Answer: Electronegativity increases across a period.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as ability of an atom to attract shared pair of electrons in a bond toward itself.

Electronegativity increases across the period because when we move across the period from left to right numbers of protons and electrons are increased. By increase in number of protons ,nuclear charge also increases due to which electrons present in an atom are strongly attracted towards the nucleus. And due to presence of strong nuclear charge shared pair of electrons in a bond are also attracted towards nucleus of an electronegative atom.

I believe the answer would be A. Electronegativity increases across a period.

Answer:

Sodium - malleable, soft, and shiny

Silicon - has properties of both metals and nonmetals

Bromine - highly reactive gas

Argon - non-reactive gas

Explanation:

Sodium is an alkaline metal. Just like other alkaline metals, it's malleable, soft, and shiny.

Silicon is a metalloid. Metalloids are elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals.

Bromine a highly reactive chemical element. It is a fuming red-brown liquid at room temperature that evaporates to form a similarly coloured gas.

Argon is a noble gas. Just like other noble gases, it's non-reactive.

Tin (II) fluoride, formerly found in many kinds of toothpaste, is formed in this reaction: Sn (s) + 2HF (g) ——> SnF2 (s) + H2

Readme [11.4K]

1.34 L of HF

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

Sn (s) + 2 HF (g) → SnF₂ (s) + H₂ (g)

First we calculate the number of moles of SnF₂:

number of moles = mass / molecular weight

number of moles of SnF₂ = 5 / 157 = 0.03 moles

From the chemical reaction we see that 1 mole of SnF₂ are produced from 2 moles of SnF₂. This will mean that 0.03 moles of SnF₂ are produced from 0.06 moles of HF.

Now at standard temperature and pressure (STP) we can use the following formula to calculate the volume of HF:

number of moles = volume / 22.4 (L/mole)

volume of HF = number of moles × 22.4

volume of HF = 0.06 × 22.4 = 1.34 L

What is the main component of atoms that determines the type of bond that forms between atoms or compounds? Explain.

goldenfox [79]

<span>I think There should be a valanced state in every atom. (Valanced state means, 8 electrons in the outer most orbit) In case take a atom has 8 electrons in the outer orbit, so when bonding the two atom to form a molecule, there is a Ionic Bond (because of both atoms has its own valanced electron(8 electrons in outer most orbit).</span>
