Explain why is sodium less reactive than potassium

Chemistry
1 answer:
leva [86]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

As potassium is larger than sodium, potassium's valence electron is at a greater distance from the attractive nucleus and is so removed more easily than sodium's valence electron. As it is removed more easily, it requires less energy, and can be said to be more reactive.

Explanation:

Consider the reaction. At equilibrium, the concentrations are as follows. [NOCl] = 1.4 ´ 10–2 M [NO] = 1.2 ´ 10–3 M [Cl2] = 2.2
EastWind [94]
2NOCl ⇄ 2NO + Cl₂

K = [NO]²[Cl₂]/[NOCl]
K = [0,0012]²[0,0022]/[0,014]²
K = 0,000000003/0,000196
K = 0,000016163

Air is made up of different gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and car
tia_tia [17]

The correct option would be that oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide cannot react with one another.

<h3>Why air components cannot react</h3>

The components of atmospheric air, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc., cannot react with one another because there is not enough energy in the atmosphere to set the reaction rolling.

For a reaction to take place, there must be enough energy to break the bonds in each air component. This is why the air components will not spontaneously react with one another, except during special events such as lightning and thunder.
