The reactivity of metals increases from right to left because metals are electropositive in nature.

Metals react by electron loss. The more reactive metals are able to loose electron easily. However, the ability of metals to loose electrons decreases from left to right. This means that as you move towards the right, metals steadily loose the ability to loose electrons easily.

As a result of this, the reactivity of metals increases from right to left as we move towards those metals that loose electrons easily.

Which postulate of Dalton's atomic model was later changed and why?
telo118 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

Part two of Dalton's theory had to be modified after mass spectrometry experiments demonstrated that atoms of the same element can have different masses because the number of neutrons can vary for different isotopes of the same element. ... Scientists have even developed the technology to see the world on an atomic level!

hoped i helped you :)

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom’s affinity for electrons. Which of the following statements is true? Electronegativity
jekas [21]

Answer: Electronegativity increases as the size of an atom decrease.

Explanation: Electronegativity is the measure of the ability of an atom in a bond to attract electrons to itself.

Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.

Towards the left of the table, valence shells are less than half full, so these atoms (metals) tend

to lose electrons and have low electronegativity. Towards the right of the table, valence shells are more than half full, so these atoms (nonmetals) tend to gain electrons and have high electronegativity.

Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, and so does the distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. The increased distance and the increased shielding weaken the nuclear attraction, and so an atom can’t attract electrons as strongly.

A chemical equation is shown:
taurus [48]

 The number  of  oxygen atoms  are 6  atoms


  <u><em>Explanation</em></u>

According to the law of mass conservation the number of  reactant atoms   is equal to  number  of product atoms.

For  given equation  to  obey  the  law of mass  conservation  it need to be balanced as below

4 Al + 3 O₂ → 2 Al₂O₃

Al₂O₃  is the  product,therefore the number of oxygen atom

= coefficient  in front  of   Al₂O₃   ×  subscript  of O

=2 x 3  = 6 atoms
