- Question
The reactivity of an atom arises from
Options- A. the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell
- B. the energy differences between the electron shells
- C. the sum of the potential energies of all the electron shells
- D. the average distance of the outermost electron shell from the nucleus
- Correct Answer
- the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell
ExplanationWhen atoms react they do so in order to reach the lowest energy, which is the most stable. The electrons orbitals will overlap in the way that reduces the energy the most. Orbitals of similar energy will produce the greatest stabilisation.The answer you gave isn't the whole story, it depends what species is reacting with what. The effective nuclear charge on the atom will affect the energy of the valance electrons.
Hence, the reactivity of an atom arises from the existence of unpaired electrons in the valence shell.

Correct Answer: Both B & C
Explanation:
Why Water Is Not an Element :
An element is a substance consisting of only one type of atom. Water consists of two types of atoms: hydrogen and oxygen.
water is both a molecule and a compound :
A compound forms whenever two or more atoms form chemical bonds with each other. The chemical formula for water is H2O, which means each molecule of water consists of one oxygen atom chemically bonded to two hydrogen atoms.
Thus, water is a compound.
It's also a molecule, which is any chemical species formed by two or more atoms chemically bonded to each other. The terms molecule and compound mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably.
Hence, water is both a molecule and a compound.
Correct Answer: Vitamins B & C
Explanation:
Vitamins are essential nutrients found in foods. They perform specific and vital functions in a variety of body systems, and are crucial for maintaining optimal health.
The two different types of vitamins are fat-soluble vitamins and water-soluble vitamins.
Fat-soluble vitamins :
Vitamins A, D, E and K ? dissolve in fat before they are absorbed in the bloodstream to carry out their functions. Excesses of these vitamins are stored in the liver, and are not needed every day in the diet.
Water-soluble vitamins :
Vitamins dissolve in water and are not stored by the body. Since they are eliminated in urine, we require a continuous daily supply in our diet. The water-soluble vitamins include the vitamin B-complex group and vitamin C.
Water-soluble vitamins are easily destroyed or washed out during food storage or preparation.
Correct Answer: The sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain differs from protein to protein
Correct Answer: Oxygen and Acetylene
Explanation:
Normal Gas welding use oxygen-acetylene.
Depending on what materials you are welding, there are some more options that might be used.
For example - MIG/TIG use Argon, MAG use an argon-something mix.
Correct Answer: Covalent
Explanation:
Covalent type of bonding joins The two hydrogen atoms are joned by Covalent type of bonding.
In this type of bonding, electrons are shared between the atoms in order to fill there valence shells. Thus sharing of electrons take place in between the hydrogen atoms.
Correct Answer: The atom has more electrons than protons.
Explanation:
Anions are atoms or radicals (groups of atoms), that have gained electrons. Since they now have more electrons than protons, anions have a negative charge.
Correct Answer: Chemical
Explanation:
In rusting the Iron ore make a chemical reaction with the oxygen in the presence of water and environmental or atmospheric moisture to produce an Iron oxide. Iron oxide is otherwise called as rust.
The rusting of iron is a chemical change because it is two substances reacting together to make a new substance.
Correct Answer: Aurum
Explanation:
The Chemical name of Gold is Aurum with symbol Au with atomic number 79 and a group 11 element. In its purest form, it is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal.
Chemically, gold is a transition metal.
Correct Answer: In chemistry, a product is a substance that is formed as the result of a chemical reaction In a reaction, starting materials called reactants and the ending materials are called products
Correct Answer: Cl
Explanation:
The micronutrients (or trace minerals): boron (B), chlorine (Cl), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni). and cobalt (Co).
