Answer:
All the members of a group of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties.
Explanation:
The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior.
Answer:
seven electrons
Explanation:
Chlorine is present in group seventeen of periodic table. It is halogen element. All halogens have seven electrons in outer most valance shell.
The require only one electron to gain the stable electronic configuration or to complete the octet.
Electronic configuration of chlorine:
Cl₁₇ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
Abbreviated electronic configuration:
Cl₁₇ = [Ne] 3s² 3p⁵
Properties of chlorine:
1. it is greenish-yellow irritating gas.
2. its melting point is 172.2 K
3. its boiling point is 238.6 K
4. it is disinfectant and can kill the bacteria.
5. it is also used in manufacturing of paper, paints and textile industries.
Answer:
The reaction would be 1500n (equal reaction)
Explanation:
This can be explained by Newton's third law of motion which states that for every action (force), there is an opposite and equal reaction. In other words, when two objects or people come in contact, the magnitude of force which they exert on each other is equal and they both feel an equal reaction force.
It doesn't matter whether one of the colliding bodies is of bigger mass than the other. This Newton's third law of motion is also known as the law of action and reaction.
