Answer:

The noble gases have 8 valence electrons in their outermost electron shell. In other words, they have full out shells. These elements are highly stable.

Consider the halogenation of ethene, where x is a generic halogen: h2c=ch2(g)+x2(g)→h2xc−ch2x(g) you may want to reference (page
KengaRu [80]
Consider the halogenation of ethene is as follows:
CH₂=CH₂(g) + X₂(g) → H₂CX-CH₂X(g)
We can expect that this reaction occurring by breaking of a C=C bond and forming of two C-X bonds.
When bond break it is endothermic and when bond is formed it is exothermic.
So we can calculate the overall enthalpy change as a sum of the required bonds in the products:
Part a) 
C=C break = +611 kJ
2 C-F formed = (2 * - 552) = -1104 kJ
Δ H = + 611 - 1104 = - 493 kJ

2C-Cl formed = (2 * -339) = - 678 kJ
ΔH = + 611 - 678 = -67 kJ

2 C-Br formed = (2 * -280) = -560 kJ
ΔH = + 611 - 560 = + 51 kJ

2 C-I Formed = (2 * -209) = -418 kJ
ΔH = + 611 - 418 = + 193 kJ

Part b)
As we can see that the highest exothermic bond formed is C-F bond so from bond energies we can found that addition of fluoride is the most exothermic reaction

can you guys help me out??? How do different plant structures increase the chances for successful reproduction? Use evidence to
Roman55 [17]

Answer: Different plant structure can increase chances of reproduction by the animals and other living organisms in the ecosystem.

Explanation: Plants like flowers can be pollinated by bees . The bees carry the pollen and this can increase chances of reproduction. Plants like plums that have large seeds can increase chances of reproduction by there fruit falling and rotting so the seed can be forced into soil. Different structures of plants can increase chances of reproduction through the animals, soil around the plant, as well as weather .
