Elements in a period have consecutive atomic numbers. Groups have same properties and not consecutive atomic numbers.

Answer:

Hydrogen

Explanation:

It is considered a special element due to its flexibility in giving up & taking in electrons, therefore making it good for organic & inorganic chemistry. Hydrogen has only one proton and one electron and is the only element which has no neutrons. it is considered as the simplest element in the universe and gives a valid reason for it to be the most abundant and common element in the universe.

When 1 mole of H2(g) reacts with F2(g) to form HF(g) according to the following equation, 542 kJ of energy are evolved H2(g) + F

topjm [15]

Answer: The reaction is exothermic. The value of q is -542 kJ.

Explanation:

Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and for the reaction comes out to be positive.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and for the reaction comes out to be negative.

Thus $H_2(g)+F_2(g)\rightarrow 2HF(g)$ evolves heat , it is exothermic in nature. The value of q is -542kJ.
