Answer to Question #80690 in General Chemistry for Hus

Question

Atoms of 4 non-metallic elements in the same group of the periodic table are arranged in order of increasing atomic radius as R<T<W<X which of the elements
i. Would easily lose e(s) from the uttermost shell
ii. Is most electronegative
iii. Would That displace from aqueous solution. Give a reason.
iv. Is at the top of the group
v. Has least electron affinity
vi. Is most oxidizing

Answer 1

Answer:
i. Would easily lose e(s) from the uttermost shell – this is X, this element is iodine (J)
ii. R – is most electronegative, this element is fluorine (F)
iii. Fluorine would other halogens displace from aqueous solution, because fluorine so much powerful oxidizing element than other halogens.
iv. Fluorine F is at the top of the group.
v. Iodine (J) has least electron affinity.
vi. Fluorine (F) is most oxidizing.
So this four elements are F < Cl < Br < J
