Question

hi I'm study for a midterm and i have a bunch of questions which are left blank and i can't find the answer online if you can can thank you so much

 

consider the following elements BR I and cl which is the most reactive nonmetal 

Answer 1

Mike - I can tell you the order of reactivity for these specific nonmetals, I<Br<Cl, therefore, Cl is the most reactive nonmetal in this list.  But unless you know WHY this is the case, I'm not sure how helpful that is to you.

 

If you want to know more about the periodic table and trends in reactivity (and some of the reasons behind them), I would be happy to go over that with you in a tutoring session.  :)  https://www.wyzant.com/Tutors/JulieTheChemTutor

 

Good luck with your studies!
