What is the chemical name of rust?hydrated iron(II) oxidehydrated iron(III) oxideanhydrous iron(II) oxideanhydrous iron(I) oxideQuestion 7 of 23 Loading... 8. Explain, in terms of the arrangement of electrons in its atoms, why neon is very unreactiveNeon has an even number of electrons so it does not need to form bondsNeon has the same number of electrons and protons so it is unreactiveNeon has 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it is full. Therefore it does not easily gain or lose electronsNeon is a noble gasQuestion 8 of 23 Loading... 9. Why do elements in the same group of the periodic table have similar chemical properties?Elements in the same group of the periodic table have different numbers of electrons in their outer shellElements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of electrons in their outer shellElements in the same group of the periodic table are all the same type of element (metal, non-metal etc.)Elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of protonsQuestion 9 of 23 Loading... 10. If 2 similar test tubes contain acid, and a different metal sample is added to each, how might you tell which metal is more reactive?Fewer bubbles appear in the test tube with the more reactive metalThe metal that disappears fastest is the less reactive metalMore bubbles will appear faster in the test tube with the more reactive metalThe test tube with the more reactive metal will turn cloudy fasterQuestion 10 of 23 Loading... 11. If pieces of lithium, potassium and sodium were added to water, how could observations of the different reactions indicate the relative reactivity of those 3 metals?Lithium would bubble the most vigorously, showing it is most reactive. Potassium would give off a lilac flame, showing it is least reactive.Sodium would bubble the least vigorously, showing it is least reactive. Potassium would give off a orange flame, showing it is most reactive.Sodium would bubble the least vigorously, showing it is least reactive. Lithium would give off a orange flame, showing it is most reactive.Lithium would bubble the least vigorously, showing it is least reactive. Potassium would give off a lilac flame, showing it is most reactive.Question 11 of 23 Loading... 12. Explain, by referring to the electronic configurations, why lithium is less reactive than sodium.Sodium has the electronic configuration 2,8,1 and lithium has 2,1. The outer electron lost from sodium is closer to the nucleus therefore the electron is more attracted by the nucleus. So sodium is more reactive than lithiumSodium has the electronic configuration 2,8,1 and lithium has 2,1. The outer electron lost from sodium is further from the nucleus therefore the electron is less attracted by the nucleus. So sodium is more reactive than lithiumSodium has the electronic configuration 2,8,1 and lithium has 2,8,8,1. The outer electron in lithium is more attracted to the nucleus than in sodium because it is further away. So sodium is more reactive than lithiumSodium has the electronic configuration 2,8,1 and lithium has 2,8,8,1. The outer electron in lithium is less attracted to the nucleus than in sodium because it is further away. So lithium is more reactive than sodiumQuestion 12 of 23 Loading... 13. Explain, by referring to the electronic configurations, why fluorine is more reactive than chlorineFluorine has the electronic configuration 2,8,7 and chlorine has 2,7. An extra outer electron is gained more easily by chlorine. This is because the outer shell is closer to the nucleus, so an extra electron is attracted more strongly. So fluorine is more reactive than chlorineFluorine has the electronic configuration 2,7 and chlorine has 2,8,7. An extra outer electron is gained more easily by chlorine. This is because the outer shell is closer to the nucleus, so an extra electron is attracted more strongly. So fluorine is more reactive than chlorineFluorine has the electronic configuration 2,8,7 and chlorine has 2,7. An extra outer electron is gained more easily by fluorine. This is because the outer shell is closer to the nucleus, so an extra electron is attracted more strongly. So fluorine is more reactive than chlorineFluorine has the electronic configuration 2,7 and chlorine has 2,8,7. An extra outer electron is gained more easily by fluorine. This is because the outer shell is closer to the nucleus, so an extra electron is attracted more strongly. So fluorine is more reactive than chlorineQuestion 13 of 23 Loading... 14. Write the word equation to represent the reaction between sulfuric acid and magnesiumsulfuric acid + magnesium → magnesium sulfide + watersulfuric acid + magnesium → magnesium sulfate + watersulfuric acid + magnesium → magnesium sulfide + hydrogensulfuric acid + magnesium → magnesium sulfate + hydrogenQuestion 14 of 23 Loading... 15. Where are metals found on the periodic table?On the left, reaching across the middleOnly in the left hand columnAt the top rightOnly on the bottom rowQuestion 15 of 23 Loading... 16. Write the electronic configuration of argon8,8,22,8,82,8,68,8,8Question 16 of 23 Loading... 17. State 4 observations when lithium reacts with water1) fizzing occurs 2) lithium moves around 3) lithium disappears 4) lithium floats1) fizzing occurs 2) lithium stays still 3) lithium disappears 4) lithium sinks1) fizzing occurs 2) lithium moves around 3) lithium disappears 4) lithium sinks1) fizzing occurs 2) lithium stays still 3) lithium disappears 4) lithium floatsQuestion 17 of 23 Loading... 18. State the most reactive element in group 7ChlorineAstatineBromineFluorineQuestion 18 of 23 Loading... 19. An experiment investigates which of metals X and Z is more reactive.
