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

A gas occupies a volume of 31.0 ml at 19.0°C. If the gas temperature rises to 38.0°C at constant pressure. Calculate the new vol
Alik [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.0033 L (33.0 mL)

Explanation:

We uses the Charles's law which describes the changes in the volume (V) of a gas and its temperature in Kelvin (T) at constant pressure. The mathematical expression is the following:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

We have the following data:

V₁= 31.0 mL = 0.0031 L

T₁= 19.0°C = 292 K

T₂= 38.0°C = 311 K

V₂= ?

We calculate V₂ from the mathematical expression, as follows:

V₂= V₁/T₁ x T₂ = 0.0031 L/(292 K) x 311 K = 0.0033 L

Blood is red. Is this an intensive or extensive physical property?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: Intensive physical property

Explanation: Color is an intensive physical property since intensive properties are properties that stay the same no matter the amount of the substance is present. Blood is still red whether or not you have 2 liters of it or 4 liters.

What are the steps to measure the density of a solid?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Look below

Explanation:

The formula for density is:

Density=\frac{mass}{volume}

Therefore in order to find the density of a solid, you must find the mass and the volume first.

To find the mass, you can use a scale.

To find the volume, you can use the water displacement method. For example, if you fill the water of a graduated cylinder to 10 mL, and then you put a rock inside, and it rises to 15 mL, then the volume (of the rock) is 15mL-10mL=5mL.
