Which of the following best helps to explain why the electron affinity of Br has a greater magnitude than that of I?

Chemistry

tankabanditka [31]2 years ago

The reason why  Br has a greater magnitude of electron affinity than that of I is that there is a greater attraction between an added electron and the nucleus in Br than in I.

In the periodic table, there are trends that increase down the group and across the period. Electron affinity is a trend that increases across the period but decreases down the group.

Recall that the ability of an atom to accept an electron depends on the size of the atom. The smaller the atom, the greater the attraction between an added electron and the nucleus.

Since Br is smaller than I, there is a greater attraction between an added electron and the nucleus in Br than in I which explains why Br has a greater magnitude of electron affinity than  I.

How does changing the concentration of the reactants change the parts of a rate law? It changes the rate, R. It changes the rate
Sidana [21]

Answer

A. It changes the rate, R

Explanation

When we change the concentration of the reactants in a chemical reaction, it affects the rate of reaction that happens in the process. Typically, the rate of reaction will decrease with time if the concentration of the reactants decreases because the reactants will be converted to products. Similarly, the rate of reaction will increase when the concentration of reactants are increased.
