Of these nonmetals, which one is likely to be the least reactive?A. nitrogen (N)
B. phosphorous (P)
C. sulfur (S)
D. oxygen (O)

Answers

Answer: Phosphorous

Explanation: Nitrogen(N): 7: 1s^22s^22p^3

Phosphorus(P): 15:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3

Oxygen(O): 8:1s^22s^22p^4

Sulphur(S): 16:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4

As nitrogen contains half filled configuration, it is stable and does not react. Phosphorous lies below nitrogen and reactivity decreases down a group for non metals as they tend to gain electrons as the valence shell move away from the nucleus.

Oxygen has 4 valence electrons, thus it need to gain two electrons to attain stable configuration. Thus is reactive.

Sulphur lies below oxygen and also need to gain two electrons. Reactivity decreases down a group for non metals as they tend to gain electrons as the valence shell move away from the nucleus.


Reactivity increases upward and decreases leftward for these nonmetals. Thus oxygen would be the most reactive since it is the most rightward and upward.

Green plants need light in order to survive Structures in the leaves absorb light, which in turn, helps plants make theirown tood
Under which color of light will plants be least likely to make food?
red
blue
orange
green

Answers

Answer:

The color of light in which plants are less likely to produce food is green.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants take advantage of sunlight to convert it into chemical energy, necessary to manufacture their nutrients, their growth and development.

Plants do not absorb all the colors of the light spectrum, since due to their pigments they absorb colors with specific wavelengths. Green plants do not absorb the color green, but reflect it —due to the chlorophyll pigment— which gives the green color to those leaves.

For this reason, the light that plants take least advantage of to produce food is green light.

Other options:

    The colors blue, orange and red can be absorbed by the plant, to a lesser or greater degree.

Answer:

it would be green

Explanation:

Find the normality of a solution containing 20g of H2SO4(sulfuric acid) per 500ml of solution. The molar mass of H2SO4 is 98 g/eq. H2SO4 has two replaceable H+.

Answers

H2SO4 ------------- > 2 H⁺  +  SO₄²⁻

g/eq =  molar mass / number of H⁺

g/eq = 98 / 2

= 49 g/eq

Volume in liters = 500 mL / 1000 => 0.5 L

N = 20 / 0.5 x 49

N = 20 / 24.5

= 0.816 N

hope this helps!

 

How does assigning oxidation states in compounds help you balance redox reactions?a. The oxidation state tells you how the bonding electrons are arrayed in an atom or molecule. b. The oxidation state tells you about an atom or molecule’s potential to accept or donate electrons. c.The oxidation state tells you the exact charge in each atom. d. The oxidation state is the equivalent of the formal charge. I'm a little stuck on chemistry homework.

Answers

The best answer is B.....
In my words though, the oxidation state helps with you knowing how many electrons are lost or gain by the reactant to produce its product and by knowing this you can then balance the electron transfer and ultimately the equations.

Which best describes the oxidizing agent in this reaction? Cl2(aq) + 2Br(aq) --> 2Cl(aq) + Br2(aq)

Answers

The reaction is:

Cl2(aq) + 2Br-(aq) --> 2Cl-(aq) + Br2(aq)

The oxidizing agent is the one that is being reduced which is chlorine  where the charge changed from neutral to -1 while the reducing agent is the one being oxidized which is bromine where the charge change from -1 to a neutral charge.

Answer:

The answer is C:

Chlorine (Cl) is the oxidizing agent because it gains an electron
