Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

More is the electronegativity of an atom or element more will be its reactivity.

When we move across a period from left to right in a Periodic table then there will increase in electronegativity. And, when we move down a group then there will be decrease in electronegativity.

Oxygen, sulfur and selenium are all group 16 elements. So, their electronegativity decreases down the group. Also, nitrogen is less electronegative than oxygen atom.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options element oxygen is more reactive than the others.

Calculate the standard potential for the following galvanic cell: Ni(s) | Ni2+(aq) || Ag+(aq) | Ag(s) which has the overall bala
mylen [45]

Answer:

1.06  V  

Explanation:

The standard reduction potentials are:

Ag^+/Ag     E° =  0.7996 V  

Ni^2+/Ni     E° = -0.257   V

The half-cell and cell reactions for Ni | Ni^2+ || Ag^+ | Ag are

Ni → Ni^2+ + 2e-                     E° = 0.257   V

<u>2Ag^+ 2e- → 2Ag               </u>    <u>E° = 0.7996 V </u>

Ni + 2Ag^+ → Ni^2+ + 2Ag     E° = 1.0566  V

To three significant figures, the standard potential for the cell is 1.06 V .

Describe the observation Robert Brown made.​
12345 [234]

Answer:

In 1827, Brown observed, using a microscope, that small particles ejected from pollen grains suspended in water executed a kind of continuous and jittery movement, this was named “Brownian motion”. ... This random movement of particles suspended in a fluid is now called after him.

For each value of the principal quantum number n, what are the possible values of the electron spin quantum number?
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The values for spin quantum number +1/2 and - 1/2

Explanation:

Principal quantum number denoted by (n) is used to describe the shell or orbits that electrons are found. Principal quantum number can assume a value of n= 1,2, 3, 4,5............ which indicates K, L, M, N, O shell respectively.

To know the maximum number of electrons in each shell, the formula (2n²) can be used. The letter 'n' denotes the values of principal quantum number 1,2,3,4

For example

  • n=1 (K shell) has maximum number of 2 electrons
  • n=2 (L shell) has the maximum number of 8 electrons
  • n=3 (M shell) has the maximum number of 18 electrons
  • n=4 (N shell) has the maximum number of 32 electrons

All the electron in each shell will have a spin quantum number of +1/2 and - 1/2. One electron in each degenerate orbital will spin up (+1/2) while the other electron will spin down (-1/2).
