Halogens are a group of elements consisting of Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. In their ionic form, they have a superscript of -1, for example, chloride ion is Cl-1. These means that they readily accept one electron in order to achieve the Octet rule. The Octet rule states that each atom must contain 8 electrons in their valence shell for it to be stable. The most stable set of elements are the noble gases. Because they already fulfill the Octet rule, they no longer take part in reactions. Halogens are also very electronegative, meaning, they attract more electrons toward them. This is also a consequence of the Octet rule.
From the choices, the answers would be:
<span>they require only one electron to complete their outer shell
they have a high electronegativity</span>
Answer:
Zn =⇒ Zn+2(0.10) + 2e- (anode)
Zn+2(?M) + 2e- === Zn(s) (cathode)
Zn + Zn+2(?M) ===⇒ Zn+2(0.10) + Zn
E = E^o -0.0592 log Q; in this case E^o is zero.
E = - 0.0592 /n logQ where n is the number of electrons transferred, in this
case n = 2
23 mV x 1 volt/1000mv = 0.023 Volts
0.023 = -0.0592 / 2 log(0.10) / [Zn+2]
0.023 = -0.0296 { log 0.10 – log [Zn+2] }
0.023 = -0.0296{ -1 - log[Zn+2] }
0.023 = +0.0296 + 0.0296log[Zn+2]
-0.0066 = 0.0296log[Zn+2]
-0.22= log[Zn+2]
[Zn+2] = 10^-0.22 = 0.603 Molar
Anything can be homogenous as long as you can only see the same type of liquid
think about it like this
orange juice with pulp is Hetero
orange juice with no pulp is homo
In chemical reactions the reactants are on the left side of the equation and the product are on the right
