2. Which of the following elements does not lose an electron easily? (a) Na (6) F (c) Mg (d) Al​
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Answer: (b) F

Explanation:

Sodium has 1, magnesium has 2 and Aluminium has 3 electrons in its outermost shell whereas Fluorine has 7 electrons in its outermost shell hence Fluorine does not lose electrons easily.

The electronic configuration of fluorine is 2,7.

Fluorine is the ninth element with a total of 9 electrons.

The first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital.

The next 2 electrons for F go in the 2s orbital.

The remaining five electrons will go in the 2p orbital. Therefore the F electron configuration will be 1s22s22p5.

natta225 [31]

Answer:

554.86kj

Explanation: Since 1 mole of CaC2=15.14kj yield 1mole of C2H2

The enthalpy change of H2O is 2*285=570

570+-15.14=554.86kj

Hence Hp is 554.86kj

He=Hp
