How do the melting points change with increasing atomic number for the diatomic elements in Group 17? (A) decrease (B) increase (C) not predictable (D) little or no change

Explanation / Answer

63.

b) Li+, because it has the highest elecyrode potential for gaining an electron.

64.

only alpha radiations can be blocked. So option a) is correct.

65.

no- of half lives = 2.1*10^9/7*10^8 = 3

ending amount= beginning amount/2n

where n= no. of half lives=3

plugging in the values, we get amount left= 5 gram option c)

66.

atomic number of missing element= 106-8 = 98

atomuc mass= 263+4-18= 249.

so option (a) is correct.

67.

b), to neutralise the effect of H2SO4, note that NaOH is not used because it would be an acid-base reaction and large amount of heat would be released.

68.

B) three only, because ammonia and sulphuric acid are hazardous waste.

69.

D) Ca

70.

B) increase.
