Electronegativity.
Electronegativity can be defined as the measure of affinity of the element towards electrons . Higher the affinity towards electrons higher the electronegativity.
Eg : Fluorine has a high electronegativity. This is because it has 7 valence electrons, to gain a noble gas configuration / complete outer shell it needs to gain one electron. Hence the positive nuclear charge of the nucleus will attract an electron so it can become a complete outer shell , therefore F is very reactive.
Higher the attraction of the nucleus to electrons , higher its affinity therefore higher electronegativity.

Which of the following elements is the least reactive metal? Sodium, Rubidium, Chlorine, and Magnesium.​
LuckyWell [14K]
First off chlorine is not a metal so you can ignore that one.

Sodium and Rubidium are in group 1 of the periodic table and Magnesium is in group 2.

Group one metals are more reactive than group two because it is harder for the group two metals to lose their 2 valence (outer most) electrons.

As you go down group 1 there is an increase in the reactivity this is because as you go down there is an increase in the atomic radius which leads to more shielding. This weakens the electrostatic forces of attraction making it easier to lose the outermost electrons, therefore they are more reactive.

Which nonmetal would an ion of Ca2+ MOST LIKELY ionically bond with in a 1:1 ratio? A) one atom of neon B) one atom of carbon C)
GalinKa [24]
Ca2+ would bond to any element in a 1 to 1 ratio that had an equal and opposite charge.

Neon is a noble gas, and doesn’t form bonds m

Carbon isn’t typically found in ion state, but if it did, it would likely by C4+

Flouring in ionic state is F1-, so you would need 2 flourines to cancel the 2+ charge of Calcium

Then the only option left would be Oxygen which, when in ion form is found be 2-

A. The patch's area in square kilometers (km²) is 1.61×10⁻⁹ km²

B. The cost of the patch to the nearest cent is 734 cents

<h3>A. How to convert 16.1 cm² to square kilometers (km²)</h3>

We can convert 16.1 cm² to km² as illustrated below:

Conversion scale

1 cm² = 1×10⁻¹⁰ km²

Therefore,

16.1 cm² = 16.1 × 1×10⁻¹⁰

16.1 cm² = 1.61×10⁻⁹ km²

Thus, 16.1 cm² is equivalent to 1.61×10⁻⁹ km²

<h3>B. How to determine the cost in cent</h3>

We'll begin by converting 16.1 cm² to in². This can be obtained as illustrated below:

1 cm² = 0.155 in²

Therefore,

16.1 cm² = 16.1 × 0.155

16.1 cm² = 2.4955 in²

Finally, we shall the determine the cost in centas fo r llow:

  • Cost per in² = $2.94 = 294 cent
  • Cost of 2.4955 in² =?

1 in² = 294 cent

Therefore,

2.4955 in² = 2.4955 × 294

2.4955 in² = 734 cents

Thus, the cost of the patch is 734 cents
