Answer: The reactivity of group 7 decreases as we move down the group because:

Explanation:

The elements of group 7 that is fluorine to iodine. The halogens are non metals and they react with metals to gain electrons. The metals loose electrons and the non metal gains it.

As we move down the group  the atomic radius gets bigger( more electron and more proton) and as a result the outer shells move further away from the nucleus.

There is more distance between the negatively charged electrons and positively charged nucleus.

Therefore the force of attraction between the shells and nucleus is lesser or weaker.

This makes attracting an extra electron from metals very difficult which results in weaker reaction.

Consequently, the reactivity decreases as we move down the group 7

When can I use ideal gas law?
Elis [28]
Answer:

The ideal gas law can be used in stoichiometry problems in which chemical reactions involve gases. Standard temperature and pressure (STP) are a useful set of benchmark conditions to compare other properties of gases. At STP, gases have a volume of 22.4 L per mole.

Consider the following properties: I) The red color of rubies is due to the presence of chromium ions. II) Objects made of silve
quester [9]

Answer:

II) Objects made of silver become tarnished.

Explanation:

Physical properties are the properties which can be observed without changing identity of substance.

Chemical properties are the properties which describe how the substance changes into the different substance completely.

Boiling is an example of physical change in state of the substance. Color is also an example of physical property like boiling point and hence these are constants. The reason of the color is that the chromium ions shows certain colors as the electrons are excited due to absorption of the light. The tarnishing of the silver is an example of the chemical change which occurs due to the reaction of the silver with oxygen. This is also known as corrosion.

Consider the following reaction mechanism:
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

  • <em><u>Step 2 (the slow step).</u></em>

Explanation:

The rate-determining step is always the slow step of a mechanism.

That is so, because it is the slow step which limits the reaction.

Imaging that for assembling a toy you have process of three steps:

  • 1. order ten pieces, which you can do in 1 minute: meaning that you can order order the pieces for 60/1 = 60 toys in 1 hour.

  • 2. glue the pieces and hold the toy until the glue hardens, which takes 1 hour: meaning finishingh 1 toy in 1 hour.

  • 3. pack the toy, which takes 2 minutes: meaning that you can pack 60/2 = 30 toys in one hour.

The time to glue and hold one toy until the glue hardens determines that you can assemble 1 toy in 1 hour and not 60 toys or 30 toys.

Thus, the step that determines the rate at which the reaction happens is the slowest step: step 2.

With initial consent for a warrantless search, police spent three days searching a
xz_007 [3.2K]

Michigan v. Tyler was the Supreme court ruling that they violated when

warrantless search was done.

<h3>Michigan v. Tyler case</h3>

The Court of Appeals of the State of Michigan affirmed the conviction for the

exception of a warrantless search only in the case of an arson.

In this case, there was no arson involved which is against the rule of law as

various items (stolen money, illegal weapons, drugs) were only searched for.

This thereby violates the U.S. Supreme Court ruling between Michigan v.

Tyler.
