Explain how the atomic radius of an element is related to its chemical reactivity and ionization energy. A) Increasing atomic radii indicates increasing chemical reactivity due to decreasing ionization energy
B) Chemical reactivity remains the same while the atomic radii decreases with increasing ionization energy.
C) Increasing both the ionization energy and the atomic radii results in increasing the chemical reactivity.
D) As the atomic radii of the element decrease, the ionization energy increases and the chemical reactivity decreases

sure im new too!

explanation:

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.
