Why Fr is the most reactive metal ?​

Chemistry
2 answers:

Answer:

Francium is an alkali metal in group 1/IA. All alkali metals have one valence electron. ... This makes it easier to remove the electron and makes the atom more reactive. Experimentally speaking, cesium (caesium) is the most reactive metal.  Metal ions are positively charged as they lose negative electrons. Some metals give up their electrons more readily than others and are, therefore, more reactive.On the other hand, lead atom loses electrons with difficulty to form positive ions, so lead metal is less reactive.

Answer:

Francium is hypothesized to be the most reactive metal, but so little of it exists or can be synthesized, and the longest half-life of its most abundant isotope is  

22.00

minutes, so that its reactivity cannot be determined experimentally.

Explanation:

Francium is an alkali metal in group 1/IA. All alkali metals have one valence electron. As you go down the group, the number of electron energy levels increases – lithium has two, sodium has three, etc..., as indicated by the period number. The result is that the outermost electron gets further from the nucleus. The attraction from the positive nucleus to the negative electron is less. This makes it easier to remove the electron and makes the atom more reactive.

Experimentally speaking, cesium (caesium) is the most reactive metal.

How are the properties of sodium chloride different than sodium and chlorine
lions [1.4K]
<span>Sodium chloride is formed when sodium atoms interact with chlorine atoms. When this occurs, sodium will donate an electron (which is a negatively-charged particle) to chlorine. This makes sodium slightly positive and chlorine slightly negative. ... So then, sodium ions will attract chloride ions and form an ionic bond.</span>

2 H2O2(aq) ----&gt; 2 H2O(l) + O2(g) in the presence of I-(aq) is proposed to be: Step 1 (slow): H2O2 + I- -----&gt; H2O + OI- S
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Molecularity of the rate determining step = 2

Explanation:

Step 1 (slow): H₂O₂ + I⁻ -----> H₂O + OI⁻

Step 2 (fast): H₂O₂ + OI⁻ -----> H₂O + O₂ + I⁻

The rate determining step in a reaction mechanism is also considered as slowest step.

Slowest step is also considered its highest activation energy in energy profile diagram.

In this case intermediate  (IO⁻) is formed.

Step 1 considered as a slowest step.

So,  Rate = K [H₂O₂][I⁻]

  Molecularity = 2

vitfil [10]
[Co(CN)₆]³⁻ → Yellow
[Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ → Orange
[CoF₆]³⁻ → Blue
Explanation:
- All the given compounds have octahedral geometry but the ligand in each are different with the same metal ion.

- Ligands strength order:     CN⁻ > NH₃ > F⁻ 

- The ligand CN will act as a strong field ligand so that the splitting is maximum when compared to NH₃ and F⁻

- If the splitting is more, the energy required for transition is more, and the wavelength is inversely proportional to energy.

- So CN complex will absorb at lower wavelength (yellow color)
