Answer:
B) As you move across the row, the number of electrons increases and reactivity also increases.
Explanation:
The periodic table is arranged in a way that if you go across a period, the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an element increases. In terms of reactivity, the most reactive elements are the ones which have a high electronegativity. The electronegativity of the elements increases as you travel to the right and upwards on the periodic table.
Answer: They can be separated by physical processes.
Explanation: A mixture is made up of two or more substances that are not chemically combined and can be easily separated into its constituents by physical methods.
Answer:
N-Cl
Explanation:
Look at the chart below. Since N-Cl bond has a electronegativity difference of (3.0-3.0) zero, they are non-polar.
Answer:
C. Lose three electrons to have a full outer shell
Explanation:
Al is in Group 13 of the Periodic Table, so it has three valence electrons.
It must either lose three electrons or gain five to achieve a stable octet.
It is easier to lose three electrons than it is to gain five, so Al loses three electrons.
D. is wrong, for the same reason.
A. is wrong. If Al lost three electrons, it would be breaking into a stable inner shell.
C. is wrong. Al is a metal, so it will lose electrons in a reaction.
