Sorting the chemical elements in order from least reactive to most reactive, we have:

1. Fluorine (F).

2. Arsenic (As).

3. Antimony (Sb).

4. Silicon (S).

<u>Given the following chemical elements:</u>

  • Antimony (Sb).
  • Silicon (S).
  • Fluorine (F).
  • Arsenic (As).

Reactivity can be defined as a chemical property which determines how readily a chemical element <u>bonds</u> with other chemical elements, in order to form a new chemical compound.

Generally, the ability of a chemical element to bond with other chemical elements is largely (highly) dependent on the number of valence electrons it has in the outermost shell of its atomic nucleus.

As a general rule, chemical elements that are having <u>fewer</u> number of valence electrons are the most reactive while those having <u>higher</u> valence electrons are least reactive.

Also, chemical reactivity <u>decreases</u> down a group on the periodic table.

Based on the periodic table, the valency for the given chemical elements are:

  • <u>Antimony (Sb):</u> 5 valence electrons.
  • <u>Silicon (S):</u> 4 valence electrons.
  • <u>Fluorine (F):</u> 7 valence electrons.
  • <u>Arsenic (As):</u> 5 valence electrons.

In conclusion, sorting the chemical elements in order from least reactive to most reactive, we have:

1. Fluorine (F).

2. Arsenic (As).

3. Antimony (Sb).

4. Silicon (S).

Use the drop-down menus to seled the correct responses to each question about ocean zones
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Intertidal zone

Neritic zone

Open-ocean zone

Note: the correct questions are found below;

In which zone do you find marshes and mangrove forests?

In which zone are plankton plentiful, providing plenty of food for the fish that live there?

In which zone would you find very little plant or animal life compared to other zones?

Explanation:

The intertidal zone, sometimes called the littoral zone, is the area of the marine shoreline that is exposed to air at low tide, and covered with seawater when the tide is high. Intertidal zonation refers to the tendency of plants and animals to form distinct communities between the high and low tide lines. Some microclimates in the littoral zone are moderated by local features and larger plants such as mangroves.

The neritic zone is the region of shallow water (200 meters depth) above the continental shelf where light penetrates to the sea floor.

Due to the abundant supply of sunlight and nutrients such as plankton in this zone, it is the most productive ocean zone supporting the vast majority of marine life.

The open oceans or pelagic ecosystems are the areas away from the coastal boundaries and above the seabed. It encompasses the entire water column and lies beyond the edge of the continental shelf. It extends from the tropics to the polar regions and from the sea surface to the abyssal depths.

A particular radioactive nuclide has a half-life of 1000 years. What percentage of an initial population of this nuclide has dec
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

91.16% has decayed & 8.84% remains

Explanation:

A = A₀e⁻ᵏᵗ => ln(A/A₀) = ln(e⁻ᵏᵗ) => lnA - lnA₀ = -kt => lnA = lnA₀ - kt

Rate Constant (k) = 0.693/half-life = 0.693/10³yrs = 6.93 x 10ˉ⁴yrsˉ¹

Time (t) = 1000yrs  

A = fraction of nuclide remaining after 1000yrs

A₀ = original amount of nuclide = 1.00 (= 100%)  

lnA = lnA₀ - kt

lnA = ln(1) – (6.93 x 10ˉ⁴yrsˉ¹)(3500yrs) = -2.426

A = eˉ²∙⁴²⁶ = 0.0884 = fraction of nuclide remaining after 3500 years

Amount of nuclide decayed = 1 – 0.0884 = 0.9116 or 91.16% has decayed.
