- Why does the reactivity of the alkali metals decrease from cesium to lithium?arrow_forwardWhen a nonmetal oxide reacts with water, it forms anoxoacid with the same nonmetal oxidation state. Give the name and formula of the oxide used to prepare each of these oxoacids:(a) hypochlorous acid; (b) chlorous acid; (c) chloric acid; (d) perchloric acid; (e) sulfuric acid; (f ) sulfurous acid; (g) nitricacid; (h) nitrous acid; (i) carbonic acid; ( j) phosphoric acid.arrow_forwardUntil the early 1960s the group 8A elements were called the inert gases; before that they were called the rare gases. The term rare gases was dropped after it was discovered that argon accounts for roughly 1% of Earth’s atmosphere. (a) Why was the term inert gases dropped? (b) What discovery triggered this change in name? (c)What name is applied to the group now?arrow_forward
- (a) The third row element with the largest first ionization energy. (b) The Group 3A element with the largest first ionization energy. (c) The Group 3A element with the largest atomic radius.arrow_forwardThe oxygen and nitrogen families have some obvious sim-ilarities and differences.(a) State two general physical similarities between Group5A(15) and 6A(16) elements. (b) State two general chemical similarities between Group5A(15) and 6A(16) elements.(c) State two chemical similarities between P and S.(d) State two physical similarities between N and O.(e) State two chemical differences between N and O.arrow_forwardA certain element, M, is a main-group metal that reacts with chlorine to give a compound with the chemical formula MCl2 and with oxygen to give the compound MO.(a) To which group in the periodic table does element M belong?(b) The chloride contains 44.7% chlorine by mass. Name the element Marrow_forward
- Assume that you have these materials:a) Li (s); b) Br2 (l); Ge (s) and d) Si(s).Choose the best electrical conductor among them and explain why.arrow_forwardThe first three ionization energies of an element X are 900, 1745, and 14912 kJ·mol–1. What is the most likely formula for the stable ion of X?arrow_forward(a) List four physical characteristics of a solid metal. (b) List two chemical characteristics of a metallic element.arrow_forward
- Iodine monochloride and elemental bromine have nearly the same molar mass and liquid density but very different boiling points.(a) What molecular property is primarily responsible for this difference in boiling point? What atomic property gives rise to it? Explain.(b) Which substance has a higher boiling point? Why?arrow_forwardWould you expect potassium perchlorate, KClO4(aq), in a concentrated acidic solution to act as an oxidizing agent or as a reducing agent?arrow_forwardConsider these statements about an element E in Group 4A: • The most important modern use of E is as an ultrapure semiconductor used to make microelectronic chips. • E has two main allotropes: a shiny silvery-white metal at room temperature, and a brittle gray powdery form at colder temperatures. • Although E is not a common element on the Earth's crust, deposits of the mineral EO₂ are widely found, and this ore can be reduced to E with moderate heating and charcoal. • Under standard conditions, E is a metal. Are all of these statements true about the same Group 4A element? If you said yes, what is E? Enter its chemical symbol: O O 0 yes no X Sarrow_forward
