Answer:   Iodine

Explanation:  Cesium is the alkali metal which belongs to the group 1 of the periodic table.

Iodine is the Group 17 element which are known as the Halogens as they are the group of the most electronegative atoms.

Zinc belongs to the Transition metal d block .

Xenon belongs to the Group 18 of noble gases.

The electronic configuration will help us to determine which can gain electron to have a full outermost shell.

Cesium (Cs) = [Xe] 6s1

Zinc (Zn) = [Ar] 3d10 4s2

Iodine(I) =  [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p5

Xenon (Xe) = Kr 4d10 5s2 5p6

Thus Iodine can easily gain one electron to have complete outermost shell.

Iodine has 7 valence electrons. It needs therefore only 1 electron to be stable this is why it is so reactive.

The average strength of a hydrogen bond is approximately what percent of the average strength of a covalent bond?
lozanna [386]

<span>Hydrogen bonds are approximately 5% of the bond strength of covalent bonds, for example (C-C or C-H bonds).
Hydrogen bonds strength in water is approximately 20 kJ/mol, strenght of carbon-carbon bond is approximately 350 kJ/mol and strengh of carbon-hydrogen bond is approximately 340 kJ/mol.
20 kJ/350 kJ = 0,057 = 5,7 %.</span>
