What elements will not form an acid when combined with hydrogen?
Only halogens form a binary acid with hydrogen.
What is similar with bromine and the rest of the halogens?
They have 7 valence electrons
Which element will have similar properties to chlorine?
Fluorine or Bromine have similar properties to chlorine because both are halogens.
Why only oxygen supports combustion and not hydrogen or nitrogen?
Hydrogen is not electronegative enough to act as a strong oxidizing agent, and the triple bond in the N2 molecule is difficult to break, making the gas largely inert. However, the halogens, particularly fluorine and chlorine can support redox reactions similar to combustion.
Which group of elements reliably forms acids when combined with hydrogen?
Group 17 (7A), the halogens.
The fact that hydrogen forms diatomic molecules makes it similar to what family?
Halogens
Why H cannot be placed in group 1a although its electronic configuraion is similar to group 1a?
It is so because it also resembles the the halogens. The enthalpy of bond dissociation of Hydrogen is quite similar to Halogens. Its properties resemble both alkali metals and the halogens but differ from them too. So, it is not placed with any of them.
Similar for all halogens?
There are five halogens found. All of halogens are non metals. Similar thing for all of them is they are non metals.
What are several chemical compounds found in seawater.?
iodine, hydrogen, oxygen, and other halogens oxygen, hydrogen, iodine, and other halogens
Which diatomic molecules have single bonds?
The halogens and hydrogen
What elements will not form an acid when combined with hydrogen?
Only halogens form a binary acid with hydrogen.
Are Hydrogen Nitrogen Oxygen and the Halogens diatomic molecules?
Yes
Which element is commonly a compound with polonium?
Oxygen, Hydrogen, halogens
Why is the position of hydrogen not justified in periodic table?
Because hydrogen resembles both Halogens and Alkali Metals.
Can Hydrogen make bond with alkali metals?
No, hydrogen is a nonmetal. It is grouped with the alkali metals because it has a similar outer shell electron configuration as they do. Hydrogen is something of an oddball among elements. It is rather unique, but share some characteristics with both the halogens and the alkali metals. When the periodic table is divided into groups (noble gasses, halogens, alkali metals, etc.) hydrogen is usually put in its own group.
How are halogens and noble gases alike?
they have similar properties
What are the reaction of other elements from actinium?
Actinium can react with halogens, oxygen, hydrogen.
