<u>Answer:</u> The tendency of an element to react is closely related to the number of valence electrons in the element.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Chemical reactivity is defined as the tendency of an element to loose of gain electrons.
Metals tend to loose electrons and so their chemical reactivity is the tendency to loose electrons.
Non-metals tend to gain electrons and so their chemical reactivity is the tendency to gain electrons.
The number of electrons that an element will loose or gain depends on the number of valence electrons present around that element.
<u>For Example:</u> Chlorine has 7 valence electrons and need 1 electron to complete its octet, whereas sulfur has 6 valence electrons and need 2 electrons to complete its octet.
So, chlorine will gain 1 electron easily than sulfur and thus, is more reactive than sulfur.
Hence, the tendency of an element to react is closely related to the number of valence electrons in the element.
Answer:
Explanation:
Chemically, we can have a reaction between chlorine gas and solid sodium
This reaction is actually explosive and would produce fine powder of sodium chloride
We have the reaction as follows:
Essentally, what we can deduce from here is that we do not need to add water to the flask. Except for the reason that we would want the sodium chloride solid in the solution form, there is absolutely no reason to add water to the flask as the reaction would proceed normally
Answer:
(a) See below
(b) 103.935 °F; 102.235 °F
Explanation:
The equation relating the temperature to time is
1. Calculate the thermometer readings after 0.5 min and 1 min
(a) After 0.5 min
(b) After 1 min
2. Calculate the thermometer reading after 2.0 min
T₀ =106.321 °F
ΔT = 100 - 106.321 °F = -6.321 °F
t = t - 1, because the cooling starts 1 min late
3. Plot the temperature readings as a function of time.
The graphs are shown below.
Proton gives nucleus positive charge P+
Answer:
<h2>The answer is option A</h2>
Explanation:
The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula
<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>
From the question
volume of object = 7 cm³
density = 5 g/cm³
The mass of the object is
mass = 5 × 7
We have the final answer as
<h2>35 g</h2>
