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.

Balancee por tanteo las siguientes ecuaciones químicas. Escriba el nombre a reactantes y productos. H2O5 + H2O ---> HNO3 Na2O
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

a. N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ 2 HNO₃ (pentóxido de dinitrógeno + agua ⇒ ácido nítrico)

b. Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ 2 NaOH (óxido de sodio + agua ⇒ hidróxido de sodio)

Explanation:

Tenemos que balancear, por el método de tanteo, las siguientes ecuaciones químicas.

a. En la primera reacción, el pentóxido de dinitrógeno reacciona con agua para formar ácido nítrico. Es una reacción de síntesis o combinación.

N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ HNO₃

Podremos obtener la ecuación balanceada si multiplicamos HNO₃ por 2.

N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ 2 HNO₃

b. En la segunda reacción, óxido de sodio reacciona con agua para formar hidróxido de sodio. Es una reacción de síntesis o combinación.

Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ NaOH

Podremos obtener la ecuación balanceada si multiplicamos NaOH por 2.

Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ 2 NaOH

Answer:

After Eris was discovered, they had to decide whether Eris was a planet or not. If they decided it wasn't a planet, they had to also decide whether Pluto should be counted as a planet since Eris and Pluto were quite similar. They were the same size, and they were both part of the Kuiper Belt.
