Which elements are the most reactive and why?

2 answers:

8 0

Alkali metals (situated far away from transitional metals and noble gases) are the most reactive elemental group. Cesium is second from the bottom of this group, with 6 electron shells, so it fits all the characteristics of a reactive atom, therefore making it the most reactive element.

Answer:

Fluorine is identified as the most reactive nonmetal and the most electro-negative element in the periodic table, making it the strongest oxidizing agent. Caesium is the most reactive metal in the periodic table, so much that working with this metal often ends in explosions!

Hydrogen is a very reactive gas, and the alkali metals are even more reactive. In fact, they are the most reactive metals and, along with the elements in group 17, are the most reactive of all elements.

Hope that helps.

LMBO, for science.

Answer:

<em>The increase in kinetic energy leads to leakage of water from the syringe. When the outside temperature is more than the liquid temperature, say the syringe is out in sunshine, then the liquid becomes slightly warmer.</em>

Draw a bond-line structure for CH3CH2O(CH2)2CH(CH3)2.<br><br> Include Lone Pairs in your answer.

mash [69]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

A bond line structure refers to any structure of a covalent molecule wherein the covalent bonds present in the molecule are represented with a single line for each level of bond order.

The bond-line structure of CH3CH2O(CH2)2CH(CH3)2 has been shown in the image attached. We know that oxygen has a lone pair of electrons and this has been clearly shown also in the image attached.

When metals, non metals,and metallics are composed according to luster, which is best description of the appearance of metalloid

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Metalloids are metallic-looking brittle solids that are either semiconductors or exist in semiconducting forms, and have amphoteric or weakly acidic oxides. Typical nonmetals have a dull, coloured or colourless appearance; are brittle when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides.

What is the final product of the following sequence of reactions? (CH3NCHOH PBr3 Mg diethyl ether 1) L N PCC 2) H3O * CH2Cl2 A)

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

(CH3)2CHCH2CHO

Explanation:

The reaction sequence begins with the reaction of isopropanol with phosphorus tribromide to yield isopropyl bromide. This is followed by reaction with Magnesium in ether solution giving a grignard reagent, isopropyl magnesium bromide. This is now attacked by oxirane and the epoxide ring opens, hydrolysis of the product, followed by oxidation using pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) yields the final product- (CH3)2CHCH2CHO

The detailed reaction mechanism is attached to this answer.
