Open QuestionWhy does the lightest halogen, which is also the most chemically reactive, exhibit a decrease in reactivity as you move down the column of halogens in the periodic table? Explain this trend in terms of periodic properties.
Open QuestionWhat are the general outer electron configurations (nsx npy) for groups 6A and 7A in the periodic table? The electron affinity of each group 7A element is more negative than that of each corresponding group 6A element. Use the electron configurations to explain why this is so.
Open QuestionWhy is the electron affinity of each group 5A element more positive than that of each corresponding group 4A element? Use the outer electron configurations for these columns to suggest a reason for this observation.
