Question

a. For reactions with H₂, Li readily reacts with H₂; F₂ readily reacts with H₂; but C does not readily combine with H₂. Explain the absence of reactivity with C.

b. For reactions with N₂, the reaction of N₂with O₂is one of the most complex reactions on the periodic table, but N₂ does not directly combine with most other elements.  What features of N₂ explain this lack of reactivity?

c. What product(s) would you predict for each of the reactions below?  (Ignore any reactions associated with radioactivity.)

Fl  +  O₂   →

Lv +  F₂  →

Nh  + H₂O  →

Answer 1

A) Hydrogen is a peculiar element in periodic table and can have either +1 charge or -1. Li readily forms Li+ ions as it is in 1 st group thereby reacts with hydrogen. Fluorine readily forms F- and hence hydrogen reacts raedily with fluorine. But carbon having 4 electrons in its valency shell can't form either +4 or -4 easily.

B) N2 is a 15th group element and hence forms a triple bond this is very strong and requires huge energy for breaking this bond. This makes it mostly inert to all reactions.

C)flevorium livermorium iand Nihorium are all artifitial super heavy elements with very high radio activity.
