Chlorine is the most electronegative

answered: lisa123465

Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the ability of an element or atom to readily attract electrons towards itself.

Generally, non-metals are the species which tend to show electronegativity. Whereas metals have the ability to lose electrons in order to gain stability.

Hence, metals are electropositive in nature.

For example, potassium and francium are metals.

And, astatine is a metalloid, that is, it shows properties of both metals and non-metals. Hence, it shows both electropositive and electronegative nature.

Chlorine being a non-metal is electronegative in nature and hence, it has the ability to readily attract an electron.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options chlorine element is the most electronegative.

For cyclohexane compounds drawn in a chair conformation: -axial bonds are vertical -equatorial bonds are parallel to two bonds within the ring. thus, as i assume the chair conformation is drawn: -the x group is in an axial position, as are the five other vertical bonds. -three axial bonds are on the top face of the ring -the other three axial bonds are on the bottom face the position of the second substituent on each ring carbon is equatorial. gauche groups must be on an adjacent carbon such as carbon 6 and carbon 2, and also gauche groups are rotated by 60 degrees relative to each other. drawing the newman projections for c1–c2 and c1–c6 aids in visualizing the groups that are gauche to the y group on c1. click this link and watch some academic videos that may you more understand the topic

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?

98 points you will be galileo perform the experiment to determine if objects with different mass fall at the same, or different, rates in the air and in a vacuum. before you conduct your experiment, you need to form a hypothesis. a hypothesis is a prediction of what you think will happen in the experiment. the hypothesis is a statement that describes “if” a certain set of circumstances are present “then” there will be a specific result that will occur. record your hypothesis here: record the results from step one of the experiment (dropping the objects in the air): first trial: second trial: third trial: record the results from step two of the experiment (dropping the objects in a vacuum): first trial: second trial: third trial: did the experiment support your hypothesis? using the data from your experiment, describe why you believe your hypothesis was either proven or disproven. what forces were acting on the objects dropped in the air? what force was acting on the objects dropped in the vacuum? part two: comparing forces choose two forces and compare and contrast these forces. you must provide two ways that they are alike and two ways that they are different. you may make a list, write in paragraph form, or make a chart. choose two forces and compare and contrast these forces. these must be different forces than used in the prior question. provide two ways that they are similar and two ways that they are different. you may make a list, write it out, or make a chart.
