Answer: The correct option is The properties of a noble gas.
Explanation: There are 7 periods in the periodic table.
The last element of each period are Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), Radon (Rn) and Ununoctium (Uuo).
- The electronic configuration for Helium is . For He, The outermost electrons are 2.
- The electronic configuration for all the other elements is ( where, n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 respectively). For all the other gases, the outermost electrons are 8.
All these elements have stable electronic configuration and are not reactive in nature. Hence, they are considered as noble gases.
Therefore, the last element of each period always have the properties of a noble gas.
Explanation:
For example, Identify the number and type of ions formed in a reaction of calcium and carbon. Step 1: Determine the number of valence electrons for each element and whether the element loses or gains electrons. Calcium has 2 valence electrons and is a metal so it will give up two electrons.
To solve this problem, we must be given first the density
of air at 20 degrees Celsius. Looking up online, this is equal to:
density air (20C) = 0.0012041 g/mL
so that the volume is:
volume balloon = 0.57 g / (0.0012041
g/mL)
<span>volume balloon = 473.38 mL</span>
