Answer:
- <u><em>Option C) Fr (francium)</em></u>
Explanation:
<em>Fluorine (F) </em>is not a metal; thus, the last option is discarded quickly.
The<em> most reactive metals</em> are the alkali metals, group 1 of the periodic table, because they have just one valence electron, which they can release more easily than other metals which have more valence electrons.
<em>Lithium(Li)</em> and <em>francium (Fr)</em> are alkali metals, while <em>aluminum (Al)</em> belongs to group 13, which means that it has 3 valence electrons.
Thus, aluminum is out of race too.
Lithium is in the second period (row 2 of the periodic table) while francium is in the last period (row 7).
The reactivity of metals in a group increases from top to bottom, because the valence electrons are shielded by many electrons (which are in the orbitals of less energy and closer to the nucleus of the atom), meaning that the valence eletrons can be released more easily.
Hence, the most reactive metal from the list is Fr (francium), option C).
Evolution can not be tested by experiment given that it depends largely on observations that fit into a wider scope and point to a common conclusion.
<h3>Can evolution be proven empirically?</h3>
Science is know to be empirical, In science, the evidence that backs up a claim is what establishes it as true or false. Thus all theories must be tested by experiment.
However, the theory of evolution can not be tested by experiment given that it depends largely on observations that fit into a wider scope and point to a common conclusion. In other words, evolution lies “outside of empirical science”.
The fact that it can not be directly proven empirically does not necessarily make it out to be false. That was the conclusion of Paul Ehrlich in his 1967 article.

Answer: A solid silver, Ag, conducts electricity because it contains ions or electrons while solid silver chloride, AgCl, does not conduct electricity because AgCl does not dissociate to give ions or electrons.
Explanation:
Solid silver (Ag) is considered to be a good conductor of electricity because there are more number of free electrons or movable atoms are present in it.
As electricity is the flow of ions or electrons. So, more is the number of ions or electrons present in a substance more will be its conductivity.
Whereas solid silver chloride is a precipitate that is insoluble in water and therefore, it will not give ions or electrons.
As a result, silver chloride is not able to conduct electricity.
Explanation:
This atom is on the almost extreme right of the 2nd period of the periodic table (except for the stable element on the extreme right). This means it has the highest mass number of the unstable elements of the period. It thus attracts its electron clouds more strongly that the elements to the left of the period . This means it can gain an atom easily ( this is what is called electronegativity – tendency to attract an electron) than is can lose an electron. In addition, it only needs to acquire one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration (8) in its valence shell.
Due to these, it is hard for the atoms to lose an electron which is why it has a high ionization energy- the energy required to lose an electron.
