Fluorine
Group 16 elements, also known as chalcogens, would most readily react with group 2 elements (alkaline earth metals) to form compounds. This reaction typically involves the transfer of electrons from the alkaline earth metal to the chalcogen to achieve a stable electron configuration. Examples include reactions between oxygen (a group 16 element) and magnesium (a group 2 element) to form magnesium oxide.
Potassium loses electrons more readily than sodium due to its lower ionization energy and larger atomic radius. This makes potassium more reactive than sodium in terms of losing electrons to form positive ions.
1) it's spelt Calcium and 2) 20 protons, 20 electrons, 20 neutrons
Carbon is group 14 element and comes under p-block elements. It is because its last electrons fall into the p-subshell. Its electronic configuration is 1s22s22p2 . Transition elements are the elements of d-block.They are named so because their position in the periodic table lies between the s-block and p-block elements. They have their last electrons filled in the d-orbital.
Yes. Gold is an element which exists in nature, as pure, solid gold. Because it is quite inert and unreactive, gold does not easily give up electrons (i.e. is not easily oxidised) and hence it does not readily form compounds in nature, rather it exists in its elemental form. For example, zinc is a more reactive metal than gold and more readily gives up electrons to form ions, and hence it is often found in nature as a ZnO (solid) or ZnS (zinc sulfide - solid) compound. As an ion, gold is readily reduced (i.e. gains electrons) to form solid, elemental gold.
Gold, as it's the most electronegative of those four elements.
No. Fluorine wears that crown, followed by chlorine. These two halogens can strip an electron from just about anything, even noble gases! The only known molecules which include noble gases have been made with these halogens for this reason. Sulfur is more electronegative or electrophilic (electron loving) that almost all other elements, but the two previously mentioned halogens are way out in front of it.
Chlorine most readily accepts electrons among silicon, sulfur, chlorine, and phosphorus. Chlorine is a halogen and has a high electron affinity due to its high electronegativity, making it more likely to accept electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. Silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus are nonmetals with varying electron affinities but are generally less likely to accept electrons compared to chlorine.
a metal and a nonmetal such as sodium and sulfur which would make sodium sulfide
Group VII A or XVII or Halogens.
Francium is considered the most metallic element. It is an alkali metal with the highest metallic character due to its low ionization energy and ability to readily lose electrons. However, francium is extremely rare and highly radioactive.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is one of the most important coenzymes that accepts electrons and hydrogen during cellular respiration to help produce ATP.
Oxygen is the period 2 element most likely to form an ion with a charge of minus 2 because it readily gains two electrons to achieve a stable electronic configuration.
Yes, fluorine is the most reactive element in the periodic table due to its high electronegativity and small atomic size, leading to strong attraction for electrons. Its reactivity stems from its tendency to readily gain an electron to achieve a stable octet electron configuration.
A type of element that fits this description is a noble gas. Noble gases have a full valence shell of electrons, making them stable and unreactive. While they have many valence electrons, they are not conductors of electricity because they do not readily lose or gain electrons.
The valence electrons are the outer most electrons and the principal energy level in which they belong will vary for element to element and generally corresponds to the period number in which the element is present
Potassium is the most reactive element with oxygen, readily reacting to form potassium oxide.
