Answer:
Fluorine has seven electrons in 2p-subshell whereas chlorine has seven electrons in its 3p-subshell. 3p-subshell is relatively larger than 2p-subshell. Therefore, repulsion among the electrons will be more in the 2p-shell of fluorine than 3p-subshell in chlorine. Due to the smaller size and thus, the greater electron-electron repulsions, fluorine will not accept an incoming electron with the same as chlorine.
double-displacement reaction
Explanation:
We have the chemical reaction:
Na₂S (aq) + Cd(NO₃)₂ (aq) → CdS (s) + 2 NaNO₃ (aq)
where:
(aq) - aqueous
(s) - solid
This is a double-displacement reaction because the reactants exchange atoms or group of atoms between themselves to form the products. To drive the reaction to the right, one of the products is a precipitate.
Generally we can express the double-displacement reaction as following:
AB + CD → AC + BD

Answer:
So, the energy of two hydrogen atoms is lower when the two atoms are together than when the two atoms are apart; that is why they stay together.
Explanation:
That will make a gold-202 nucleus.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Refer to a periodic table. The atomic number of mercury Hg is 80.
Step One: Bombard the 
with a neutron 
. The neutron will add 1 to the mass number 202 of 
. However, the atomic number will stay the same.
- New mass number: 202 + 1 = 203.
- Atomic number is still 80.
.
Double check the equation:
- Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 202 + 1 = 203 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
- Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.
Step Two: The 
nucleus loses a proton 
. Both the mass number 203 and the atomic number will decrease by 1.
- New mass number: 203 - 1 = 202.
- New atomic number: 80 - 1 = 79.
Refer to a periodic table. What's the element with atomic number 79? Gold Au.
.
Double check the equation:
- Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 203 = 202 + 1 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
- Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = 79 + 1 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.
A gold-202 nucleus is formed.
