Chemistry Questions

FCH₂COOH is the strongest acid out of all.

Since the electron withdrawing inductive effect (-I effect) of the halogens decreases in the order of F>Cl> Br> I , therefore the acidic strength of the α- halo acids decreases in the same order.

FCH₂COOH  >  ClCH₂COOH   >   BrCH₂COOH   >   ICH₂COOH.

What is Dipole :

when two atoms in a molecule have substantially different electronegativity: One atom attracts electrons more than another, becoming more negative, while the other atom becomes more positive.

Potassium reacts violently with water liberating hydrogen. The reaction is so violent that the liberated hydrogen catches fire.

Helium has the highest First Ionization Energy in the Noble Gases group.

Ionization Energy ::

Ionisation energy is the energy required to remove one mole of electrons from one mole of gaseous atoms. Atoms are more stable when they have full valence shells.

Noble Gases have a very stable electron configuration, therefore, they have the highest amount of ionization energy within their periods. It decreases down a family because electrons farther from the nucleus are easier to remove.

Ionization Energy levels of Noble Gases group in Descending Order :: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn
