is $CaF_2$ .

(a) The Lewis structure is shown in the image below.

(b) $CaF_2$

(c) Calcium loses 2 electrons to 2 atoms of fluorine and these 2 atoms of fluorine accepts each electron to form ionic bond.

(d) Calcium atom loses electrons.

Write isotopic symbols in the form AZX for each isotope. a. the copper isotope with 34 neutrons b. the copper isotope with 36 ne

krek1111 [17]

Explanation:

The form AZX denoted that;

Z = The atomic number or proton number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of every atom of that element.

A = Mass Number ( Sum of Neutrons and Protons)

X represents the element.

A. the copper isotope with 34 neutrons

X = Cu

Atomic Number of Copper, Z = 29

Mass Number, A = 29 + 34 = 63

63.29.Cu

B. the copper isotope with 36 neutrons

X = Cu

Atomic Number of Copper, Z = 29

Mass Number, A = 29 + 36 = 65

65.29.Cu

C. the potassium isotope with 21 neutrons

X = K

Atomic Number of Potassium, Z = 19

Mass Number, A = 19 + 21 = 40

40.19.K

D. the argon isotope with 22 neutrons

X = Ar

Atomic Number of Argon, Z = 18

Mass Number, A = 18 + 22 = 40

40.18.Ar
