Hey there!
Solid Sodium and water will react spontaneously and release energy. This is based on the reactivity series. Sodium is a highly reactive metal and hence, it is placed at the top of the reactivity series. This is because it loses its outermost electron very readily. When it comes in contact with water, it reacts with it violently to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is exothermic and hence, accompanied with a release of energy. Gold lies at the bottom of the reactivity series as it is very stable and does not give away its outermost electrons easily. Therefore, when it comes in contact with water, there is no reaction and no release of energy.

A p1000 micropipet is set to dispense 1000 µL.
A p10 micropipet set to dispense 10 µL.
Answer:
Second step: 4-bromo-1-methyl-2-nitrobenzene.
Third step: 1.5-dibromo-2-methyl-3-nitrobenzene.
Explanation:
To solve this exercise I will use the concepts of electrophilic substitution. In these reactions, a functional group is displaced by an electrophile. In the attached image are the two main products.
Answer:
B) The term "inert" was dropped because it no longer described all the group 8A elements.
Explanation:
Inert elements in chemistry simply refers to elements that are chemically inactive and are not expected to form any compounds. this is the general belief for the group 8 elements as they all have complete duplet/octet configurations (and ideally, they ought to be very stable with no tendency to form compounds by participating in the loss and gain of electrons). However the discovery of compounds like xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) proved this to be wrong.
Again, the reason the term - inert gses was droppedis beacause this term is not strictly accurate because several of them do take part in chemical reactions.
After dropping the term - Inert gases, they are now referred to as noble gases.
Answer:
You subtract the atomic number from the mass number to find the number of neutrons. If the atom is neutral, the number of electrons will be equal to the number of protons.
